It's sitting just above this one but in red and I'm betting only I can see it. Looks like they have a new censor installed that prevents people from naming the competition until the mods approve the post. Personally, I think it's silly that you can't name them.

I sought The Grail. Fantastic Four #1. I found a copy at Motor City's gigantic booth, but it was high grade and way beyond my means. I almost walked away, but instead sheepishly asked to see it. As the guy grabbed it, I could see that it was not one copy, but a stack of FF 1s! I went thru them slowly, highest grade to lowest, and at the very bottom was a copy at $240. Mine! What's my point? That was the most excited I ever got about a comic book, and it was the worst of seven copies!

It was my 1st trip to Heroes Con, probably the summer of '92, and I was at their booth and asked to see their Hulk #1. The guy said, "Which one?" and handed me a stack of them. I freaked out! They were all still too expensive for me (or so I thought), so I didn't pick one up but it was pretty cool to hold like a dozen copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For several early 60s Marvels, there were unused and uncut covers. Some were hand-trimmed and married to interiors. Since they were never circulated onto the newsstand, many of the covers are spectacular examples completely free of dirt or smudges and sporting brilliant cover inks. Here's an example I used to own. The store owner I bought it from trimmed the cover and stapled it to an interior. Edited July 23, 2017 by namisgr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namisgr Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) That Hulk #1 married cover has the same look of being never circulated. I bet it's the same copy that Mark Wilson's old company World's Finest Comics sold as part of a Hulk #1-6 'file copy cover' set back in the nineties.
