THIS IS THE 5TH 10.0 FR TALES OF SUSPENSE 39 FOIL TO BE UP FOR SALE ON EBAY IN 3-4 YEARS! I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OTHERS ON EBAY. TO DATE, OTHER THAN THE FOUR SALES I MENTION ABOVE, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OTHER TALES OF SUSPENSE 39 FOIL CGC 10.O FR FOR SALE ANYWHERE. TALES OF SUSPENSE #39 PURE SILVER FOIL COVER LICENSED AND PRODUCED BY MARVEL COMICS (MCU) CGC GRADED 10.0 PRISTINE MINT RARE FIRST RELEASE DESIGNATION (ESTIMATED ONLY + - 40 EXIST) SEE PHOTOS: THESE FOILS COME ORIGINAL IN A WHITE BOX AND IN A TIN HOLDER. TIN HOLDER HAS AN EMBOSSED COVER WITH TWO PAGES OF THE ORIGINAL COMIC BOOK PRINTED INSIDE. BACKSIDE OF TIN IS RED. THEN COVER FOIL IS REMOVED AND CGC GRADED LEAVING STORAGE / DISPLAY TIN EMPTY. INCLUDED WITH THIS SALE IS THIS FOILS ORIGINAL FULL COLOR COLLECTORS DISPLAY TIN HOLDER DEPICTING THE COVER AS WELL AS 2 PAGES FROM THE ORIGINAL COMIC BOOK. ORIGINAL WHITE BOX INCLUDED AS WELL. THESE TWO ITEMS ARE VERY IMPORTANT AS MANY FOILS ARE BEING SEPARATED FROM THEIR ORIGINAL SHIPMENT / DISPLAY TINS AND THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES AFTER CGC GRADING. VERY HARD TO FIND A FR CGC 10.0 WITH ITS ORIGINAL BOX AND TIN HOLDER. FIRST APPEARANCE OF IRON MAN TALES OF SUSPENSE #39 SILVER FOIL PRODUCED BY MARVEL COMICS GRADED 10.0 PRISTINE MINT AND ALSO WITH THE RARE "FIRST RELEASES" DESIGNATION. EACH FOIL INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED AT PRODUCTION FOR AUTHENTICITY. THIS IS NUMBERED FOIL # 199 OF APPROX 250 MADE OF THE ORIGINAL 1000 PRODUCTION LIMIT. CGC GRADE REGISTRATION NUMBER: 3741000026 SEE PICTURE OF CGC POPULATION CONTAINED HEREIN. SUPER LOW CGC POPULATION OF ONLY 81 GRADE 10.0'S AND APPROX 40 OR SO FIRST RELEASE 10.0'S. OF THE 81 CGC 10.0'S, ONLY A FRACTION OF THOSE 10'S ARE FIRST RELEASES DESIGNATION. CGC DOES NOT DISPLAY AND SEGREGATE THE FIRST RELEASES FROM THE REST OF THE POPULATION FOR EACH GRADE. THEREFORE IT'S NOT CURRENTLY POSSIBLE TO KNOW JUST HOW RARE THE FIRST RELEASE DESIGNATION IS. I ESTIMATE LESS THAN 40% OF THE 81 CGC 10.0'S ARE FIRST RELEASES. THE MARVEL DISTRIBUTOR ALSO CULLED MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE 10.0 FOILS AND SUBMITTED THEM TO CGC FOR FIRST RELEASE STATUS WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS OF MINTAGE. SO ITS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY A RAW VERSION NOW AND GET A 10.0 FROM CGC IF SUBMITTED. ALSO YOU CANNOT GET THE FIRST RELEASE DESIGNATION EITHER. THAT IS WHY THE 81 10.0'S IN THE CGC CENSUS IS LIKELY TO BARELY OR NEVER CHANGE. AS LOWER GRADES GET SENT IN TO CGC, YOU WILL SEE THE LOWER GRADE QUANTITIES RISE, BUT NOT THE 10.0'S. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE CGC CENSUS THAT THE 10.0 POPULATION HAS NOT CHANGED IN 5+ YEARS. THE GREAT NEWS IS THAT THERE WILL LIKELY NOT BE ANY ADDITIONAL 10'S GRADED BY CGC FOR THIS FOIL. BUT THERE WILL ABSOLUTELY BE NO ADDITIONAL 10.0 FIRST RELEASES GRADED AS THE FIRST RELEASE DESIGNATION IS ONLY FOR THOSE BOOKS / FOILS THAT ARE GRADED WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS OF THE PRODUCTS RELEASE DATE WHICH WAS IN 2020. MARVEL PRODUCED THUS FAR 5 OF THEIR ICONIC COMIC COVERS IN THESE FOILS AND EACH WITH A PRODUCTION LIMIT OF ONLY1000 WORLDWIDE. CGC CREATED A SPECIAL MARVEL LABEL FOR THESE FOILS AS WELL. THEY ALSO GRADE THEM THE SAME AS THEY GRADE THE BOOKS, USED THE SAME CGC HOLDER AS THE COMIC BOOKS, AND ARE TRACKING THE POPULATIONS AS WELL. DUE TO PRODUCTION AND QUALITY PROBLEMS, COVID ISSUES, ETC, SOME OF THE COVERS WERE PRODUCED CLOSE TO THE 1,000 MAX LIMIT, WHILE OTHERS WERE ONLY FRACTIONALLY PRODUCED. SEE BELOW: AMAZING FANTASY 15: APPROXIMATELY 950-975 PRODUCED AFTER DEDUCTING DAMAGES, ETC. AVENGERS 4: SAME AS ABOVE HULK 1: SAME AS ABOVE: AVENGERS 1: ESTIMATED ONLY 250-500 PRODUCED DUE TO PRODUCTION PROBLEMS. TALES OF SUSPENSE 39: ESTIMATED ONLY 250 PRODUCED DUE TO PRODUCTION PROBLEMS. THE TALES OF SUSPENSE 39 IS APPROXIMATELY 4X RARER IN OVERALL PRODUCTION THAN THE AF 15, AND IS APPROXIMATELY 5X RARER IN CGC 10.0 THAN THE AF 15, NEVER MIND FIRST RELEASE WHICH IS EVEN RARER. AF 15 SILVER FOIL CGC 10.0 FR ARE SELLING BETWEEN 1800-2500 NOW WITH FEWER AVAILABLE EVERYDAY IN THE SECONDARY MARKET. THIS TALES OF SUSPENSE 39 IS FAR RARER. AN INCREDIBLE INVESTMENT WITH LIMITLESS UPSIDE DUE TO THE INCREDIBLE LOW PRODUCTION, GRADE RARITY, THE FIRST RELEASE DESIGNATION, AND POSSIBLY ONE OF THE BEST DISPLAY ITEMS I HAVE EVER OWNED. IT'S AN ITEM TO BE BRAGGED ABOUT AND SHOWN OFF TO YOUR FRIENDS WHO IMMEDIATELY WANT TO KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM, ETC. GET ONE BEFORE THEY ARE NO LONGER AFFORDABLE LIKE EVERY OTHER HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THESE DAYS.
