Hey, Somebody named kingofrulers bought a FF #1 on ebay last night!

[CatskillMike]

Hmmm. Who could that be?

 

Congrats are in order.

[Point Five]

Congrats, King!

 

[KingOfRulers]

Thanks for congratulating me on this purchase catskillmike and pointfive! I've never owned an FF #1 before. Looked like a solid copy for the price. Looks like a classic 1.8, with off-chance at 2.0 in my opinion (really off-chance; probably 1.8). But heck, I think slabbed 1.0's have been in the $400 range. I'll certainly take this one! I was VERY suprised nobody bid on it.

Well done!

Good Job , nice copy.

Sweet! Now be sure to read it before you lock it away.

[KingOfRulers]

Yeah, 1.8

 

I am hoping if I put it in a tight comic book for a while that I can PRESS those large creases out. That's right--PRESS them out. I said, PRESS them out.

When I was single with no kids and no mortgage , I almost had a nice copy for a few hundered , now I settled for a f-vf copy of the 1966 record reprint recently for $50. Most people who see it think its the original and I just go with it . .

Congrats on the JLA 1 too!

 

Oh, and make sure to get out the paper cutter to clean up the trimming after you press it!

 

congrats!

[SignatureSelect]

that book needs a good was and press. It is relatively nice. It has the potential to be beautiful without CT or trimming. Nice buy King

[Mr. Spider-Woman]

Congrats on the book. I wonder if I will ever add one to my collection...

[marvelcollector]

Congratulations on the purchase!

 

Now that you have the cornerstone, you can get the rest...if you don't already.

Man that is one ugly book in a beautiful kind of way!

 

Congrats King.

[Darrell F]

Congrats King

[KingOfRulers]

Thanks guys! I don't plan on doing any resto for the book. The farthest I'll go is sticking it in a tight comic box. And, thanks to orbitentertainmnt for the congrats on the JLA #1. I am officially broke now.

[Aces]

Congrats!

 

I would say 1.5 but you got a fair price!

Looks to me like the three open edges of that book were trimmed with a pair of scissors...just so you know what you're getting into (from reading the auction, I'm guessing there's a no return policy in force).

I thought the right hand edge looked trimmed...still, to get a huge key like this, trimmed or not, isn't a bad thing.

[KingOfRulers]

You guys might be right on the trimming. Not a big deal considering it is already low grade though. To me it looks like the top and right edge are possibly trimmed. I don't see any reason to suspect the bottom edge though, other than because the other two edges look to have been trimmed.
