As far as the later issues go, TTA 22 is definitely tough in higher grades.

I like the beauty of a high grade copy, but there is something really appealing about a solid lower grade book that speaks to the collector in me. I appreciate a well loved book that you can tell passed through a few owners’ hands and was enjoyed. KirbyJack and bc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucheee1 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 This one's a little rough as well … but it only cost a dime when I purchased it from a used book store back in the 70's. mysterio, bc, KirbyJack and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getoutandstayout Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Between TOS #1 and TTA #1, which should cost me less in, say, a 3.0-4.0 grade? Even at that low grade, it's going to push my budget to the edge. I wanted to try and get one of these before the ceiling went even higher. I can forget a JIM #1 or ST #1 - they're out of my league now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can forget a JIM #1 or ST #1 - they're out of my league now. The Strange Tales and Journey #1s are completely different kinds of comics than Astonish or Suspense 1. Atlas pre code horror vs. pre hero Marvel. I'd suspect that the Suspense 1 would fetch a bit more than Astonish 1, simply because Suspense is a more collected title. It will all depend on the individual book, of course. They're close. bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can forget a JIM #1 or ST #1 - they're out of my league now. Just looking at GPA for these two issues: TTA 1 - CGC 3.0 = $1,076 TOS 1 - CGC 3.0 = $1,020 So you can take your pick -bc PS - ST 1 in CGC 3.0 is about double that at $2.040 and JIM 1 is CGC 3.0 is triple at $3,227.
