Description: Tales of the UNEXPECTED #79 Featuring . . . SPACE RANGER and MYRA MASONin a very STICKY situation!!and a full-page ad for FLASH Annual #1 An October/November 1963 issueGRADED 9.4 (with WHITE pages) by CGC!! And, as of 7/27/24, this is one of only 4 copies EVER to earn a 9.4 Grade from CGC, and CGC has NEVER graded ANY copy of this issue higher!! Since CGC has classified this one as having WHITE pages, there can be no higher designation for a 9.4 copy of Tales of the UNEXPECTED #179, making it TIED for BEST CGC-graded copy!! According to the website GPAnalysis for CGC Comics, only TWO copies of this issue graded 9.4 have EVER been recorded as being sold! This may be your ONLY opportunity to own a SUPER-RARE 9.4 copy of this issue!! Cover by BOB BROWN andArt by PHIL KELSEY, GEORGE ROUSSOS & HOWARD SHERMAN!! See below for complete information on the condition of this beautifully-preserved classic issue Long term storage in a Mylar bag with an acid-free boarduntil submission to CGC in November of 2018!! This issue was bagged and boarded since purchase and (since 1990, when I learned about the superior results attainable with archival storage products and moved my entire collection into those products) it was preserved in a thick archival Mylar bag with a heavy-weight acid-free board, and stored in my smoke-free, pet-free, climate-controlled home. It was removed from its Mylar bag for the first time to be graded by CGC!! I submitted it to CGC to be graded and encased and it was returned, with an 9.4 Grade, in late January of 2019 (also, as of 7/27/24, this issue stands out as a true CGC RARITY. Only 23 copies have ever been graded and just TEN have gotten a grade higher than 8.5! Considering its age - you can be sure that VERY FEW of those graded copies have WHITE pages like this one does!) This copy, both before and after processing by CGC, has NEVER spent a single day in an attic, basement or storage unit, (and it NEVER will as long as I own it!).Thanks to careful handling, and long-term storage in Mylar, and despite being more than SIX DECADES old, this issue STILL looks SPECTACULAR, especially in its brand new CGC holder with a Universal label specifying that it still has WHITE pages, to go with that SUPER-high 9.4 grade!! Note that the photos used in this listing are not stock images. They are images of the exact copy being offered for sale. The photos show the covers, the CGC Grade and creator/content details, and all the corners, ends and edges of the BRAND NEW CGC case. Check out other CGC-graded copies - of ANY 61 year-old comic graded 9.4 with WHITE pages - that have been sold or are available for sale and compare their pix to the ones in this listing, and you'll see for YOURSELF that this is a particularly GREAT looking copy, looking close to BRAND NEW and fully worthy of the 9.4 grade that it earned!!
