Wow that is a really bad comic. I think I may actually bid on it and crack it out of the slab to read. What do you guys think $25? I mean hey it is signed by Stan "the man" Lee right.

I'm betting it will take several hundred to actually win. .5 or not, it's Stan's copy of the first doom...

 

Even raw unsigned I bet you could get $75 for it on eBay.

I guess ol' Stan liked that issue...

Now I have to wonder who did that "restoration". The article says:

 

"How did this get in the mix? Petty said that, while collectors might wonder why Lee would put this issue up for sale, the answer was simple. “Stan said, ‘Here’s my comics. Take them.’ "

 

So it sounds like the books went from Stan to petty to CGC to the upcoming auction. So the restoration must have been done when still owned by Stan? Or maybe - by Stan? The mind boggles!

 

PS - I think this is a really fun thing and historically, an interesting book.

Stan has stated that many of these books were purchased or found second-hand and even he doesn't know which are originals or not.

Heck I'll probably put in a bid on it... It would fit right in with my Hulk 1...

 

In fact, I might get my Hulk 1 slabbed just so Steve has a chance to officially grade something worse than this FF 5...

Can you scan it?

I for one dont believe that ANY of the Stan Lees collection books were ever seen OR handled by Stan. He has consistently stated that he never kept any of his comics.....but wished he had. Suddenly he is able to find box after box and sell them for 20 times what they are worth???

I've posted it before... it usually leads greggy to start clawing out his own eyes...
