Picked up this beauty in roughly this same condition at a local con for only $82.  Felt like I got a pretty good deal.

Great FFs Billy!

Had me thinking that the time these SA books came out is further from us in time then we were as youngsters from the time Golden Age comics hit the newstands.

Just picked this up ... can't tell you how hard it was to find this issue with such perfect centering!

Either Clink had an off night or this book has been the victim of a book doctor. It went for $6700, which is way under fmv. Or maybe FF 3s are a sinking ship right now because no major character was introduced. Regardless, I’ve always loved this issue and crossed the Golden Age lines to add it to my collection!

Anyone know the story on it?

FF #3 will always be a milestone issue for the title and for Marvel Comics in general, as the team appears in costume for the first time.  You got a sweet price on a great comic.

so pretty!  great snag.

I apologize in advance...what does one mean when they say, "this book has been the victim of a book doctor"?

CLink is turning in some 'seems reasonable' final numbers on many books, including the FF #1 CGC 4.0 that also ended below 'FMV' last night...

...tempted to keep bidding before it ended at $9,643. I do not mind the significant damage [nor the rusty staple] in the far upper left quadrant...especially at sub-$10k!

I think you’re overthinking it. Looks to me you just got a good deal...which sometimes happens with auctions. Congrats!

Well that’s a relief. Over in Golden Age there are a lot of books coming to market that the boardies have outed as pressed, etc. Regardless, I like the book and am keeping it

I was  very fortunate this week and was able to fill in a chunk  of early issues from a long time collector in Mexico.  Issues  1-16  follow  FF  in the U.S.  Starting with issue 17  they  integrated Strange Tales  with the human Torch.
