GG: I believe the comic you are referring to is the Uncanny X-Men annual #14. That comic featured a cameo of Gambit, but his first OFFICIAL APPEARANCE is Uncanny X-Men #266.
Uncanny X-Men #266 is roughly about $35 in Near Mint condition. The worse the grade, the cheaper the book. Uncanny X-Men Annual #14 is roughly about $12 in NM condition. same rules apply.
There are copies of the book that have been CGC graded that are much more expensive. CGC is a 3rd party grading company that will grade your book on a 10.0 scale with gloves, magnifying glasses, etc. There has only been 3 copies of the book CGC graded in a 9.9 or higher grade. I have seen that book in that kind of grade sell for $1500. The book in a 9.8 grade will typically go for around $200+. I have two of these.
Here's the census showing what CGC has graded of Uncanny X-Men #266.
I hope this helps.

I managed to get an x-men #266 off e-bay for £13 in pretty near mint condition. I found it by looking through mis-spelled auctions.
It's an ok comic, but I glad that they changed Gambit after that issue, I had to have it though as it's a milestone.

mis-spelled auctions? Dude, I never thought of that. I wonder how many typos prevent the sale of a perfectly legil item because it doesn't come up in the searches...

Quite a few I'd wager, that's how I get a lot of my Gambit stuff.

What sort of searches do you do to find the misnamed items.
I would like to get some more Gambit stuff myself and am always looking for a bargin.

Try stuff like gabmit, gambat, gmbit etc, most of the time it works. Good luck

Mayhap not an evil genius, but you're going the right way to be a benevolent genuis.

I suppose it will do, although I fear that I will have to send the evil henchmen uniforms back.

How do you feel about orange? All evil henchmen/women must wear orange, it's kind of a rule.

No, please, anything but orange.
Anyway, to get this thread back on topic.
At some point I am going to look for Uncanny #266, since any Gambit collection I have won't feel complete without it.

Ok so maybe fuschia?
As for #266, I do know of a comic shop that had one in stock as recently as last week for £11, not sure of the condition though. I could dig out the address if you want.
