Love that cover.

Right there with you, and apparently the market agrees as well. A 5.5 copy sold for $4,650 on ComicLink two nights ago. Sure is getting expensive to collect MLJs these days!

Thanks guys, I'm very happy with the results.  Amazing-Man #5 is ending in 34 minutes. 

Very tough book. Should rocket to the moon!

Just back from CGC 

 Love it!! I'm happiest buying nice mid grade copies of the books I'm after, but I'd take a big stack of 1.5's that look that nice. Congrats!

A favorite!

So the FF 12, ASM 1 and Strange Tales 106 look to be the very first SA Marvel superhero crossover books. The FF were awfully busy that month!

Thor V Hulk!

Congrats to @TheGeneral on the win! Very nicely played final round. 

Grades in. Good luck all!

Big thanks to Mike for all the hard work to make this happen. It’s my first time in a grading contest and I had a lot of fun, especially the reveals. Good luck to those left for the tie breakers!

I guess.

Looking at that book, with its two nasty corners, get an 8.5 reminds me of my ASM 6 resubmitted 9.0 that got a 7.5 because the back cover lost a tiny, tiny piece.

I think VF is a stretch for that book, and 8.5 was an absolute gift.

I disagree. If you've never had a raw Church book in hand, you're at a disadvantage. They are simply extraordinary for all the elements that make up the grade, particularly for the era the collection is from. That's really the tough part of this contest though...we're all grading scans and they're grading raw copies.

Take FF 25 VG and Sgt Fury 5 VG at 10% off.
