Today's mail call, courtesy of Reece's.  They graded these 8.5 to 9.2, although they are raw.  Wanted to get a sense of their grading.

Nice copy!

TTA in general is a tough run to assemble, and the key issues are particularly difficult.

Let me know if you find a #78 in 9.4, thanks.  That book is completely impossible to track down -- only 8 exist in grade.

For sure, I live in the F/VF end of the pool so will be glad to keep an eye out.

That's one of the first several ASM's that I purchased off the rack. I still remember the first time I saw it as a kid...  it was a true "WOW" moment. I was hooked with # 64, but my first was 58 ... they just kept getting better. GOD BLESS...

Love those stories man! 58 was out in 1967 so you go back a long way. Do you remember where you bought them?

[jimjum12]

A place called "The Newstand" in Raleigh, NC ... but I could be wrong on the name. It was near North Hills Mall. It sold Newspapers, paperbacks, Magazines, Hard Covers .... not sure what else, the comics were at the front ... Maybe a 6' by 15' section of wall. There were a LOT to choose from. They were real popular back then. GOD BLESS....

Well I might as well cross-post this here too, since I bought it just yesterday!

Got a big box off the UPS truck today...

I finally got around to upgrading one of the most important, and best, key books out there. Please leave if you disagree with this tall fact.

Perhaps I'll get one higher than 9.2 someday (anybody got 9.6/9.8?) but for now this should suffice....especially since it now has company on display.

That's a tall order! 

Congrats!

That's so damn cool! I've never seen a stilt man figure before. Do the legs retract? Is there a DD figure from the same series?
