Description

Incredible copy!! Nicest one you will ever see and the 4th best and second highest graded example in the world. Tales to Astonish #43 is easily one of the toughest early Ant-Man issues to find in high grade, and in ultra high grade, it is almost impossible. Consider that out of 152 copies submitted to the CGC, only 3 have made it to 9.8 with only 2 in 9.6 and 4 in 9.4. Yes, this is one of only 2 9.6's in the world and it has an unmistakable NM/M look to it. Check the census and you'll see that this issue is one of the toughest (after the famously difficult #35) to locate in 9.0 and higher. The fact that it comes from the Pacific Coast Collection and has snow white pages, perfect centering and a flawless body doesn't hurt either. Cool Jack Kirby and Sol Brodsky cover too.
