Marvel Comics #1 Kansas City CGC Apparent 7.0
<B>Marvel Comics #1 Kansas City pedigree (Timely, 1939) CGC Apparent FN/VF 7.0 Slight (P) Off-white to white pages.</B></I> 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 2007 GD 2.0 value = $21,250; VG 4.0 value = $42,500; FN 6.0 value = $63,750.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
