Set Description
Synopsis: We have only recently started collecting FFs up to issue #200-and still have a ways to go at that. So this is nowhere close to a complete set. Currently, we lack 6 issues to complete the books from #103-200 in 9.8.
Background: I initially just described this set as a few scattered issues Tripps may have owned back in the 90s in his journey towards amassing the world's greatest comic collection.
In 2020, we may have progressed a little from a few scattered issues, but this set is nothing like a complete FF run, and quite honestly, that has never been our objective. Initially, we were only interested in the Lee/Kirby run, but then started picking up a few random covers we liked above #102. Quite frankly, the books over #102 seem a little pricey to us for their age, but we do still buy the 9.8s when the price is right. But the later books have never been a priority, just an area where we look for decently priced acquisitions. We may eventually try to extend the run to #1-200, but again, it is a low priority at the present time. We would also be open to selling the later books.
2022 Update: We have continued to pick up 9.8s between #103-#200, although we often miss them because of price. I am not sure why, but these books continue to seem overpriced to us based on the age and census. Currently, we still lack nine books to complete the set through Issue #200. Those books are not a huge priority, but if the price is not too crazy, we would like to pick up some more.
