Because of who Jon is, he lets people handle the books raw if they want to and I did take the Fantastic 3 out of the mylar. My prior comment was that the book was 9.4/9.6 so the grade is consistent with what I saw. It's a spectacular book in person and I'm extremely grateful I was able to see it before it was sealed.

No matter, it is beautiful and it will surely shatter the Suspense 3 price. Looks like there have been quite a few 9.4's and 9.6's added into the census population reports for the Fox books. Yet at the same time, some of them are still absent of any books in the 9's grade condition range. For example, only a CGC 4.5 shows up for Mystery Men 1 while a CGC 9.6 shows up for Mystery Men 31. So, maybe not all of the have been posted yet or some of the Church Fox books are not into the nosebleed uber high grade condition range that we were all hoping for.

It's very likely there are a few other duplicates but unlikely both of them to be as high grade and valuable as MM 3. What a great pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telerites Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The gloss on the Fantastic 3 is stunning. This cover and National 7 were the two that I fell in love with when I discovered Lou Fine along with his Ray and Black Condor stories reprinted by Alan Light. I wish I had the foresight back then to buy copies of these books back then. Some other covers like Wonderworld 4 and Hit 5 were a couple of others. Oh yeah, I didn't have any money - glad there was a reason But at least I have managed to acquire National 7, Wonderworld 4, and Hit 5 but the Fantastic 3 will likely forever elude me - too few of them and my wallet is too lean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Action 1 is a pretty big book after all, and certainly more than enough for most collectors to handle on its own.
