Favorite FF key would have to be have to be #5, well because DOOM. And #20 just because of what a pivotal character Molecule Man would be. Plus the George Martin fan letter is such a cool gem. Great video! 👏
Recently completed my FF 1-100 run. Working on 101-250 as well as upgrading when good opportunities present themselves. The toughest to land for me was actually FF5. While you can find them, finding a good deal on it takes a lot of time and patience.
Fantastic Four books had been my favorites growing up in the 60s. I really enjoyed your video, it brings up great memories. The best time period for comics (writing/stories) was when Marvel introduced The Inhumans, then Galatus & the Silver Surfer, and finally introducing the Black Panther. It would be hard to find a better time period than that.
@@AutomaticComics my favorite FF cover is actually #72 as SilverSurfer is my favorite character in this series - but FF 49 being his first cover appearance just ranks a little higher from a significance for me.
I was a huge fan of the FF and Jack Kirby as a silver age kid, and I have a run from #15 to 101. I have always wanted to complete that run, but it is doubtful that will happen. It would be too much money in my opinion to complete it, but I will take my time and be patient; but the cost seems beyond what I am willing to pay at this time, especially for #'s 1 and 5.
FF #2 - Affordable option for those that can’t get the funds for a #1, I love 2nd appearance Silver Age keys. Also, first appearance of the Skrulls - Probably one of the most relevant villains in the Marvel Universe, The fact that they have infiltrated Earth and have been hiding amongst us since the 1960’s I like #3 being it’s the first time we see the FF in their traditional blue uniforms, For me it’s like first Green Hulk and first Golden Armor Iron Man. I’m also a big fan of FF #6, First Marvel Super Villain Team-Up, 2nd appearance of Doctor Doom and 2nd Silver Age Sub Mariner. Very surprised you didn’t give this issue an honorable mention
@@AutomaticComics I’m sure it’s quite a bit of work, Very detailed and informative. The list is great as is.. I’m sure if all your subscribers got a book they like added to the list, The list would be a mile long and take months to put together.
I occasionally like these videos. But honestly, you and many others, have a real way of sucking the fun out of the hobby. If I never hear the words percent and corrected ever again I’d be good with that.
I have a Fantastic Four #4 in cgc 8.5. When do I sell? I have nothing into it for reasons I can't explain, but I thought it would be a $22K book by now. Tempted to squish it into a 9.0.
Hey Ryan, this is Bob in Ridgefield Connecticut. I love this video I had every fantastic four at one time.. anyway, I want your opinion on amazing Spider-Man 1 6.5 that sold on eBay for $11,600 last week I think on September 26. Definitely sounds like NOT REAL sale . Usually it goes for close to $30,000 a few months ago one of the 6.5 sold on eBay for $35,000. . No way in hell you can get this book for that cheap.. what do you think?😳😳😳
Great subject - thanks for putting in the research! I’ve been debating about getting the copy of FF 45 at my lcs, priced at $115… looks to be a 3.0-3.5.. tempting, plus no delivery fees and a discount if I pay cash.
I got my FF 45 & 46 in 2019, ahead of the covid/spec spike Ryan, and they were a 5.5 and 8.0 respectively. I loved the Inhumans stories as a kid. Owning their first appearances feels good 👍
Uhhh.. the current prices sting.. bought ff 2,3 and for just a few years ago... lucky me, the ff2, was signed by stan, but still.. the prices.. oh my ;( Still missing #1, 5, 21, 33 and 36 to complete 1-100.
You can’t always rely on the stupid auctions to value books. Comic dealers sell books all the time outside auctions. GPA is not the ultimate authority. Don’t think you can buy key books like these for the last GPA sale. No one is going to sell an FF #2 in 4.0 for $1650. Whoever paid that got a steal!
Awesome video, and generous giveaways. I’ll be heading over to fanalytics for part 2
Thanks!
Love these Videos ❤ Super informative
Great video as always. Really appreciate the work put into getting stats
Keep 'em coming Ryan!! Good stuff.
👍
Great work as slways Ryan!! LOVE FF 12 and the time is definitely right for that one! FF49 is probably my second favorite all-time classic cover!
Informative as usual. Keep it up!
Thanks 👍
Great videos lately keep it going. Always been a fan of ff 48 and 49
Thanks!
Great series! Keep up the good work!
I'm just getting into Silver Age now, I love this kind of deep dive into the numbers. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Glad to see a silver age video. Please do more.
👍

Thanks!
My favorite FF cover is #49. Sold mine this year but I'll own another someday! I wish 48 had 49's cover!
I agree. 49 is the superior cover of the two.
FF #1... hands down. Changed the course of comics into the Marvel Age, Exelsior!!!

Hands down one of my favorite runs I’m still working on. Kirby and Sinnott was on fire.
great info , love your shows
Really enjoy this format. Some of the context around pricing is really interesting
FF 49 is my favorite book. SilverSurfer and Galactus on the cover together - just amazing.
FF49 definitely seems to be one of the top choices I’ve seen in the comments 👍

Great information! I had FF 45 on my radar but need to act sooner than later.
Great video I really was not a fan of fantastic 4 but I'm starting to appreciate them now
Great research!
Great video as always
Just got a great deal on an FF8. So happy to add it to the collection.
Great video!!! I’ve been at FF 48 forever
Good breakdown!

FF is one of the most under appreciated titles out there. Issues 5 and 48 are my favorites.
I believe you overlooked the primary appeal of issue 45, Sue's spectacular hair.
😂 it’s pretty great for sure
Love that FF 12 cover and FF 49 my fav cover.

If you knew how long it takes to put these together, you wouldn’t wonder why I don’t put any extra books in the list =)

I enjoy the way you point out which books to avoid and buy, thank you for the info.
Love to get ff49 this year 🤙🏴
Good luck 👍
I like these specific title reviews. I can see how this was harder due to that 2018 bump you mentioned.
Was definitely a bit trickier.
I don’t have very many FF books but I do have FF 129 because I really like the character Thundra.
My favorite FF cover is #8
There is some good priced FF books still out there I've been wanting the first Silver Surfer and the first Galactus FF books so bad.
Love FF a underrated. Loved them as a kid can’t wait for a solid movie with good casting and writing.
Fingers crossed 🤞

Any Doom appearances
FF 46 is so tempting to pick up right now with how low the price is. Awesome first appearance from such a classic part of that FF run.
I feel like the inhumans have so much potential. I have the full inhumans run..just need their first appearance

FF 49 is easily my favorite due to Galactus being the greatest villain ever!
Got ff 45 in 8.5 and ff 46 in 9.0. I'd love to have ff 12
I got my FF 45 & 46 in 2019, ahead of the covid/spec spike Ryan, and they were a 5.5 and 8.0 respectively.

Yep. Too bad Disney ruined the characters in the series.
Uhhh.. the current prices sting.. bought ff 2,3 and for just a few years ago... lucky me, the ff2, was signed by stan, but still.. the prices.. oh my ;(

Silver surfer trilogy and #112.
I would love to have any of thos FF books but definitely at the right price for my wallet😅
FF, especially the Byrne runs are way too undervalued. My favorite title after X-Men
FF 49 for sure!
By requiring the rights, I assume you mean the movie/TV rights. Maybe they are the same.
Looks like there might be a little potential here and there…especially if you are a collecting as opposed to flipping!
