KirbyJack Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Nice bump! It's fun to think about the comics that were easy to buy back then. FF 52 could be found in every LCS in town. silverseeker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty wild to think about how affordable first appearance issues were "back in the day"...I was able to pick up a nice raw VF- (7.5) copy of FF #52 for $120 back in late 2001... Granted that was 20(!) years ago, but still... Math Teacher and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supapimp Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Thanks. My pet peeve is color breaking corner creases. I too think the older slab is better. But the newer slab has razor sharp corners and white pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HistoryBuffalo Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Just added this copy after doing a bit of research! Not the best copy in the world but I think it has tremendous eye appeal and the historical value has always been off the charts for me in regards to this issue! Even better is that this is a UK pence copy, which according to my math, account for just 1.4% of all graded copies in the CGC census! So many neat factors with this issue!

However, with the prices that this book has gone up to and the importance of the character of Black Panther, with the additional coolness and rarity of this as a pence copy, I feel like it was a really sweet snag and is still a book that is tremendously undervalued!

Straw-Man Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 don't mean to be blasphemous, but as a kid, gettin' 'em off the spinner month-to-month, this book, following on the heels of the trilogy and the fabulous stand-alone 51, was somewhat of a nothing-burger to me and my ff-collecting pals.

I didn’t get to read it as a kid. I was a certified fan in my twenties when I first read this one, and I often read several FFs at a time. It all felt to me like one big, wonderful, continuous story from issue to issue. Morganmi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can verify it wasn't a big deal even in the first half of the 1970s. I paid a 25 percent premium for FF #52 over what I paid for FF #43 & FF 44 in about the same lower grade condition but it was only 10x cover price. supapimp, KirbyJack, mec3437 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AndrewCup Posted April 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2022 I bought this as a raw in 1997 at the Philly Wizard show. Glad that I did, because I passed on some others that I should have bought. Oh how I wish that I bought the many FF 1's that were available - no one was very interested either. I am so happy with the way this 52 presents. Math Teacher, KirbyJack, silverseeker and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
