Up for sale is a Fantastic Four #259 (Marvel, October 1983) — the rare Canadian Price Variant (CPV), certified and slabbed by CBCS at 9.2 (Near Mint Minus).
CBCS Cert #: 16-2F4F1E4-010
Grade: 9.2 — Near Mint Minus
Pages: Off-White to White
Variant: Canadian Edition (Canadian Price Variant) — 75¢ cover price
Cover, Art & Story: John Byrne
Key Content: Dr. Doom & Terrax appearance; Silver Surfer cameo
Grading Notes: Edge bends to cover; small crease right front cover edge, barely breaks color
This issue features a classic John Byrne Doctor Doom cover — bold, striking, and one of the more visually memorable issues from his legendary FF run. The story delivers a heavy-hitter lineup with Doom, Terrax, and a Silver Surfer cameo to boot.
The Canadian Price Variant designation reflects the limited-distribution 75¢ newsstand copies produced for the Canadian market — scarcer than U.S. counterparts and increasingly sought by variant collectors.
This copy presents beautifully in the slab. Minor grading notes are consistent with the 9.2. Great display piece or upgrade candidate for any Bronze/Copper Age Marvel or Byrne FF collection.
Ships boxed and padded. Combined shipping available on multiple slabs.
