    Lucky devil! - A nice pick up.

    I missed this comic. Was speaking to the lady at WW Comics sorting quote on the shipping cost. Then when I went to complete my cart an hour later it had gone :-( 

    Glad it went to someone on these boards.

    Lesson learned. I will be quicker on the draw next time ;-)

    Only a 3.5? Looks nice! Welcome back to comics! 

    Thanks Not a Clone.

    Yep it's lovely, it's a 3.5 at best as it has a few issues/creases at the bottom. It's the first pickup in my mission to get a nice little early FF run together. Bagged the #3 and just picked up #2 this week as well, both RAW. 

    Around 6 years or so ago, I did my Spider-man run, Hulk etc and secured up most of the key early 60s Marvel keys and number 1s in CGC mid grades. But to be honest that's what turned me off for a while as I got bored of looking at these incredible comics though a holder. It's like having a Ferrari in your garage. Wonderful, but after staring at it through a glass wall you want to drive the thing and get the full experience. - I could crack the slabs but I'm not brave enough to crack my FF1, AF15, Hulk 1 etc.

    When I got this FF #3 the thrill of (carefully) handling it, smelling it and actually reading the damn thing - adverts and all - was a simply lovely experience. One that I don't get when a slab arrives.

    So this time round I have set myself a little rule of 'Under a Grand it's Raw'. If it's over Grand then It will need to be in a slab for the restoration checks etc.

    But rules are meant to be broken ;-)

    Thanks oakman29. It's taken me a year to put this together. For some reason I found it more difficult than I thought when I set out.

     

    Started with number 1 which my buddies said I paid over the odds for last August. But since then the book has gone mega so I am glad I got it when I did.

     

    I think the 4 will get upgraded soon, if I can find another.

     

    Now I need to do My FF thing. Im going for 1-10....

    Well, I hope I am not jinxing anything but pending approval of a back cover scan and a little thing called payment I will be the proud owner of this little puppy. I have wanted this book for about 25 years! Many thanks to Bunky Brian!!

    That's gotta be the nicest book for the grade I have seen. (thumbs u
