FF 75 in 9.8 http://ebay.to/1xgzjV4

 

I remember when I bought my copy of this. I was a new collector. The copy was pretty crisp and in really nice shape, or so I thought. I found out later that the lower staple was detached. This was about 25 years ago...lesson learned...always pull the book out of the bag!

 

This copy is amazing...a survivor in this grade.

 

FF#75 is another personal favorite. Love that book. I bought a nice raw one a year or so ago from a boardie. I really need to get a graded copy to pair with the rest of the awesome storyline.

 

...same here..... it was the first one I bought with my own money off the stands .... leaf raking proceeds if memory serves. GOD BLESS....

It was one of the books my Uncle bought me on my first trip to a true comic book store. He loved the Surfer and remembered the "worlds within worlds" storyline to this one from when he was younger.

 

It was an added bonus when they ended up having to fight their dopplegangers in it as I had an issue of Spider-Ham where the backup story was the Fantastic Fur fighting their evil twins.

These books are freaking sweet. Bob has the best FF's!

I always loved the cover to #75, one of my favorites. I don’t have my copy scanned yet, but I owe it to Andy (October), and it‘s a nice VF+

Fantastic Four #58

Massachusetts pedigree

 

From a superior, underappreciated collection with remarkable preservation of paper and cover inks. This ish is part of a titanic story arc with Doom, the Surfer, and some of the Inhumans all involved. Chrisco's favorite.

 

 

Nice book. I keep patiently waiting for a 9.6 W copy to pop up for sale.

Fantastic Four #55

Pacific Coast pedigree

 

Just a simple but classic Kirby cover. Comic acquired in the days before CGC from Robert Roter, who purchased it directly from the original owner. It's getting harder and harder to find high grade silver age comics that haven't been manipulated by pressing.

 

 

Something about FFs and purple covers this one just pops the inks are unreal

Not for much longer, which motivated me to post the pedigree copies from my run.

 

Fantastic Four #50

Slobodian pedigree

 

Simple but beautiful Surfer cover using a deep brown background. Conclusion of the tremendous first Galactus/Surfer story arc.

Fantastic Four #42

Twin Cities pedigree

 

One of those covers with a sweet purple background.

Fantastic Four #38

Pacific Coast pedigree

 

I sure do love the Pac Coast FFs.

Fantastic Four #36

Pacific Coast pedigree

 

First appearance of an Inhuman. This comic has been in my collection since '99.

Fantastic Four #35

Pacific Coast pedigree

Fantastic Four #34

Suscha News pedigree

 

While the Suscha News collection is rightly known for its ridiculously sweet bronze age comic runs, it also has some pretty silver age books too.

Fantastic Four #33

Pacific Coast pedigree

 

As far as I know, this is the first photomontage cover of the silver age, and it's way cool. Another pedigree comic bought from Pacific Comic Exchange way back in '99, and never manipulated.

Fantastic Four #31

Suscha News pedigree

 

Jet black cover background with rich inks.

 

[namisgr]

Fantastic Four #28

Curator pedigree

 

Whitest copy of FF #28 I've ever seen. Only a small strip of distributor overspray mars the cover. Classic cross-over as two titanic teams do battle.

 

[namisgr]

Fantastic Four #26

Curator pedigree

 

White and fresh, so much so this copy is arguably nicer than others with higher numerical grades. Thrilling story: as if the Hulk/Thing battle royale wasn't enough, Earth's mightiest heroes enter the fray. It's like the very best of the WWF!

 

[namisgr]

Fantastic Four #24

Twin Cities pedigree

 

[namisgr]

Fantastic Four #22

Massachusetts pedigree

 

Cover paper and inks as fresh as a Curator. Cool coloring on the Thing, almost a washtone appearance.

 

[namisgr]

Fantastic Four #21

Northland pedigree

 

Another book in the collection for a very long time.

I think your comment slipped by the masses. Are you going to sell of your FF's ? You have an extraordinary collection. From a fellow collector's standpoint who also values originality, if sold, I am concerned these wonderful books will be subjected to the irons. Sad.
