Thanks.  I bought it off of WW Comics a few weeks ago.

superb 17!

This is one of my favorite covers …… money has been very tight lately....and that morning I woke up with NO intentions of buying an FF …. but this one is tricky to find with both the full CCA stamp and the full corner logo with no wrap around. I caved. GOD BLESS....

As a kid, being only able to buy two comics a week, I resisted purchasing any FF's. However, upon seeing #21, I had to buy it. For sentimental reasons this will always be my favorite FF.

Here's my copy. I got this from Richard Bedrock a number of years ago, a trade up transaction using a 9.0 + cash.  Unless something falls into my lap, this is my keeper copy.

Wow, that’s straight!

I used to own the Northland copy, bought from Motor City Comics when they brought the collection to market.  It had nice white paper, and wound up in a 9.4 holder:

With all the Pedigree collections coming to market since, the Northland books are somewhat overlooked. Introduced before CGC and the advent of pressing, the collection was extensive and the books really nice. I saw the collection at a Motor City Con but it was really picked over by then. I'm not sure who got first shot, maybe Harley and some other dealers ?  Still, I wish I had bought more when I saw the collection.

I probably got to it even later than you, buying a handful of Marvels from it from the semi-annual Motor City catalog.  The runs of each title were sporadic by then.

21 was always one of my favorites.   It was the first “expensive” back issue I ever bought as a youngster.  I saved up my allowance and bought it for the princely sum of $30.  I ended up selling it years later in the great “sell my SA books for beer $$$ in college” purge.  Still haven’t replaced it.

Love that cover! So much going on. I'm looking forward to the return of the FF. 

[KirbyJack]

I’d love to be optimistic, but I just can’t imagine that Marvel is going to cater to my old-fogey preferences. 

I anticipate more time-travel, alternate dimension, reset-button type stuff. We will see!
