    After seeing all the awesome FF books in this thread, I thought I'd fish a few of mine out to share... At one point I was trying to put together a run of FF #1-60, but have only been able to get #8 and #20-60...with so many low numbers missing I decided to shift my focus to other runs I'm closer to completing, and enjoy the FFs I have. Here's my copy of FF #25 that I bought from @MrBedrock back in 2016...it was graded CGC 8.0, and I cracked out so I could read it. While I love this book, I thought Roussos's inks were not as good as some of Kirby's other inkers... Oh yeah, and I need to learn to take better photos!

    I can kick off the team-up issues... I remember reading a reprint of this story in one of the DC 100-pagers in the '70s, and really wanted to get a copy of this book for that reason. For some reason it's a tough book to find in decent grade (it took me 18 years to find this copy), and I love the color combination of green, purple, red and yellow on the cover...

    I inquired about that book when I saw it on their IG...nice upgrade!

    Just scored this book from @Superworld...thanks Ted! The first thing I noticed when I opened it was how white the pages are...not sure if this photo does them justice. Crazy to see this in a 60-year-old book, especially an early DC!

    Great album!

    Like @Terry E. Gibbs said, never say never and stick with the hunt...it took me 18 years to find this copy, which I picked it up from Graham Crackers back in 2018 at Wondercon...don't think I saw a copy this nice before then.

    Agreed...

    Put me in the 3.0, with a shot at 3.5 camp as well...
  12. silverseeker
    7.0

    6.0 for me as well...nice book!

    As it is, 3.0/3.5 (I'm having a hard time deciding between the two but am leaning toward the lower grade because of the severity of that bend)...if the book can be pressed I can see it bumping up to 4.0. I would look into getting it pressed just to get rid of that heavy bend.

    My Spidey-Sense is telling me that auction is not going to end well for the buyer...

    The artwork is indeed amazing...I think Kirby's work on JIM is some of his best.

    I just received this book I won in an auction at the end of last year...was a CGC 7.0 that I cracked out to read. I'm bummed that the story inside doesn't match the epic cover...Thor fights some guy named Thug Thatcher and his goons...

    That's pretty cool!

    What's your story @ADAMANTIUM? You've piqued my interest...

    Last book I won in an auction at the end of last year...cracked out CGC 7.0. One of my favorite JIM covers...took me a while to find a nice mid-grade copy without chipping.

    I was just thinking the same thing...if the Incredibles movies can do well, I suspect an FF movie with a great -script and the right cast could also do well.

    Another recent pickup...books that I won in a few auctions at the end of last year are rolling in. Cracked out CGC 8.0...
  24. silverseeker
    Agreed...

    Looks normal to me too...as @grendelbo stated, it just looks like a sloppy inner well seal.
