Mid Grade apparently but it "presents like a champion". Huh ?

A lot of MM 1s have printer creases on the cover (particularly front) and interior creasing near the centerfold

Starting to think this thread alone belies the rarity of newsstands. 
 

Not many are actually looking/seeking them.. but yes they’re rare

I have always loved this title. About 5 years ago I decided I needed to get as many of these as I could before the prices took off. Glad I did. Picked this one up in the last year, have always liked this cover.

I always like that cover also. The oversized sword is funny/cute in a good way

There is nothing better than getting a whole pile of Kirby FFs in one shot! 
Envious.

Agreed and to think no one wanted these years ago is crazy..the guy who sold them to me told me these were originally purchased by his uncle in the 60s

I recently purchased this book from a user on Instagram. It was sold to me as a 3.5, but I believe it may earn a higher grade if I decide to slab it.

I shoulda held onto mine

I’ve been buying those Thor Galactus issues for a while. Good investments

This is why I don’t have a copy. Only interested in a nice high grade copy. Even low grade copies are expensive. 122 is undervalued compared to 121

Maybe I missed this earlier…

”The Order” #8 by Fraction/Kitson

First Zeke Stane, rumored villain in Ironheart D+ series. Son of Obadiah Stane

You literally cannot throw or give a comic book away any more…every book ever will eventually become marginally relevant 

That one heated up a while back. Will probably heat up more

I usually think of his DC work on NTT

Avengers 1 1998 is what I think of … nothing says GP more than that wraparound cover

Some serious newsstand heat in this thread today. Probably the best I’ve seen posted in one day by diff users

Exactly. And the guy who knew nothing about comic books was so nice when we chatted. Facebook saw Detroit or whatever, hood, African American guy in his late20's/30s ish with old comic books and the replies followed. I messaged him, we had a good chat per say, and everything fell in place. I even helped him get Paypal verified, verified receipt of shipment so his money was released by Paypal and then i bought everything else he still had....duplicates of the 47,48,57,54,55 ect ect ... its funny how a little chat, human interaction, with someone so far away, judged by others, turned out good for everyone...and NO i didnt pay $5 a book!!! He got plenty of funds...$1000's of dollars

I wish people were as nice and kind as you.. one can dream

can something like this press out?

Doubtful

Anyone else think Book of Boba Fett blows

Family Tree 1 .. Darth Vader 1 2015 also but I really hate modern SW comics

So it's a Perez wave, not a Deathlok wave 

Yes

It always did, no? Or did it increase more recently for a reason I don't know?

Even more so now in all conditions .. there’s a big wave of Perez buying

Forgetting Scott Lang's 1st app, the cover is a All-time Stone Classic and depending on the beholder the nicest rendered Avengers cover in existence.   George drew hundreds of excellent covers but Avengers 181 for many like myself is #1. Nothings say George Perez Avengers more than that cover.  

Agreed. I always loved that cover
