You guys have the most amazing selection of pre-hero MarvelAtlas books in this auction. The likes of which I've never seen - and none of them even get a mention in any of your letters :screwy:

COMICLINK · November 14, 2011

In the second paragraph below the major highlights, it does say "Pre-Hero Marvels in the Near Mint range". Guys who are looking will know to check Amazing Adventuers, Amazing Adult Fantasy, Journey, Strange Tales, TOS and TTA titles, etc. That was the assumption anyway. Perhaps we should break them up. Anyway, you are right, the selection of Near Mint range pre-heros which are very rare, is great in this particular auction.

By the way, some of the pre-heroes are separated out and mentioned individual within our CGC Graded Comic Book Highlights sample page posted to the web site.
