RICK STARR Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Recently ended Clink auction had 3 HG books of interest. TTA# 1 (CGC 8.0) $ 5750 TTA #30 (CGC 9.8) $ 4000 Str. Tales # 90 (CGC 9.4) $ 2066 The TTA 30 was discussed previously on this thread. What do you think? Sold too cheap, about right?? I predicted around 5K. The TTA30 just doesn't generate any enthusiasm, a mediocre cover. TTA # 1 , holy *&%$. This book has just exploded in past 12-16 months. The ST 90, I thought would go for more. Str. Tales in that grade are just impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales in that grade are just impossible. The TTA 30 price seems about right for one of the more non-distinct PH issues...the ST 90 HG copy is truly rare but another fairly non-distinct issue... Righteous copy of the TTA 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I didn't even bother with this auction as I figured all three books would go for more than I wanted to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.J Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I am in the market for a TTA #1, based on this price it will have to be a 2.0 - 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 well, I am not buying as much lately as I've got other things going on right now in my collecting, but I got this one out of the way, so to speak. I'm not a fan of either this book to be honest, but since I go for 7.5+ and OWW+, I figured this was the cheapest I was ever going to be able to get a copy that fulfilled my requirements Really nice book. If it's the same book I saw on the Boards I almost went for it myself. Even if you are not a fan, it's a good investment book = you won't have any trouble moving it. Congrats !

Bronty Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 yeah, it was just on the boards a day or two ago for 800 bucks. I figured that wasn't too bad considering the (from my perspective unfortunate) demand on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Awesome pickup on the ST #97 Dan! Recently ended Clink auction had 3 HG books of interest. TTA# 1 (CGC 8.0) $ 5750 TTA #30 (CGC 9.8) $ 4000 Str. Tales # 90 (CGC 9.4) $ 2066 The TTA 30 was discussed previously on this thread. What do you think? Sold too cheap, about right??

Str. Tales in that grade are just impossible. agree totally. Perhaps this auction being so weak on PH hurt it? I know I didn't even bother with this auction as I figured all three books would go for more than I wanted to pay I thought the 9.8 TTA #30 could/would do a lot more than $4000. For a 9.8 pre-hero to do only double the 9.4 price of that ST #90 seems more than a little out of whack considering the rarity of 9.8 pre-hero books. But, perhaps the fact that it was a fairly nondescript book hurt it. The TTA #1 price was healthy but also seems cheap to me. If I had that money to spare I would have paid that price in a heartbeat for that copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Adam, your TOS 32 ...... words fail me, gorgeous. How many WM PH copies do you have? The TTA 1 is a very good investment even at 5.7K. This issue is only going up and up being a key number one issue. I do no think there a many other unknown HG copies lurking out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICK STARR Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Wish I could help you guys with your want lists. But, no can do. Prior to the Heritage, Clink and ComicConnect auctions, in many cases in order to have a shot at HG PH books, you could shop through a catalog like this one from 2003. Marnin Rosenberg presents here a very nice catalog chock full of not only PH marvels, but oodles of PCH from the Bethlehem, Spokane and other pedigree collections. Feast yer' eyes on these , mateys.

Bronty Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 amazing, but... some of those prices seem very aggressive for the time. I mean, I bought my ST 89 in the same grade, with better PQ, 10 years later, for only $300 more? (some of the other prices seem more reasonable for the time, but overall they seem high for 10 years ago!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK STARR Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) But, I am willing to bet everything sold out. Some books, maybe prices were negotiated, but not many. Edited March 3, 2013 by RICK STARR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
