Great acquisition! 
I wouldn’t mind a wumped reading copy.  

Any copy with all four sides of the issue number box is more than just a reading copy!

Sorry. I did not mean to imply that your book was a beater. It's not.

It just put me in mind to add a 101 to the pile of thrashed readers I've been slowly picking up.

All good; didn’t think you were. It is far from high grade of course! Grabbed it in Dale’s thread as a GVG which seems about right. That’s when it struck me — a 1962 Marvel hero 1st issue, complete, for a hundred bucks. What an outlier head scratcher. All four sides of the issue number box is simply a rare bonus!

Thrashed readers are awesome!

I'm sure I've posted this before but I wanted a cool thread to drop my 400th post. Only took me a little over 4 years. I figure it'll be 2024 before I get to 1000!

You're setting a blistering pace on that post-count, Dave!

At one time i had three copies of this book still way underrated Marvel key

My pic from 7 years ago is no longer there, so I will post it again, remember buying this at a local show in the early 2000's, the seller also had two ASM issues I wanted, 32 and 33, he wanted $40.00 for the ST and $25.00 each for the ASM books, I was unsure if I wanted to spend that much so said if you buy the ST you can have both ASM books for $25.00, Sold!!!

The book is a FR/GD 1.5 and the value (if you care about such things, me I am a collector, not an investor) has not changed much from the $40.00 I paid 20+ years ago, very happy to have the book in my collection.

I love it but I always favored putting my money in the FF main run…

That's precisely why I find the Human Torch run in this title strangely compelling. It's much less widely collected and therefore a collection of such is more unique.

My comment was from 10 years ago, however! LOL!

Well, Claudio, if you were around more, we would have more recent quotes. 

 

[KirbyJack]

Of course, the Cat is correct. Strange Tales collections are wonderful.  I’m complete from 101-146, the end of the Ditko Dr. Strange stories. 

Please ignore the Millie annual. My brain forms a weird equivalence between it and Strange Tales annual 1.

Your comments are forever (or at least as long as this board lasts) though.

[Hepcat]

While I don't have a #101, I might as well post these two:

I do not have money to put into collecting, and also time is very little, so most is "freezed"…

I get it. No pressure.

We just miss you sometimes.
