Miraclo Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I would take the Supes, because I love the cover, but I agree with you. That Supes #1 definitely got the pedigree bump when it was graded. I mean, look at that spine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this also an example of a "gift grade"? As in, whoever bought this as a 5.0 got a helluva a gift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Both sold for approx. $13,000 about 5 years ago. The graders notes on the Marvel reference 5 pieces of tape on the cover, inside cover, and 1st wrap. Which one would you choose, and why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 the Fantastic 3 is "fantastic", but not sure it warrants the price, other than it is a great cover... Marvel 1 is far more "important" even in lower condition... I choose M1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also suspect that the marvel 1 would clear $25K today, and the fantastic 3 would still be at sub $15K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miraclo Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Although I am not much of a timely collector, I would still go with the Marvel #1 over the MF 54. I know that issue always fetches a princely sum, but I can't see passing on THE marvel key for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
