Just grabbed this 9.6-9.8 Candidate with this Magnus 44, and also this Doctor Solar #31 which is also likely a 9.6-9.8 and a Savannah Pedigree.  Both still going to be pressed and will be out for grading soon.  Didn't really care to collect Solar Books after the final Gold Key one...but couldn't pass on these.

Nice books, congrats!

Scans are deceptive, but I wouldn’t hang my hat on that high a grade. Very nice though!

If you're getting them graded, let us know how they come back.  The upper left corners on each of these books look worrisome to me.

Will do.  I've bought from this source multiple times and the grades always came back exactly as expected except one I thought was a 9.4 came back as a 9.2 and another I thought was a 9.2 came as a 9.4. lol   They are going to be cleaned and pressed by Rocket Comics in CA. Hopefully I can find this thread again and I will share.  So I'd guess about 3-4 months from now.

Some finds in the wild plus a board thread here. Luke Cage is lower grade but the FF is a nice upgrade from my OO copy.

I remember my older brother grabbing that FF off the stands.  

This is right when I started at about 10 years old. I believe that my first issue was #171 but there may have been one in the late 160's.

Nova's only Cover Dated appearance in 1980 !  Some DB's  show FF214 as an app - but it's actually single panel cameo of some random nova corps members.

There are some interesting things like that with this run, for example Groot has a Humor Page in issue 8. Any sort of Groot appearance is pretty rare in those days.
