Description: CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS #1 FIRST LIMITED SERIES, MANY FIRST APPEARANCES, KEY!. 1982 Bronze Age Classic issue! The very first Limited Series Marvel ever put out! First Appearances by Defensor, Shamrock, Blitzkrieg, Titanis, Xaphan, Collective Man, Captain Universe, Talisman, and Peregrine. Also features Death, the Collector and the Grandmaster. This copy has some very light flaws to note: moderate spine wear with mild spine ticks. Back cover on the lower bottom there are a few very tiny surface scrapes. Bottom left corner has fold crease but with no real color break. Sporadic and very superficial surface indents and impressions. Back cover remains white, interior pages are off-white (OWL chart). Top left corner is slightly rubbed, but most corners are pretty nice. This copy lays flat and is firm at the staples. A very "clean" copy, no writing, no soiling, no major folds or creases. This copy presents beautifully in the Very Fine area. Using Overstreet Guidelines, I grade this copy 8.0 VF. Mycomicshop.com has copies at 8.0 priced $20.00.
