I bet it's the same copy that Mark Wilson's old company World's Finest Comics sold as part of a Hulk #1-6 'file copy cover' set back in the nineties.

rabidwolf Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 This is not considered a trimmed book though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGC typically has not labeled these books with married covers as 'trimmed', and more often than not gives them green labels, to the best of my knowledge. Yes, they are trimmed, but only once from the oversized covers that roll off the press, and not at the time of production and again a second time by hand on an assembled book, like one designated as 'trimmed'. Voldemort stayed away from the 'trimmed' designation on the Hulk #1. Edited July 25, 2017 by namisgr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually remember buying one of those Fantasia books in the 90s when I was a senior in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantasia faked the existence of Marvel file copy comics by stamping 'FILE COPY' on the splash pages - I remember reading from others that they may have started with the unused covers like the books pictured here, married interiors to them and then faked their provenance.

Drummy Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Merja01 -- You have been posting many great keys today! I love this Hulk #1 in particular. Good luck with your AF 15 sale as well -- I too have a 3.0, but it doesn't present as nicely as yours does. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathlete Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Does anyone have a guess as to what happened with this Hulk 1 on comicconnect? http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=709673 It was up a few months ago and ended up going for $7-8k, if I recall properly. Now it's back up with no indication that there was a previous sale. I thought it was a really strong price, but maybe the buyer backed out?

Having a verified stan lee sig is cool, but I wouldn't put it on a key book. I would never buy one that's signed. If the sig was rare maybe. mysterio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought about upgrading but too expensive these days for a 4.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I remembered two hours too late that I wanted to bid on this. Went for a great price imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your book stands on it's own merits, not souped up because of a signature. All IMO, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Page Quality may have come into play here. Also, looking at the BC scan of the 5.0, it had strong tanning on edges. IMO, the 4.0 looked better than the 5.0 .

alexgross.com Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 this 35k price for a 7.0 is several thousand higher than the last recorded sales on GPA. perhaps the white pages made it more desirable. of course, this sale will never show up on gpa.
