area to the left of 52 looks more like color loss to me and fading could be caused by a number of things. book looks 7.5-8 to me
-
beautiful book.obvious weakness is the warping, the staple and the tiny piece off the cover bottom left. 7/7.5
-
usually i'm less strict but that paper loss on the ad page keeps this under 9 pressed or not. 8.5
-
grades in and i suspect i don't make the grade.

I had a sgt fury 2 with chipping all down the side. otherwise a beautiful book. GCG gave me an 8. So i don't know how heavy its weighed. I think this is 5/5.5.

Thanks for being the first person to offer a grade. And I forgot to show the back page
you're welcome and i only went 6-6.5 because of the questions surrounding restoration. I had a 7 in 7.0 with a sealed tear on the FC of a few inches. It def did't look as good as your #3. If this is unrestored i can see 7.5-8. However the way prices are today the price you paid kinda indicates some restoration. What you paid was more like a 2005 price which never happens today.

must mean this one
of course 2 items below an 8.5 SS went for $4272.
just noticed on that listing-

getting past restoration questions, which is what the thread has been so far,i'll go 6.0 maybe 6.5. Inside is flat out white.

The books are put together mechanically. Its solid technology but not perfect. Take 50 copies of a single issue and you'll notice the variations.
One of the most obvious issue with a recurring flaw is FF 24. Purple /black wavey ink across the top border on a bunch of them. Look at the issues on EBAY.

3.5-4. Really doesn't look as bad as other books in that grade. bottom front beat up but the other sides pretty nice for the grade.
-
4.0. best thing i can say for the book is it still has good color.

GPA shows an FF 48 CGC 8.5 SS (Stan sig) sold for $9,200.00
That can't possibly be real can it?
Where was that sold? I can't find it on ebay or Ha.

So I have question for all you FF buffs.
I was at a small comic show over the weekend and there was a lot of buzz and talk about FF #1 and a number of FF books in general. Although a key book, most people don't talk too much about FF #1. So my question is ... What happened to cause such a stir and demand for FF#1? One dealer at the show had a 3.0 for $6000 Canadian and said that the demand for this book is only going to go up.
Thanks.
If i'm not mistaken AF 15 is more expensive. Its a title should belong to FF1 as the start of the Marvel universe.

This will have to do for me...
Well thats a really pretty 5.5.
-
9.2-9.4.
-
I think an easy 7.0. Presents really nicely for a difficult issue.
-
I can't get above 2.5 because the pages ,if not yet brittle, look like they soon will be.

lucky 13! this is one i'm good not to upgrade, as the ped is worth the .5 [and more] to me.
one of the toughest covers to find in high grade. This is gorgeous. I guess its the gray background makes it look washed out to start with.

If it's a 5.0 which it may come back as it's worth like 175.00 So why not slab it. I think that it's about the cut-off for slabbing. Everyone has a different price point on slabbing. At what price level do u consider certifying ? What say ye fellow board members ?
If i can sell a book on EBAY for $20 raw and i believe the book is say 9.6 or 9.8, and can get 80 or more slabbed then i'll slab it. I didn't hold onto a book for 30 years unread to give it away . Now my case might be different because i have a great many books that fit that. criteria.

in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?

clearly the cover is off center which makes it looked trimmed. i don't think that claim can be made without book in hand. heres a graded copy fom ebay.https://www.ebay.com/itm/1961-MARVEL-FANTASTIC-FOUR-1-1ST-APPEARANCE-amp-ORIGIN-FANTASTIC-4-CGC-4-5-CR-OW-/163444407623?hash=item260e0bbd47%3Ag%3A4h8AAOSwOrpbykDq&nma=true&si=fNnPk3FzRg%2FDzKGrVNfHff88yRg%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
the area behind Mr Fantastics arm has almost the same amount of art as this copy. If i were to be worried about restoration then i would be concerned with the coloring of the cover which looks younger than the interior. 6? if its not restored in any way then ....wow.
