My FF # 5 is trimmed unfortunately but it still presents well!

Awesome copy!

Posted this over in CG, but thought it may get some love here as well.

Surprise pick up from the LCS this weekend. I'd gone to the shop for a 50 cent sale, had already paid and was heading out the door when I saw this one up on the wall. Covers are split and detached, but the book is otherwise complete and was still a bargain.

Now: keep it in a mylar? Worthing slabbing? Thoughts?

Slab or not to slab is a personal preference, but congrats...the money shot of doom has deep colors.

What are your plans for it? If you are thinking of selling, then slab it. If you ware going to hold it for a while, then keep it in mylar and tuck it away.

Thanks guys! I have no intention of selling at this point, but you never know what direction my interests will go over time. I can be a little adhd in my collecting "focus"! I've never slabbed a book with a detached/split cover like that, I'm assuming it can still get a blue label? But given the condition I'm assuming it'd only hit 1.0 to 1.5 anyway. Since the cover was completely detached/split, I wasn't sure how CGC's handling of the book might affect it further, and if indeed it may be "safer" in a mylar. 

At any rate, thanks for your time! It's a beater, but I love that cover image!

If anyone has a dr doom sideshow figure for sale, let me know!

I know I'm late to this party, but here's a picture of my copy of Fantastic Four #5. Yes, I know my picture taking skills are quite lacking.

I am very lucky that I had the chance to get my copy signed by Stan Lee and Joe Sinnott back in 2016.  I think the gamble of cracking the blue label paid off in this case.  I also think the ultra fine blue looks great on this book.

Low grade is going to raise fast over time too. It’s a good purchase congrats.

Very happy to join the club!  Bought this off of Instagram the other week, the white pages did it for me. 

[Retroheavy]

Really happy with this raw copy! Looking forward to see how it grades when I send it off later in the year.

[ChasingKingKirby]

My copy.  Rough, but complete.

I finally found this thread!  Sorry for double-posting my new FF #5 here as well as in the FF thread, but I love the new copy.  Thanks!
