Anybody saw the CRAZY price on the Fantastic Four 50 CGC 8.5 on Heritage? Must be a happy seller...

Yes, but I actually thought is sale was a little strange. Granted I hope the sales go up (I own a 9.0) and this sale was real, only explanation I have for this sale is a celebrity who wants to be anonymous.  I'm cautious of market manipulation as well.  There is a same grade and PQ on ebay for $7,500 (thought that was a little high) and a 9.0 (granted o/w) for $6k.  The heritage sale plus tax is about $8k as mentioned.  It just doesn't make sense unless they didn't see ebay (would seem strange) or didn't like that copy.  I will feel better if the upcoming c link 8.5 WP goes for about same price or higher.  Have just seen too many weird sales, FF48 9.2 ping pong a little but x-men 129 9.8 all over the place and GSX1 nuts.

In my book, this is the greatest run in comic book history. Stan may have been a bit premature in his claims, but it really was The Greatest Comic Magazine In The World

This is true.  I came to Marvel comics via Spider-man, like most kids, but soon became fascinated by the FF.   Great big space and science fiction operatic concepts being constantly introduced month after month.  The personal stories never felt as real or compelling as they did in Spider-man or in frankly most of the other titles, but the big ideas few fast and furious.

There were so many High Concept ideas in the early FF and so many of them sounded like they made sense scientifically that I gave them a pass for the ones that sounded really stupid.  But even among those I have some fond memories and genuine affection.  My favorite in the so-stupid-you-gotta-love-it-anyway category was that Reed Richards had actually created a device called, iirc, the encephalo-gun, which enabled two guys to go brain-to-brain in a contest in which the bigger brain would supposedly destroy the other guy, but actually (SPOILER ALERT) enabled the bigger brain to create an illusion in the mind of the guy with the weaker brain.   When I read that as a kid in the single digits I knew even then it was a really strange thing for Reed to have built and absurdly convenient that it was laying around when he needed it. But I still loved watching it happen.
