You've got a lot of sci-fi in there! Not a bad thing.

The content of your Two-Fisted annuals EXACTLY matches mine. Makes me guess that most will. 

Anyway congratulations on that beautiful, impressive set! They look magnificent all together like that!

I just got my Tales Of Terror Annual #1 back from CGC with the contents on the label. I was somewhat disappointed by the contents.

One #1, one #2 and two #3s - not bad but not as good as Robotman's.

@Moondog So Robotman’s is better than my TOT#1? You must be blind!🥺

First off, that isn’t my copy not that I wouldn’t be proud to own it. Moondog knows the contents of my copy because I bought it from him. I have stated what mine contains. I’m sorry mine isn’t encased in a plastic holder. If you want to pay for it, I might consider sending it in...

You guys are talking past each other - Moondog wasn’t be rude, he was just pointing out that Robot Man’s annual contains all #1 issues, considered more desirable and much rarer than David’s listed content.

I think David misunderstood Gary’s comment, his copy is clearly superior grade-wise to Robot Man’s copy.

Which copy is preferable is up to each individual collector.

@Robot Man I’m sorry because it’s not too often that someone starts saying that someone’s copy is better than your copy. I just saw your name at the top and you were actually quoting someone else’s photo. I looked at yours and it could very well be better than mine. But to be fair it would have to be graded unless the difference was very clear.

For sure @Robot Man has better contents.

I was quoting the post you made to Moondog. NOT my copy. Yeah mine has better contents than yours so what? I’m not strutting around about it. I didn’t bring it up. As far as the grade, I think we are tied. As far as grading it goes, I have no plan to do so in the immediate future. So you can just wonder. Who cares?

I wouldn’t have brought up anything had Moondog not started this!!! I don’t care if you ever have your book graded either. That would be your decision to make.

Here's the goofy part to all this, my comment said your copy was pretty good!  I love it!  The contents aren't as "good" as Robot Man's in that his has three #1's and one #2.  As has been stated, I know that because I owned it.  Back in the day (mid-70s through the late 80s) hard core EC collectors ranked annuals by content, not just cover grade.  That's why I kept "upgrading" my copy over the years (I had 4 different).  I always wanted four #1's but could never find one (if one exists).  No criticism for your book!  :foryou:
