Marvel Comics #1 Kansas City CGC Apparent 7.0
This issue is ranked as the third-most valuable comic of all for good reason, and in fact for years and years, it held the #1 spot in Overstreet's ranking. It's the first Timely comic, and it has the first newsstand appearances of both the Human Torch and the Angel. The famous cover is by Frank R. Paul. You'll often hear old-school collectors calling this <B>Marvel Mystery</B></I> #1, and with good reason, since the series, the company's flagship magazine, became <B>Marvel Mystery Comics</B></I> starting with issue #2. Also worth noting is that the blacked-out "Oct." at upper right with "Nov." printed on top is common to most copies of this issue. This copy hails from the Kansas City collection, which also had a very nice <B>Captain America Comics</B></I> #1. CGC notes, "Restoration includes: tear seals to cover, cover cleaned and reinforced." Overstreet 2006 GD 2.0 value = $21,000; VG 4.0 value = $42,000; FN 6.0 value = $63,000.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Slabbed Comic (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
