Marvel Mystery Comics #nn 132-Page Issue Variant (Timely, 1943) CGC VG+ 4.5 Off-white pages. At the top of most Timely collectors' wish list is this super-rarity from 1943. Overstreet states that there are only "5 copies known to exist" of the "regular" version of the issue, and that this variant is "possibly scarcer"! The Photo-Journal Guide to Comic Books concurs, rating it a "10" or "Unique" (or "close to it"). CGC has certified merely two copies to date, the other a lesser-graded GD/VG 3.0. We have previously offered two uncertified copies of the issue: one in 2006 in VG+ that realized $28,680; and another uncertified copy in 4.0 in 2007. This is a giant 132-page square bound, with blank inside covers and differs from the "regular" version with its interior, which features Captain America Comics #22 and Marvel Mystery Comics #41 in their entirety. Alex Schomburg's cover is just another reason to covet this one. CGC census 7/10: 1 in 4.5, none higher.
