Copper Age Fantastic Four Appreciation Thread 4 4

I re-read FF 249-250 over the weekend. I've always recommended it to people as being one of the high points of Marvel story lines of that era but I was not too imprressed with it.

Do you ever buy raw NM+/MT copies on eBay and then send them to Sarasota?  I’ve been doing that for my Swamp Thing run because no one in their right mind would spend money on getting most of them slabbed.  Some of the covers I’ve sent to CGC are awful.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to do that. Especially #394 - that's a bagged issue that no one has sent in.

One of these days soon, I'm going to buy a graded 9.8, WP, of one of these.  It was always one of my favorites for some reason.

[Jasonmorris1000000]

I would say that I've liked 99.9% of all Bill Sienkiewicz's stuff over the years.  Have you seen how much a 9.8 Batman #400 goes for these days?  Ridiculous.  #227 is the actual comic I bought when I was 7 years old.  I'm surprised it isn't in worse shape considering how much I loved it.

Is this Bronze or Copper?

I'd say Bronze (before 1980), but close enough!

You were way better than me. Here's one I bought when I was like 10 or 11 and yours is in better shape I think. The ones I got when I was 7 are mostly dust now.

117-Present.  From 200-400, I need 298, 320, 363, 378, 380, 394, and 396.

I need all of those as well. Yikes.

Most of these aren't being sent in to cgc. 320 surprises me the most because its Hulk vs. Thing with Doctor Doom thrown in. I guess it is the least popular HvT issue, but still.

Looks like we need to send these in ourselves.

The 298 is surprisingly tough. The usual suspects don't have it.

Baxter Building has all the issues except 394, we'll have to ask him how he did it.

Hey @Werner_Von_Doom... I'll win this book for you, and give it to you and a 20% premium for your 223 white pager. Just putting it out there.

As far as I know, this is the only time Ben Grimm beat the Hulk in fight.

I would, but I'm thinking about going to all white pagers in the 200s.  I'm sure youl'll get one soon enough.

Oops, that's Bronze. Here's a copper:
