All the Fatal Attractions and Phalanx Covenant books have cardboard covers, and they'd be all one right after the other.

Probably not in oversewn either. I'm personally more concerned about cardboard covers on gluebound books (which the Phalanx Covenant issues aren't) because I fret that turning the covers too much stresses and weakens the glue. -- Retroactive Comics - 60s, 70s, 80s style comic books!

However, I have reservations about being able to read the books comfortably, since the cardstock covers don't give very well, and would keep sticking up. Although, for Phalanx Covenant, you could go and find the non-enhanced versions with the regular covers, so there won't be a problem there. And on a mapping note, I believe UXM 305-306 goes between UXM 304 and X-Men 25 (even says so on the first page of each issue). And Cable #20 should go before X-Men #41. And X-Men #38 and 39 are missing from the second book you have listed there.
