The collection (called the Central London Collection) comes out of Great Britain from a high grade collector and Fantastic Four enthusiast who put together one of the very best Fantastic Four runs in the world. This unreal collection took many years to put together and he decided now was the right time to sell. Many of the early issues and issues in the teens are in 8.0 and 8.5. The issues in the 20's are mostly 8.5 and then climb to 9.0 and higher in the 30's. By issue #39, the books are all 9.2 and 9.4 and are all 9.4 and higher beginning with Fantastic Four #51. Then, almost EVERY issue is a 9.6 starting with FF #71 and all are 9.6 and 9.8 starting with Fantastic Four #101. Finally, every issue is a 9.8 from Fantastic four #166 through #250!

The Annuals are all in high grade, including #1 and #2 in 9.0, #3 in 9.6, #4 in 9.4, #5 in 9.8 and the in-demand Annual #6 in 9.4.

The collector was incredibly picky and anal with page quality, as almost every book in the collection has white or off-white to white page quality (over 96% are either white or off-white to white) and most of the later issues are a stunning "BONE WHITE".

He would not buy any books with cream to off-white or lower page quality. He did not like imperfect staples so every one of his books has perfect staples and staple placement, with no books having staples appearing on the front cover. He also did not like stress lines so practically every single comic in the collection has absolutely no stress lines! He was very picky about eye appeal and centering so almost every book has exact registration and centering and an unread look, including many of the early issues. He loved books from original owner collections and would buy and upgrade to one whenever he could and thus the collection contains many gorgeous original owner books.

The collection is near-complete and only issue #'s 1, 3, 120 and 124 are missing from the run!! Every Fantastic Four Annual from #1 to #6 is included.

All 250-plus issues are now live in the December "World's Greatest Fantastic Four Comic Magazine Auction" and are offered with no reserve amount. There are many great issues and iconic covers in the run to choose from. This is the chance to upgrade your own Fantastic Four collection or Registry Set with some of the absolute nicest issues of Fantastic Four ever offered for sale.
