Issue #48 is a biggie, featuring the first appearance of the Silver Surfer and Galactus. Despite the fact that it is the most readily available issue in high grade, 9.8s still demand a hefty premium. This 9.8 Signature Series copy is one of 5 highest graded with 38 additional blue label copies. We acquired our book in the 9/6/2011 CL Auction.*

issue #49 marks the first full appearance of Galactus and the second appearance of Silver Surfer. Unlike issue #48, there is only one 9.8 in the census, which sold a few years back for around $50,000-not to me LOL. This 9.6 is the Pacific Coast copy and marks our 11th in this run between #22-49. It was also part of the Doug Schmell Collection auctioned off by Heritage in July 2012.
We acquired the book in a trade of books with another collector in 2018.

Another cover featuring Galactus, Silver Surfer and Johnny Storm heading to college. This issue also features the first appearance of Wyatt Wingfoot. Our 9.6 features white pages and comes from the Twin City Collection. It is tied for second highest graded trailing three 9.8s in the census. We acquired the book in a book swap with another collector in 2018.

The FF once again battle the Sand Man in issue #61. 9.8s of this one are relatively rare because of the black cover, with just three topping the census. We acquired our WP 9.8 in January 2020 in an acquisition of 14 FFs from another collector.
