NEW POLL - Fantastic Four # 1

[burntboy]

I haven't run a Poll on an early marvel SA Key in a while and felt it was about time again. here's the copy i pulled off the rack at sid's Lucheonette in the late summer of 1961. i was just about to enter High School;

Sweet book (show off!)

[evilsly]

Lovely book.

 

I was just looking at your link to the collection yesterday and wondering what had happened the mega keys from the range and whether you'd been unlucky enough to begin collecting at issue 2

 

 

[grandz-migration]

Very nice. I'm impressed that you kept it in this nice shape for so many years.

 

I see I'm in the majority on this one.

Calling this a 7.0,

 

now whoever called it a 4.5, please start a selling thread with your 4.5s that look like this

[topofthetotem]

I called it a 6.5 I think just to much corner wear for a 7.0.

[JohnT]

I said 6.0, assuming that's a full-fledged crease LRC. If it isn't, I'd say 7.0.

[marvelcollector]

I went with 6.5, but could see it being a 7.0....

[evilsly]

I went 6.5 too on this

 

 

[trmoore54]

I went with 6.5...I believe a 7.0 is possible (top half of book = 7.5/8.0...bottom half of book = 6.0)

Very SWEEEEEEET copy...wish I coulda been there with ya in 61...

 

You paid 40-cents less for yours than mine...I got mine (3.5 range) out of a fanzine ad in 1971 for 50-cents...

 

HNY!

I went with a 7.0 --- meaning that I think this is what it would get from CGC with the obligatory super-key SA bump. Technically, it's probably more like a 6.0, due to the spine creases.

 

Absolutely beautiful, and an OO copy, no less!

[Dick Pontoon]

I hit 7.5, since I've been undergrading all of Nik's. I could see a 7.0, but figured it looks a wee bit too nice.

 

Beautiful copy! How many times did you read your books?

[djpinkpanther67]

I called it a 7.5 as well

i must have read this one quite a bit as the following issues were almost all in better shape. except the 12 and 13 which i must have gone camping with.............

[Mr.Silvestri]

when will the grade be revealed??

[burntboy]

when will the grade be revealed??

 

Yes, in due time - there's a method to my madness............

[gernblanston]

went with the 7.0....very nice

[pennynike1]

I went with a 7.5, but I might have been a little over generous due to my love for the issue

[Aces]

Wow!

 

Looks like I'm in the big 6.5 camp.
