Thanks so much! The white cover and the centering make this the nicest 8.0 I've ever seen. There is a visible crease in the lower right corner, and there are a few tiny stains on the back. Overall a beautiful copy. Here is my 7.0 undercopy -- it's OW/W not WP: I haven't decided whether to sell it now or wait a little longer, as I suspect we haven't yet seen all of the potential rise in value for the FF's upcoming intro to the MCU.

Drummy Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Wow, congrats on that copy -- it's superb. I was watching that one and the X-Men #1 in 8.0 wp in this auction...I knew I couldn't afford either, but both were mesmerizing to behold. I love me some bright color on a 1961 book!

Popular Post comic_memories Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2022 I got this in a trade around 1973/4 along with a bunch of silver age Marvels for a stack of newer books. At the time I had no idea they had any value I just wanted to complete my collection; condition wasn't important either. I was about 10 years old.

Dark Knight Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 On 11/19/2022 at 5:02 AM, Sweet Lou 14 said: People complained specifically about the scans for this book? I've been buying from Heritage for years -- and while I agree their scans show books in their best possible light, I've never felt like I was outright deceived by one of their scans. No not about this book, but a few books that were won in the past. I dunno maybe Heritage has gotten better displaying the books naturally with their scanning, but I've read that a few complained that they have tweaked it to look better. I think I had just one experience, but it wasn't anything major with the back cover when I received the book in hand. It was suttle that I just let it be.

Professor K Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Something you don't see often. A 2.0 outsold a 3.0 in the same auction. I could almost hear the 2.0 shouting "Yo Adrian, I did it!".

The 3.0 isn't badly over graded, but with the chipping and creasing it's not the most presentable copy. The 2.0, at least from the FC, looks undergraded. I would be really happy with that 2.0.

Definitely does. NReal nice 2.0 and a 3.0 with serious chipping. I was still a little surprised the 2.0 went higher. KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post woowoo Posted January 20 Popular Post Share Posted January 20 I had a good friend back in the early 80's who said he saw Fantastic Four 1 in Leave it to beaver. I looked for years never did I see this and today I found it on the 1985 Leave it to Beaver. At 10.00 there is more. At 12.40 its mint. grendelbo, silverseeker, Batmanis#1 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago I would much rather have your copy, Grendel. I can’t believe CGC even graded that comic. Maybe it isn’t as fragile as it looks. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
