I guess this is suppose to be the finest example around according to Pedigree due to having the whitest cover of all copies, but still come on 100% increase since the last sale according to GPA records!!

Amazing that someone paid this much for this book, is this issue worth $17k ?

I'm not sure about that, look at the current bid on a 9.8~ $36,000...not too shabby.

This 7.0 is up for auction, is this a worthy 7.0? I'm asking because I'm a noob when it comes to AF 15's, thanks!

This is obviously a fake sale right? Why would anyone want to take the time to fake a sale like this, what's the gain?

9.8 around 20-22K? Seems a bit low. Maybe possible for OW/W pages only. Current Heritage Auction with 16 days left: https://comics.ha.com/itm/bronze-age-1970-1979-/the-incredible-hulk-181-marvel-1974-cgc-nm-mt-98-white-pages/a/7192-91069.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515

Well it seems for the amount of money to get FF 48 9.8 or ST 110 9.4 it would be better spent on a mid-grade AF 15 (especially since I don't own a copy and I have been a Spidey fanboy since my teens and way more than SS and Dr. Strange combined). I guess I just got caught up on those other two books being so high-graded, so I think probably good idea to take a look at some deals on AF 15 or X-Men 1 and get those Keys first but either way thanks for all your inputs ??

Honestly if channeling my inner 12yr old and based on just cool factor.....I want AF15 and X-men1...but very $$$ for the grades I want.

My first post, but have been collecting for a while. And yes, I am having hard time deciding between the two books since they are relative close in terms of price and both are key issues in regards to SS and Dr. Strange. Also I believe this board has much more experience and insights in comics vs me lonesome so I thought would be a good idea to get other enthusiasts' honest opinions.

I do agree not having Surfer or Galactus or Strange on any of these book's cover does have some effects on the value or the book's potential. Look at AF15 or even IH181 both have a Great cover that's has the introduction of the character front and center. Speaking of AF15 as the better overall buy, then to compare apples to apples in terms of price a FF48 CGC 9.8 is around an AF15 CGC 5 to 5.5. So at that graded level AF15 is still a better buy vs FF48 CGC 9.8??

Hi all, new this board. FF 48 CGC 9.8 vs Strange Tales 110 CGC 9.4 So I really want both books but pockets dictate only one to choose so which is a better silver age key to buy and hold for 5+years. I really want to hold it for the long run so short term price fluctuations is not that important compared to a better investment in the long run. Thanks in advance!
