TALES OF SUSPENSE #39 CGC 8.5 UNIVERSAL

Up for auction is an unrestored copy of the 1st appearance and origin of Iron Man!!! The book displays nicely and is in an Old Label, which means that the book was probably NEVER Pressed and it has a great shot for a page quality upgrade to at least Offwhite Pages. These old labeled slabs are getting more and more sought after and much harder to find especially on a key book. I have provided large and clear scans for your viewing

This book is one of the hotter Silver Age books currently in the market right now and it keeps going up yearly! With 2 successful movies under its belt and a third one coming out sometime 2013, this book is definitely a great investment! Not to mention the Avengers movie coming out mid-2011! Robert Downey Jr. portrayed as Tony Stark/Iron Man may be the best actor ever portrayed in a comic book movie. Get this book now before prices sky high even more!

All throughout last year, I have recorded some key sales with this book to help you determine its value and its potential. As you can see below, each grade point in the 8.5 range and up at least doubles in value!!! The most recent sale of a CGC 8.5 sold for $13,000 then $13,450 a month after at two separate auction sites!

I will probably regret it when in following years it goes for $40K or more like all other silver age books. Xmen#1 now at this price and was $9k, AF#15 sky-rocketed to $100K, ASM#1 over $30K, this is just another under priced Gem.

Called CGC (1877-NM-COMIC) and the notes:Tiny stress on spine,Tiny line abrasions along edges,

Tiny chip on lower back cover and Date stamp on cover. No problem found on interior.

1st Appearance of Iron Man 1963

BLUE LABEL UNRESTORED NO QUALIFIERS

NO MARVEL CHIPPING ANYWHERE

Movie in MAY has made the popularity of Iron-man go up. This will only drive the price up. It is still under priced as for Silver Age high grade first appearance goes.

Proof is in what happened in the past when the first Iron Man movie came

out and it more than doubled in price. Also, what happened to AF#15 after the movies, skyrocketed in price. So why am I selling, I am making money and selling below the futures price, need to consolidate some bills and fixing my home.

SUPER KEY ISSUE! NOT MANY LEFT IN THE WORLD!

VERY HIGH DEMAND & VERY LOW SUPPLY

HUGE INVESTMENT POTENTIAL

Make me an offer and see if it can WIN IT!!

Seller's Grading Comments: New Movie on the way and this will sky rocket again. Invest now and have a solid return of 30% to 50%, maybe allot more.

Tales of Suspense 39 CGC 7.5 SS 2X Iron Man 1 First App

Sold For: US $11,520.00 Seller: r0b3m4n (215)

This is not a copy – it is the original First Appearance of Iron Man from 1963! It is the ONLY SIGNED Tales of Suspense 39 – in the CGC census above the grade of 7.0! Below you can see that this comic is the stand alone highest graded signed copy of TOS 39. Truly a one of a kind investment. This 1963 comic is not only signed – but it is signed TWICE! Signed by the story writer Stan Lee and artist Gene Colan. Stan Lee is the brilliant writer attributed with much of the Intellectual Property that is now considered Marvel Comics. Gene Colan is an artist that also goes back to the very origins of Marvel. It is very doubtful another comic this high of a grade will ever be signed and graded this high ever again! This comic is very beautiful and I included many pictures to showcase for you the sharp corners and complete lack of creases.

This amazing comic is the first ever appearance of Iron man and is a classic marvel cover which many people recognize.

This Comic went up significantly in value after the Iron Man movie came out and there is another movie slated for release in May 2010 and a third has already been signed for!

The plastic case is in perfect condition and it comes bagged and packaged very well. Insurance is included for free with this auction!

I have a 100% feedback score and have been an ebay member for several years. For this comic you must pay through paypal. For this mag an in-person exchange is NOT possible. Check out my feedback and the $8000 Amazing Spider-man #1 I sold recently; not to mention all of the bullion transactions!

Note that I do allow a time payment plan for this magazine, 40% is required up front. Also this is NOT a Must Sell (or an emergency sale) so don't bother trying to send me offers, the only one I will accept is listed above and is fair given the rarity of this piece of art.

Get this one of a kind mag before it's gone!

Happy bidding!

This is one of the lowest totals I can ever remember for this particular horse race. Is everyone saving their money for the 8.0 Tec 27, WM Fantastic Four #1 and the 9.4 X-Men #1? This isn't the greatest listing in the history of the world. That can't have helped.
