Up for sale is a great key, early FF issue: Fantastic Four #4. For years, this amazing issue tended to get over-shadowed by #5 (first Doctor Doom); granted, that book is huge in importance, a fact reflected in it having more than doubled in value in just 2-3 years. But this #4 features the first Silver Age appearance of Submariner, and just the second appearance of the Fantastic Four in costume. It features a story by the legend himself, Stan Lee, and art by another l...egend, Jack Kirby. But finally, this book is starting to get the attention it always deserved and has been appreciating nicely. This copy is a CGC 3.0. I would note that a CGC 4.0 just sold for $1, 900 while a CGC 5.5 sold for an astonishing $4, 700 just this last week! MyComicShop has a CGC 3.0 listed on eBay right now, same grade as this one, and is asking $1, 530. As of the search I just did on all eBay listings of this book in CGC graded form, I priced this to be the cheapest 'per CGC point' copy on eBay. Please also note that I have several other key FF issues listed, all CGC graded: #2 (2nd appearance of the Fantastic Four), #3 (first appearance of their costumes), #49 (2nd appearance of Silver Surfer & Galactus), #50 (3rd appearance of Silver Surfer & Galactus), #52 (1st appearance of Black Panther), and #53 (2nd appearance of Black Panther). I package well and always ship out items the very next morning after payment is received. This item will ship USPS Priority Mail, fully insured, with signature required at deliver, all for a well-below-true-cost to you of $9.95. Thanks for looking.
