Need Some Advice Regarding Fantastic Four #6 2 2

[Math Teacher]

I purchased a raw copy of FF #6 many years ago. When I sent it to CGC, it came back with restoration (small amount of glue on cover). I sent it to CSS, and they promptly sent it back, declining to do any restoration removal. Unfortunately, they decided to press it, despite my note of "DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE TO THIS ISSUE IF THE RESTORATION CANNOT BE REMOVED." It is now a raw book, as the case was removed by CSS.

So I want to get a replacement copy, somewhere 2.5 - 4.0, as that is all I can afford at the moment. Do you foresee that FF #6 will continue to rise in value? If so, I need to buy a copy soon. If not, I can wait for awhile in hope that prices return to earth.

Really interested in hearing your opinion. Thanks!

Yes, FF6 still has room for growth and will continue to rise. 

That being said, if your copy presents well, you could always keep it and pursue something else entirely. Choices, choices...

FWIW, I would expect FF #6 to continue increasing in value.  This is one I would try to lock up now if it were on my want list.

Yes, still room to grow. I still am hedging bets on MCU Submariner joining Dr. Doom in a Super Villain Team-Up and then Subby turns semi-moral and turns on Doom.

I agree with others... 

And November - Christmas generally are a slow time for comic book sales.  If you find an opportunity, I would move on it!

I’m in the yes camp too. First team-up/meeting of Doom and Subby, so much MCU potential for both. They are perennially important characters tied to each other, and as long as comics are published, writers will likely maintain their perennial importance in whatever constitutes the Marvel print/digital universe of sequential art publications too. Barring an upgrade, my copy goes nowhere ‘til it’s all over for me.

Seems like you believe this book should be part of your personal collection, and that an unrestored copy is what you prefer for that collection.  It's impossible to know the future, so waiting is gambling.  If you're not a gambler, go get 'em, Tiger!

My ultimate goal is to get FF #1 - #20, ASM #1 - #20, and DD #1 - #10 in slabs. I already have Avengers #1 - #16 and X-Men #1 - #16 in slabs.

For the FF, I am missing issues #6, #11, #13 (at CGC), #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, and #20.
For ASM, I am missing issues #12 (at CGC), #16 (at CGC), and #19.
For DD, I am missing issues #3, #5, #6, and #8 - #10.

I know that this issue is going to cost a lot of money, but, based on everyone's input, it is projected to become more and more expensive. Decisions, decisions, ....

Just for clarification, I actually own all the issues above. The books I listed are books that I need to get slabbed.

There's a very nice FF #6 in 9.4 on the CL Exchange for only $57,000.

 As someone who would consider being in the market for such a book, I couldn't justify that price.

There are a bunch of early Silver Age books in high grade on CL with very, very high pricing, probably all from the same seller.  I guess you never know who might stumble across that site with more money than sense.
