Description

Unrestored Universal 9.0 copy of Tales to Astonish #27!! First appearance and origin of Ant-Man! This is one of the best known copies in the world, a CBCS VF/NM with off-white pages that trails only 2 9.4's way atop the census. This is easily one of the top 3 hardest Silver Age Marvels to find in high grade and it has been rising in value for several years now. The phenomenal success of the Ant-Man motion picture surely hasn't hurt its ascent. This is a classic and key early Silver Age Marvel (one of only 3 with the 10 cent cover) that never pops up anywhere in 9.0 or better. In fact, only 9 other CGC 9.0's exist (with NONE in 9.2), out of over 860 graded to date. Feast your eyes on the 3rd nicest copy in the universe: PERFECTLY cut and centered with ridiculous color strike and only minor peripheral wear keeping it from being the only 9.2. This is the first 9.0 offered for sale in almost 3 years (April, 2015).
