Great issue, bought it off the newsstands...such imagination.

I know you have heard it many times before...you just had be there at the time...to live as it was a unique and somewhat naive period in mid to late 1960. I myself remember the time when I was 5/6 we left the house and my mon said we had to go back we left the front door unlocked and my dad looked at her like she was crazy and said nobody is gonna in our house!...Nobody did. As a early comic book collector, all male and even some female kids collected at that time, my biggest impression is when I first meet a older collector say 15 and he showed him neatly stacked comic book collection and taught me to keep them in the best condition possible, He showed me what he had just bought off the newsstand, FF6...two copies..I could not believe it..one for his collection and one to read. Well those were the days. It is a tough choice to price the one comic book that influenced me for life as a SA collector and reader. I am basing my decision on "newsstand impact"...that is the book that said "Wow" to me and I knew at that point I was a comic book collector, not just a reader. The runner's up are FF1 which created quite a stir among us kids when it was released, and FF Ann #1...which everybody had to have...the book to this day is one the greatest comic books ever created. So here I am looking at the newsstand and there it was FF5...Who is this guy....after reading it 20 times...you knew this was special, this issue elevated FF to in my opinion...the greatest comic magazine status. From then on, it was go deeper and deeper as a collector, the EC pocket books especially tales from the crypt and tales of the incredible got me on to ec...where did those come from....Superman and Cap were my to favs from the golden age along with the early solo Batman issues. I wish every could experience buying a comic book from the drug store or grocery store back then.....I can remember thinking...what are they gonna do next....the wait was unbearable...and then the classic FF6...the most read comic book by me as kid was bought...the rest is history How about you?

Class act of seller, Congress..hope you find it soon

WOW...great copy

it is a shame when sellers think that the inconvience of returinng this book will act as a deterant to a refund. I wish you all the best, the book is one of my all time favorites. This book exploded many many years ago when Bob Overstreet featured it in the color section of the price guide.....hope you can get another copy....

Unlike SDCC or Wonder...the % of true comic book collectors are much higher, and proably the conversations much deeper....I hope the "Leader" gets back to form and can create some great posts in what remains in 2021...but look out for 2022....

The leader is KING when it comes to "Con" reports...I miss them

lets make that 2021...march

We could use a heck of a story.....looking forward to it

No chance

WOW...GREAT DETECTIVE WORK

Sig placement terrible...might wanna try to get a replacement...

Great books....any idea on price?

I will second that...

My understanding is they will not have as much fluff as usual, there will be some different interests, but comic books will the main focus, but nothing is perfect of the more comic dealers that sign up, the greater the presence.

Money.....whether it is cards...look at the price of a pokenman box of cards...200K, 400K...1 million, just buy what you like for the book and not just the investment return.

They look cool, great idea...

I can think of Mile High Comics prices...and number of other high priced dealers. You have a choice here, buy or not. Who is to judge whether GPA is right, double or triple....in the long run the prices have been catching up. I do not see the obligation for any dealer to price it at market price...as this rate we should be paying $600 in VF for action in the1970's. If you want to buy and risk having your purchase price non-recoverable so be it. Buy the book because you are true comic collector, not a widget buyer, and in the long run you should be ok.....

Get well soon and stay strong.

It is my understanding that the Nov convention dates will be NOV 19,20, and 21....which is two days shorter if you include preview night.....

As a long time attendee, since day 1 of SDCC and to have attended 99% of the shows. I have seen in horror as Dealers and comic Collectors have been placed and rearranged on the convention floor and forgotten by this convention as the grab for corporate money took priority. There have been board member after board member express frustration and in same cases claim they will never attend again. Well, as Bob Dylan said "the times they are a changing". I have GREAT NEWS......FOR US...the true comic book collector. There have been a number of GA/SA collectors who have complained about the SDCC and the treatment of the true comic book collectors by the convention both in terms of dealers and attendee's and respect for our history of this convention.. As I posted on the board a couple of weeks/months ago, SDCC in person for July was cancelled. That the next real SDCC will be in summer of 2022. With that in mind, SDCC is going to do an experiment on a "smaller" or Mini con with its focus on where it should be...comic books. Maybe they finally paid attention to the mini comic book con held in LA on the weekend before the by Terry. While we wish the best for everyone, it is clearly a breath of fresh air to bring this show back where it belongs...to the real comic books collectors who attended as and made this show. It's about time...your comments are welcome...

did you read this one...good story?, great cover
