Set Description:

At the moment, this set will only feature the four recent issues to be graded: Iron Man Volume 1: Numbers 96, 97, 99, and 101. Evenutally, I will submit my childhood collection which I bought fresh from the newsstand racks, back in the day. But as you can imagine, this will take time, patience, and money.

Owners Notes: I bought this particular issue sometime in the mid-2000's from a now defunct Local Comic Shop called Rick's Comic Cave once located in Forest Hills, Queens, New York. I can't remember what exactly I paid for it... I believe about five bucks or so. Although the condition is less than desired, I am nonetheless happy that the page designation is White.

Slot:	Giant-Size Iron Man 1
Item:	Giant-Size Iron Man 1
Grade:	CGC
Cert #:	0201240001

Owner Comments
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Publication Date: 1975
Age: Bronze Age
Writer: Stan Lee
Artists: Steve Ditko, Don Heck, Gil Kane, Mike Esposito (credits according to Marvel Database on Wiki, no mention of Frank Giacoia)
Grade: 6.5 (Fine+)
Grade Description: An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Eye appeal is slightly reduced because of light surface wear and the accumulation of small defects, especially on the spine and edges. A FINE+ comic book appears to have been read a few times and has been handled with moderate care.
CGC Key Comments: Only Issue
Additional Key Comments: Reprints Stories from Tales of Suspense 49 (Angel), Tales of Suspense 57 (Hawkeye), and Tales of Suspense 58 (Captain America).
Submission Date: October 12, 2012 (NY Comic Con)
Grade Date: January 24, 2013
Owners Notes: This issue reprints a collection of stories from the 60's Tales of Suspense featuring Iron Man and his encounters with Captain America, Hawkeye, and original X-Man The Angel. I bought this particular issue sometime in the mid-2000's from a now defunct Local Comic Shop called Rick's Comic Cave once located in Forest Hills, Queens, New York. I can't remember what exactly I paid for it... I believe about five bucks or so. Although the condition is less than desired, I am nonetheless happy that the page designation is White... and that's something of a rarity for a grade at 6.5.
