mysterio Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Need Tos 32 Need Need Need I know how you feel. I need just TTA #4 to complete the run! I need a TTA #4 as well, and have for over 20 years. IMO, that is the toughest book in the four main pre-hero titles, bar none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I believe you, but I'd be happy with one of the beaters that spring up on ebay. I've missed on 3 different copies lately due to...ahem... budget constraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I actually bought a couple from Marnin on your list. Good times. You really had to want the book badly to pay Marnin prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Marnin once told me I was his "best customer" in the early and mid-90s. With the number of pre-heros and DC Sci-Fi I bought from him, I am sure I was one of his major benefactors back then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 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!). ....I remember those listings and I thought the same at the time....but the books just kept slowly getting snapped up. Marnin sure would turn up some tight stuff in the day. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korvac Saga Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I actually bought a couple from Marnin on your list. Good times. You really had to want the book badly to pay Marnin prices. +1 I bought a bunch of books from Marnin in the last 4 or 5 years, many of which are still in my collection. He'd work a little with you on price, especially if you were buying a few books. Very strict grading + several books came back from CGC higher than Marnin's grades.

RICK STARR Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Nah, you don't want that copy, it has "61" written on the cover in ink. But, I will gladly take it off his hands for a much reduced price. Edited March 5, 2013 by RICK STARR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
