Highlights:
-
Reed’s Galactic Guilt Trip: Mister Fantastic’s decision to revive Galactus (way back in #244) blows up in his face when the big G chows down on the Skrull homeworld. Oops—guess that’s what happens when you play cosmic doctor!
-
Galactus vs. Skrulls: The Devourer of Worlds turns the Skrull planet into an all-you-can-eat buffet, and the FF are stuck watching the universe’s messiest breakup.
-
Vision and Scarlet Witch Cameo Chaos: These Avengers pop in just as Reed vanishes—talk about bad timing! It’s like showing up to a party right as the cake explodes.
Current Value (April 2025):
This FF #257 at CGC 8.5 is rocking a market value of $50-$65—pretty tasty for a graded Bronze Age key with cosmic stakes. Ungraded near-mint copies go for $10-$15, but that CGC slab adds the shine of Johnny’s flames and the weight of Ben’s ego. It’s not a fortune yet, but it’s a solid flex for your shelf.

Expected Value Trends & Upcoming Events:
Stretch your wallet, because FF #257 could soar! The MCU’s Fantastic Four movie in 2025 is juicing up all FF issues, and this one’s a juicy chapter in the Galactus saga—Reed’s moral misstep here kicks off the “Trial of Reed Richards” arc. If the film dives into Galactus or Skrull lore, this could spike. The comic market’s at a projected $17.69 billion this year, and graded keys like this are collector candy. Expect a 20-30% jump around the movie hype—say, $65-$85—and if Galactus becomes the next big bad, this CGC 8.5 might hit $100+ in a few years. It’s a cosmic gamble with clobberin’ upside!
