90 is a sentimental favorite. This ish is the first Kirby Fantastic Four I ever owned. I was buying the MGC reprints off the stands, and loved them, but had no idea how to get any real ones. 

Traded my Howard The Duck #1 for it!

reduckulous!!!!!!!!

It was a fowl trade, but I was down for it anyway.

took me awhile to find a 9.0 or better of this one; my raw copy graded 8.0, and i've been looking for the upgrade for a long time. 

Agreed that this book is really tough!  I have a 9.0 and want a 9.4, and they all seem to have a centering issue ranging from very mild (like your copy) to severe.

[KirbyJack]

Just checked my copy. Good enough, but same deal; slight centering problem. 8.5, maybe.

What happened to FF52 ? 9.6 for $22,222

Take it speculators have moved on to something else ?

Paid too much for this last night on Comiclink, but to me it was the prettiest SA Marvel in the entire auction -- color strike is beyond amazing:

There ya go!! Sevens can look so dang good sometimes...

Congratulations on one fantastic Fantastic Four!

Pretty copy, and Stan's vintage signature makes it even cooler.

These FF's came back from CGC this week.  I bought these books many years ago.  I am slowly getting my key's graded - very happy with the grades.

[PUNYHUMAN]

Beautiful books. I have very fond memories of those 2 books.  Bought them off the newsstand back in 1966.

Those are nice! Especially digging that 55; I can’t remember seeing one present much better than that.

we wouldn't think twice if both were in 9.4 holders---both just gorgeous.  maybe the page quality held them back.

can't compare to those 2, but i am fond of my little funny-books. and, being a g.a. collector, the arrival date appeals to me---understood that most s.a. geeks disagree on this point.  and it looks very much like silver ohio a.d.'s look--hmmm.

[KirbyJack]

Fabulous as always, Straw-Man! 

Humble mid grades for me, but I am content.

[Straw-Man]

thanks, kj.   i'd sooo love to upgrade to 9.0 on the panther, but not gonna happen i reckon.
