High Comics Related Item for the Week Ending June 21, 2008

Tales of Suspense 39 1st Iron Man HIGH GRADE CGC VF 8.0

Winning Bid: US $11,667.00 Seller: showcase-4 (200)

Description:

This NO RESERVE, 7 day auction is for one of the hottest comics in the Country right now — Tales of Suspense #39, featuring the 1st appearance & Origin of Iron Man! This INVESTMENT GRADE copy has been CGC certified VF 8.0 Unrestored with Off-White to White pages! A beautiful Silver Age Marvel Key — fresh to the market, from an original owner collection…..being offered by one of eBay's most trusted sellers of high dollar comic books.

The book really speaks for itself……only minimal spine stress keep it from grading higher. (G-d forbid someone in the past may have actually READ it!) The PQ is fantastic….supple, newsstand fresh, sweet smelling 1960's pulp! The best thing about this copy is what it does not have: no tears, writing, marvel chipping, color breaking creases, stains, spine splits, and my all time favorite condition flaw…..no rat chew! Both staples are rust free and firmly hold the cover on. The spine is solid and tight. The edges are sharp. The cover inks are deep and rich, with white whites, and the cover maintains much of its original gloss. The comic is flat and structually superior to most copies I have seen. The book is just back from CGC, and the holder is in perfect condition. The pics have not been enhanced, brightened or altered.

THIS AUCTION WILL NOT BE STOPPED EARLY FOR ANY REASON. Free shipping for any members of the CGC Message Boards, where I am an active member known by the same name: showcase-4. A link to my website can be found on my "about me" page, as well.

This is one of the cleanest 8.0's I have seen in a long time, and I am confident the high bidder will be thrilled when he opens my sealed package, and holds this book in his (or her ) hands for the 1st time.

Here's the book:
