Got these 2 from the latest ComicLink auction....It's a pretty beat up #3, but still my first copy!

 

As for the #7, this should make a great reading copy....I recently read in the "Kirby-King of Comics" book that this was the only F.F. cover he inked himself.

 

Nothin wrong with that 3 that a little love can't compensate for! NICE 2.5!

Thanks for the love for #3, you too Human Torch!

Is that a subscription crease on the #3? Gotta love the old days, subscribe and Marvel will fold it in half and mail it.

Wish I could afford a nicer copy

But you have one, that is what's important here. F.F. #4 is in my SA Marvel Top 15. A real key comic! Congrats!

Thanks KirbyJack, got them all but mama most of my first 10 are beat up. Upgrading is tough when there are lots of other books I don't have. Wish I had spent $10 more 20 years ago when I bought them.

Hear it. Back in the late 80s, I was quite single-minded in my silver age pursuit. I needed everything. Now . I was buying old Marvels 20-30 issues at a time. I remember very clearly passing up higher graded comics in favor of lower grades, just so I could harvest greater quantity.

Now I gotta spend thousands to get a high grade copy of early Silver Marvel in high grade. They were so cheap at one time, of course they were a lot harder to find before the internet.

Just got this today frm Flaming Telepath....one of my very favorite FF's of all time.GOD BLESS...

This is most definitely a book on my want list and I don't collect FFs...

great issue, first red ghost and his apes plus watcher. How cool was that to create a character who was super advanced but could not get involved, just watch. Nice pick up jimmer.

#13 is a great issue! I love the expressions on the Red Ghost as he's watching the apes reveal their powers..great stuff! A trip to the moon and the 1st appearance of the Watcher makes this one of the most undervalued FF's.

Here's my copy.

Got it for $60 from ComicLink a few months ago:

Nice book! Just $60?

Nothing wrong with picking up a $ 150 copy for $ 60.It seems like there are a dozen or so "steals" in each Clink auction.It really pays to troll through during the last hours.GOD BLESS...

You have a nose for value jimbo.

Nice book at a great price Darth.

And yes, I will take the first appearance of the Watcher over a ton of other first appearances. The guy is important to the Marvel universe.

I can see it now..................a Watcher movie.

Here's a nice digital pic of my new one....the scans were too grainy.GOD BLESS...

When I trawled round the UK comic marts in the 90s, I never saw a high grade copy of Fantastic Four 13 in person. Great looking copies.

Here is a FF27 I picked up pre-CGC. A small indent at the top of the back cover but the pages are white and the cover colors are nice.
