I'll jump in with an entry from the Iron Man era.

This is an absolutely gorgeous set you've assembled. I'm sure it has been a fun process. I love this GOOM! cover.

Thanks man! Was a 15+ year focus of mine.

This one my favorite of the later issues

[Silver Surfer]

Hasn’t this issue always been referred to as a Dr. Doom prototype? I check the release date of FF#5 and it’s the same as this issue, 7/62.

Yeah it was. I guess Kirby could have drawn it an hour or two earlier than FF5? That was just how he was drawing metal masks that month. Back in the boomin' 90s/00s, all you needed to do to sell a book was give us something distinctive about the issue. A lot of the prototype-hype was pretty thin.

I didn't know how tough it would be to secure some of these earlier TOS issues in higher grades, but I guess with Iron Man's popularity that should be expected.

It ain't that high, but a nice copy in today's mail from @WesW.
