    Ah yes, the CSS 1 (but with blacked out HOF info in the indicia.) That IS indeed scarce but IMO is not needed for a full run, vs. a "normal" issue of CSS 1. Yep, Canadian WSS are very tough -- but I believe even compared to them, the Tales of Terror annual #1 is king of the toughies. I'd love to own one but not expecting to; however I will one day get a first Vault and first Haunt. :-)

    Then you have the case of the EC magazine Shock Illustrated #3. Only 100 existed. Not technically a comic book but on par with TOT #1 as the rareist EC. I have never owned one or even seen a copy in person. 

    Haunt #15 is available occasionaly if you have the funds. I have seen 3 or 4 in the past year. Vault #12 is a bit of a challenge though. I think I've seen one for sale in the past year. Again, if you have the dough and aren't picky about condition...

    Larryw7, I too have noticed a lot of MA #22 out there, for whatever reason it's an available issue, like some GA issues tend to be. Got my copy awhile ago (I wish MA 7, 9 and 11 were as available! Need those.)

    As far as CSS 15 (1) I assume Ron means the first Haunt of Fear #15 (1) -- yep, need that one still. Vault #12 (1) was always (since I first studied EC's) supposed to be the toughest of the New Trend horror trio (not counting any of the annuals, #1 and 2 being of course ridiculously tough.) And while TFTC #20 is the first TFTC, I really start that run with Crypt of Terror 17(1) through 19(3) in my mind, to me TFTC 20 has always been essentially the 4th issue. Then there's CP 15 and 16, have those as part of my Crypt run, but they aren't, kinda. :)

    There two versions of Crime Suspense #1. One with #15 and one with #1. The #1 version is fairly available. I have only seen one #15. Maybe ECed can chime in here. And talk about rare, there are 3 issues of Weird Suspenstories from Canada. Good luck with those...

    Did I miss something?....looked like he won the CoC 23....then thought he didn't for some reason and changed his post, maybe because Robotman posted a comment about it before him, but it wasn't a take.

    Sorry, I didn't take it. Was just commenting on how cool it was. Sorry if I messed you guys up.

    Which one do you need?

    Strange Mysteries 21. It's a beater but the last one I need for the run. Odins got it but very graciously said I could have it if I wanted it. VERY cool gesture. So many great people here on these boards!  (worship)
