Curator FF's!

[blazingbob]

I heard these were token bids so that the auction house would know that you are still a "playa".

 

 

[DrWatson]

Please, this is Tim you're talking about. Silver Age Marvels are so passé.

[blazingbob]

True, to Tim this is like getting a speed bar Tequila instead of top shelf

Do you need a Detective #33?

 

I changed my mind, I hope London Sux...

[burntboy]

Shouldn't you be collecting the DC equivalent of FF's? I'm sure there is a great run of Challengers of the Unknown out there.

 

On a roll tonight, are we??

I don't want to disparage these books but I went to the preview today and saw several of these early FFs in hand and all I'll say is, if you're thinking of spending serious money on these books, it would behoove you to either see them in person or have someone see them for you before bidding.

So, which ones are you wanting?

 

I'm not after any of them, but the FF #5 is exceptional in person, save for a few flaws.

 

I'll need to see the Detective 35 in person before I place a bid on it.

He did it so he can keep getting the catalogs.

Plus, I like to make Marvel collectors suffer.

Damn, I`m like an open book to you people.

[supapimp]

pacific coast for me!

[blazingbob]

The curator's should be used to demonstrate what white pages look like.

 

Spokane's also

I like FF 5 and FF 10 the best, outstanding books.

I still can't stop staring at the #52. Perhaps the sharpest, black back ground, 9.8 I have ever seen.

take a picture, it'll last longer.

It appears to be a mixed bag, not surprisingly. There are issues that to me seem overgraded, including the #2 that got a 9.4 with rusted staples, the #13 (a 9.4) with color breaking wear along the spine beneath the lower staple, the #18 (a 9.4) with several pre-chips along the right edge, and the #39 (a 9.4) with a significant color breaking corner crease. The #12 got a 9.6 with two impacted staples, as did the #29. The #10 (9.6) has an impacted lower staple. I'm left wondering whether these issues with impacted staples and vertical stress lines near the staples (there are even more examples) were damaged during pressing.

 

Then there are the stunning issues like #s 5, 15, 25, 31, 41, 47 and 52 that blow away other copies I've seen in person or from scans.

No love for the #4? That banana yellow cover is

Colors are extraordinary. Shame about the impacted top staple.

the staples are pushed in too on the FF 52.
