Mr. Hog Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I have a copy of TTA 13 with an unusual stamp of some sort on the Back cover, upper right. Anybody ever see this before ? Monkey stamp. Yeah that's a common one and detracts horribly. Pm me your ask price. If they were in a barrel I'd offer more. I tend to agree, detracts horribly... Wait... Guess it's too late. Had I only jumped on the band wagon a few days ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Anybody win the TTA #1 artwork? I tried to get interested but I couldn't quite get pumped enough to spend the money. Real cool though and I really like the different look kirby gets with Chris Rule inks, especially Kirby/Rule covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I followed them, but after each page crossed the $1000 mark that crushed my dreams. I have meant to check the final prices but haven't. They are really cool pages with a great look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 They ranged from about 1300- to 5k fortthe splash. Reasonable but a big turtle isnt quite the kirby monster oomph of later issues. I bid 1500 on a page that ended at 1500 so I guess I did almost win one but not quite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 So the thread about best acqusitions of 2012 gave me the idea to see what the denizens of the pre-hero thread thought were your best 5 pickups of the year (they are doing 3 in CG, that is too limiting). Mine were (in loose order): The biggest book off my pre-hero want list this year. So tough to find in grade, my second best pre-hero pickup of 2012 and the last book I needed for the run (thanks to marvel_runs for this beauty, plus a few others he was kind enough to sell me). Currently my highest graded pre-hero book, picked up on eBay for around $300 less than a previous sale of this exact copy, so I was pretty happy! I always wanted a White Mountain pre-hero, and finally got one : Last but not least, another eBay pickup that is fairly difficult to find in grade. I narrowed my collecting focus during 2012 and pre-hero is more of a primary emphasis now, so I was fortunate to pick up some great books this year (I could have snuck a couple more into this list). Bronty certainly deserves a shout-out for hooking me up with an upgrade to my AA #2, and BAF has helped fuel my addiction to these books by buying a couple of my undercopies. This is one of my favorite threads to hang out in and contribute to, and I appreciate all my fellow pre-hero bretheren. Thanks again for another great year! So let's see your favorites from 2012!
