<\/a><\/p>\nFirst of all, let’s briefly review what the highlights are in this set of books. \u00a0Clearly, the most important and popular books are issues 25 and 26 where the Thing and the Hulk do battle. \u00a0But there are multiple early crossovers in this group as well, including Sergeant Fury in issue 21, Doctor Strange in issue 27, and the X-Men in issue 28. \u00a0Values in the Overstreet guide reflect these events, as can be seen on the chart.<\/p>\n
The first (and primary) thing I notice is that issue 26 (85 copies in CGC 9.0 or better) is significantly more common than issue 25 in high grade (64 copies in CGC 9.0 or better). \u00a0Given that the two books both list at $1650 in guide 9.2, and the fact that they were published only a month apart, you would expect them to be equally rare and equally submitted to CGC for grade. \u00a0Could it be that the dark blue cover of issue 25 keeps it out of high grade more often than issue 26 (a white covered book)? \u00a0Just a guess on my part. \u00a0At the end of the day, I would expect issue 25 to command a premium over issue 26 in the same grade.<\/p>\n Any other observations here are difficult. \u00a0There are no 9.8 copies of issue 29. \u00a0And issue 23 only has 44 copies in CGC 9.0 or higher. \u00a0But this issue is not that valuable in the guide, so that would suggest a lower number of copies submitted for grade.<\/p>\n As always, I hope this data is interesting and\/or useful!<\/p>\n Until next time…<\/p>\n P.S. Looking for Silver Age Fantastic Four comics graded CGC 9.0 or higher?<\/a> This is the third in a series of posts on Fantastic Four CGC data. \u00a0I wanted to continue this exercise for the sake of completeness. \u00a0I am not really sure what to expect out of this run of books, so … Continue reading <\/a>So what can we take away here?<\/p>\n
