just found out this'un is comin' back 9.2, white!   very happy my ol' raw book cuts the "9-sumpin'" muster for the subby cover collection.

For some reason #73 was one of the toughest in the run for me to track down.  Those split covers didn't always work well, and Marvel soon abandoned them, but I think that image of Subby at the bottom is an overlooked little gem.  The CGC label on my copy says it's a Kirby cover, but I think that's only the top piece.  No doubt in my mind that piece at the bottom is Gene Colan's.

The Watcher on this cover looks a little like YOUR FACE!

Tales to Astonish 73 was one of those books when I was hunting that the highest grade at the time was only a 9.4

Think there was only one copy in 9.4 when I picked up this Boston copy

Very interesting ... there are now 10 9.4s and 5 9.6s, but I have not seen a 9.4 for sale.  I had to settle for one of those five.

I'm not even a little bit understanding the connection, but bravo on this post nonetheless.

I guess my text was omitted. 
I was thinking 🤔 Tony Curtis would have been a  good candidate for the Jack Kirby version of Sub-Mariner and Jack Lemon could have pulled off Tony stark as he was very much like RJD in his abilities for physical, comedic and dramatic acting. A younger Tony Curtis had that nice eyebrow thing happening that Namor has. Also they both had established chemistry from doing Some Like it Hot together and Iron-Man Sub-Mariner 1 is a great book to have.
