I usually do my bidding in real time but the auction was slated to go way past midnight so I just set my proxy bids and woke up this morning to find out that I won TTA #1 and #4 but came in second place on TOS #1, 5, and 24. Am I remembering correctly that TTA #4 was considered hard to find? Edited June 25, 2019 by Sweet Lou 14 KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am collecting both cent and pence pre hero Marvel/Atlas comics from 1959 and forth. I am only missing Tales to astonish 28 pence and Journey into mystery 74 pence . Not rarer than the other pence variants, I just haven´t found them yet. So if anyone out there have a spare copy, please let me know.

Am I remembering correctly that TTA #4 was considered hard to find? First of all, congrats with the 2 very nice books. It still puzzles me a bit, how the TTA 4 can be in 7.0, considering the diagonal crease? - and yes TTA 4 is a tough one. Congrats.

Your copy certainly looks a lot nicer than mine -- both the black and the white of the background are really clean. I've generally stuck with 7.0 as my target grade for PHMs and I think a crease like the one on my copy can be acceptable for the grade. It just depends how nice the rest of the book is. mysterio and bc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTA #28 and JIM #74 aren't especially rare as you say, but they're all rare now so they kind of are if that makes sense.

I am fully aware that it may cause me some trouble obtaining these two issues. I actually had the chance of buying JIM 74 once. It was for sale a long time. But I wasn´t aware of its scarcity so I chose a cent instead. Damn. Well I guess every collector has his regrets.
