To this day, it still bothers me that The Thing is no longer the strongest man-like creature on the face of the earth.

but he remains the ugliest!

Never seen that before!  I wonder how the copyright issues on that would work.  I know that Marvel featured parodies of DC heroes in Not Brand Ecch, which are a little different, but these look like straight-up representations of Spidey and the FF.

This must have been back in the day when Marvel/DC crossovers remained realistic possibilities (there was even an issue or two?), an almost friendly and mutually respectful rivalry that was palpable.  Hopefully someone knows more about that and could elaborate on whether a cross-over flic (TV or big screen) was ever really possible.  The good old days!

Just received this CGC 9.0 from Comiclink and not much difference in grade with my raw copy but this one has full CCA stamp and issue number square though which is why I bought it.

Now I must decide which one I will keep and which one I will re-sell

Does that have anything to do with the fact that you own maybe the best copy in the world?

Ummm.  These are not straw man books. He buys the top copies at great expense. What about you Kirby? I know you have all the books but not graded. Don’t you want to KNOW?  The prices getting so high maybe I can only buy one a year. It’s crazy

I do know.
Not the CGC grade, of course; but I don’t consider them to be the only opinion that matters. I’ve been grading comics for a while, too, y’know.

You have a 5.0 collection from what I’ve seen. Hmm maybe that’s too harsh let’s say 6.0. I’ll be lucky to duplicate with today’s prices. 2000 plus per book. That’s crazy talk!

[KirbyJack]

You’re spot on, I think. These are better, many are worse.

[FoggyNelson]

Is FF 72 label classic cover yet?😷👍‼️

[Steviehuv66]

I recently purchased this book.  I noticed the book was moving around in the old holder. I thought it could damage the book so I sent it into CGC for a press and re grade.  Let’s see how it comes back.
