Wonder Woman from this era is impossible to find in grade...

 

I was wondering when someone would post some WWs in this thread. Very hard indeed!

Early Showcase...

we just got "bombed"!

Not sure if this qualifies as "high grade" but it's definitely a tough find. I remember spending the majority of my first year here on the boards trying to track down a copy of this book and I managed to obtain readers copy from a fellow board member (Hepcat, if I'm not mistaken) but I never came across a high grade until recently. I was fortunate enough to win this copy in the last Comic Connect auction:

 

 

Nice copy!! I like this cover, I picture Batman saying "Let Supes do the heavy work and we'll take the women!!"

No, that wasn't from me.

That's just not a book you see much. Just about never in high grade.

It seems to me that Unexpecteds are a bit more scarce than HOS, HOM, or MGA. Anyone else have an opinion on which of these series is scarcest?

 

Age adjusted I think the toughest of those titles would be My Greatest Adventure.

 

 

Here are a few more of my Tales of the Unexpected comics:

Wow, a BB blowout.

I agree with Hepcat that early MGA seem the hardest to find in HG. But, TOTU varies issue by issue, I have seem a number of real nice TOTU #2 around, but MGA 2 or 6, forget about it.

I agree! B-B's comics are always a pleasure to see.

Thanks guys, appreciated. It's nice to know other collectors enjoy my eclectic tastes.

Another 'early' Showcase....

 

[Bomber-Bob]

Always love an excuse to show some Wonder Woman.......

[Bomber-Bob]

The BB 27 is especially hard to find in grade for some reason, or at least it was for me.

[Bomber-Bob]

For some reason Aquaman issues in the teens are very difficult to find in high grade,

reflected by the CGC census.

 

[Bomber-Bob]

Someone else mentioned this book is difficult, I agree.

[Bomber-Bob]

And now for a completely different genre but very difficult to find in grade.

 

[Bomber-Bob]

I don't own the middle book anymore, T.H.E. Cat #1.
