I love this book. I also have a ton, literally, of raw copies, including the second printing. There are/were some books that I purchased at my LCSs and newsstands like they were going out of style. ... Many did (at least at present).

My reason is, "These will be worth millions, millions. I'll be rich, rich. ... ... ... Maybe."

I loved the McFarlane ASM run so I picked the cover I loved most and bought multiple copies over the years never thinking they would be worth much.

I didn't pick up multiple copies, but even when getting back to collecting I was astonished by the same relative price as when it first hit status at the LCS.

2016-17 a cool $25 to $30 for a vf nice looking copy in store. As you know for these and similar, if you recognized the cover as "hit", you were still to pay about that much for a presentable "reader" (for this era VF)

I put it off just because those were the feelings I had and hadn't read it since being a kid. I eventually tokened out and bought one, after learning of grading. It sat for maybe 4-5 years and I slabbed it, sure enough 8.5!

It is odd that it feels like a history lesson of not so long ago being like 30+ years.

The other 2 covers I loved and was deciding between were the Mysterio (#311) & the Lizard (#313) so I guess I was lucky that I picked #316. Still hard to believe that it has gone up so much since I bought these.

Because the silver age Fantastic Four annuals are not reprinted in MCIC or MGC, I need reading copies and keepers.
