Wow! Beautiful books! .........Perfect Centering

[rube11]

Thank you, I liked that about both books!

[RickHigh]

Great looking books!!!! Seems like you're making real head way on your FF collection. What issues do you still need to pick up?

[thehumantorch]

Yep, nice books rube. Has anybody received their Clink FFs yet? Still waiting on mine.

[trmoore54]

Just goes to show...contrary to popular belief...a 9.0 run of FF in 9.0 cannot be put together in a couple months, even if you have the money.J.I.M. 83-95 also fits that category.The first 3 Hulks in 9.0 would also be time consuming.That's what makes it fun.GOD BLESS....

Here is the 13....not real happy with it but its still a 9.0 Just don't like the dirt/tanning/dust shadow around the top edge and side....

 

[RickHigh]

Hey rube, even with the tanning, that's a super book. Congrats!

 

Here is a cool book that I've had a while, but I was just updating some of my scans.

Thanks Rahigh...that 22 is a VERY nice copy!

[rube11]

These 2 books I am REALLY happy with. The colors are amazing on both of them...the "scratches" showing on the 25 are on the plastic holder.

Very nice indeed

On a positive note...it is perfectly centered.FF 13 is notorious for being off centered and mis-cut.Out of all 3 copies recently offered at auction...the Clink 8.5 was the nicest of the bunch. If the spine dimple could have been pressed out it probably could have been resubbed for a 9.0.If I had won it I probably would have left it alone....but I can understand your focus on 9.0...that really is the separating point on early FF's...very tough at that level.GOD BLESS...

NICE....A copy with Reed's full foot showing at the bottom and the full comics code stamp....This is probably the NICEST 9.0 out there.What a rare book in grade.It always surprises me that this book doesn't go for more...first Super Skrull, sheesh, he appeared in almost everything. Congratulations on that.GOD BLESS...

P.S. It's also got the first "rocky" Thing.He's still lumpy on the interiors until Roussos took over with # 21.He began inking covers with this issue.

Thanks Jimjum, you are correct on the 13, I did like the centering on it and the 18 as you had mentioned seems to be a tough book in 9.0 and above but the centering on this was also terrific.

[rube11]

How about a bump

[djpinkpanther67]

Nice books Steve! The #18 is definitely a great find!

Even though I am not a fan of COW PQ, the #13 is impressive as well :thumbsup:

[rube11]

Thanks T, just waiting on some other books to arrive so I can post here. How about some others you recently have brought it? Sounds like your moving ahead pretty quickly dude....
