Here are some books that arrived today from Reese's Rare Comics.  They grade on the "slabbed" scale, even those these books are raw.  The 143 is supposedly a 9.2, the 165 is a 9.0, and the other 3 are 8.5.  I looked through the 143, and there are in fact very few problems structurally, but it has some pretty serious tanning on interior pages.

Some great copies being posted in here!!! I'm focusing more so on the 101-134 period and then the Doctor Strange covers. 

I've got a few extra copies of ST 101, a few slabbed, a few raw. I still think it's an under valued book.

I try to have a raw copy to read of the early issues, as (to my knowledge) only the Human Torch stories are reprinted in the Marvel Masterwork books.

No pic of a raw 103

101 is a great book.  and a BEAST to find with a "9" on front.   years and years of lookin', still sittin' at 8.0.

I've seen a few 8.5s but knew your goal was a 9-something so I didn't bother with them. That's a lot to pay for an "almost what I want" upgrade!

No CGC slabbed 105, but I CAN offer this Australian copy of 105 (called Strange Tales #1) but I can't show the label (different company holder ... hey, I bought it that way!). 

[Frisco Larson]

I REALLY dig this book and have several copies of it because it's so cool and very affordable! 

[Frisco Larson]

I still haven't found the "right" copy of this in graded form yet. This one sells for a LOT of loot, so I want to get the right one when I throw down. Killer issue!!!

Trivia item: the only corner box with a waving Torch. 

[Frisco Larson]

No graded copy yet, so just this raw book. Note corner box change!
