The first with Spidey has a June, 1974 cover date, and is also one of just a handful with a 35 cent cover price. This was the copy I bought off the rack at the time. I remember it was unusual to see in that it was giant-size but not an Annual, and didn't come out during summertime the way Marvel had rolled out its annuals in the past, when kids were off from school and had more free time. In the early days of CGC I bought and resold the only CGC 9.9 of this issue. Not surprising it's still the only copy with that grade.. Then and now I am still impressed by its "Mint" designation. namisgr, WernerVonDoom and MAR1979 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Enterprises Posted Saturday at 05:33 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:33 PM This FF #112 CGC 9.6 is a new acquisition for me that I'm not sure I ever owned unless it was in a collection I quickly sold. I went for this one because of the high grade. The miswrapped cover bugs me a little but there are only so many available for sale at any given time at a reasonable price. Despite the technical stuff, I love that black battle cover. Silver Surfer, ADAMANTIUM, MattTheDuck and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
