See below for complete information on the condition of this beautifully-preserved CGC-graded classic issue; and the BONUS Hardcover Collection Long term storage of FF #18, in a Mylar bag with an acid-free board,until submission to CGC in March of 2019! Information on condition: Fantastic Four #18 was bagged and boarded since purchase and (since 1990, when I learned about the superior results attainable with archival storage products and moved my entire collection into those products) it was preserved in a thick archival Mylar bag with a heavy-weight acid-free board, and stored in my smoke-free, pet-free, climate-controlled home. It was removed from its Mylar bag for the first time to be graded by CGC!! I submitted it to CGC to be graded and encased and it was returned, with an 8.5 Grade, in April of 2019. This copy, both before and after processing by CGC, NEVER has spent a single day in an attic, basement or storage unit, (and it NEVER will as long as I own it!).Thanks to careful handling, and long-term storage in Mylar, and despite turning SIX DECADES old in 2023, this issue STILL looks BEAUTIFUL, especially in its brand new CGC holder with a Universal label specifying that it still has WHITE pages, to go with that 8.5 grade!! The Hardcover was purchased new, gently read and then shelved in a Mylar bag. The dust jacket has a vertical 'hump' running down the front side, and some lesser compression-type imperfections, apparently caused by a'too-tight' shrink wrap, but is otherwise unblemished (you can verify this copy's 1st Print status from the dust jacket's $29.95 price and lack of a UPC code, and condition is revealed in the numerous photos). Note that the photos used in this listing are not stock images. They are images of the exact copy being offered for sale. The photos show the covers, the CGC Grade and creator/content details, and all the corners, ends and edges of the BRAND NEW CGC case, followed by photos of the 1st Print MARVEL MASTERWORKS Hardcover collection which includes a reprint of FF #18!!
