mysterio Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Very pretty books Dan! Depending on how hard they hammer the stain I could see 6.0 to 6.5 from the defects I see in the scan. I recently got a 6.5 back on a book that had humidity spotting. The colors on that #3 are just gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ST #88 is a big time keeper!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 thanks guys! yeah I was really happy with both books. That's my earliest TOS and while I'd like a nicer grade the eye appeal in hand is fantastic and I always have trouble finding nice strange tales books so they were both pleasant surprises. Thanks for the grade estimate Art. 6.0-6.5 was my first estimate as well but I guess I'm trying to be conservative and as I said I'm not sure what they will think of the discoloration. Hopefully you're right I was hoping to have no keeper lower than 6.0. Same table had a #1 with strong colors but around vg. From the same collection as #3 and this strange tales. Tempted but I want a higher grade keeper and a lower grade reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Nice books being posted lately. I'm determined to win a couple nice pre-hero books in the current Heritage auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgarthwaite-migration Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 My images are cropped for posting in a cover gallery, but pre-hero TTA were something I collected. Just a few... I have about 75% of the TTA run. Not high grade, but solid copies DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft-Serve Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Just bought these from zzutak this morning. Barely got 'em too by the looks of how fast everything sold out. Anyway, I'm very excited! I'm just starting up a pre-hero collection and these are my favorite to-date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
