THE FANTASTIC FOUR #1 CLUB

14 14

My AF15 is different again: 6 13/16 X 10 1/4 and my ASM 1 is different again: 6 7/8 X 10 3/16.

 

As we can see sizes on the early Marvel Silver Ages are all over the place, but your estimates were very close.

 

Your AF15 is the exact same dimensions as my FF 1.

At last!

As some of you know, I've owned a bunch of mid-grade FF #1 copies over the past 12 years or so -- a 6.0, a 6.5, a 3.0 SS, etc. Finally, however, I've moved a bunch of stuff around to bring in the best copy I could get my hands on (from Bob Storms):

I love this copy for all kinds of reasons (color, registration, eye appeal, 'clean' cover), and I'm glad also to say that the page quality is legit. Thanks for looking!

Yours in FF,

Dan

sure is a sharp looking copy D.

Really beautiful book!

superb, dan!!

Beautiful! :hail:

Are you going to Crack and submit to CGC?

it's gorgeous

Not sure if I'll send it to CGC or not...but now I just realized I shouldn't have posted it here! Darn it! No offense intended. Maybe I should take it down.

Dan

Congratulations on that book!

Thanks! Just changed the pic so it's all legit.

Great book Dan, love it. You've become quite the Page Quality snob with your new purchases. Welcome to the club and keep up the good work.

What a shame

Hello All- Very excited to be new to your club and comic books in general. My newly acquired collection (about 6 months ago) has really pulled me into your world and now I can't sleep..so thanks.

By the way, does anyone ever worry about sending these valuable editions in for grading or am I just being paranoid? Also, any tips along those lines besides watching cdc packing video 3 to 7 times??

One more thing, any guesses on a grade for this bad boy before I send it in? Winner takes all the glory!

W@-

Really nice looking book! Congrats!

Welcome to the club, and to the highly rewarding, frustrating, expensive, lucrative, sometimes sleezy, fun, and joyous world of comic book collecting!

I'll guess a 4.5 on that beauty!

Was that Richard's copy? Didn't he win it at auction for a ridiculously low amount, $60k or so?

If the "He" you are referring to is "Me" I don't own the book, consignment copy and he set the price,.
