bc Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Nice pickups all! I really wanted to bid on that Strange Worlds #3, but needed to save my cash for this from last nights CLink auction: Just noticed that this came out the same month as Korvac's TOS22. -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And thanks for leaving the Strange Worlds #3 alone, apparently I need to send several boardies flowers.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Congrats bc, great book! I put a bit of a bid in on that one. What did it end up costing you? Great book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Thanks Bronty! The TTA24 in CGC8.5 set me back $976 (a wee bit more than tree fiddy). GPA has a 8.0 copy selling for $390 in 2012 and $311 in 2009. No data for anything higher than the two 8.0's as a guide. I was hopin' to snag it for around $800, but that was passed several hours before the closing bell (that's why I didn't bid on the Strange Worlds #3, JIM74 or ST99). The great cover centering & Off-white to White pages made the cost easier to digest. Plus I don't see any PH books in either the July or August CLink auctions yet, so I may have time to rebuild the funds over the summer. Take care, -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show, images from 3 of the top Str.Tales PH collections, that St 83 ranks as one of the most difficult issues in HG. No 9.0, 9.2 or 9.4's on this one. At least, not right now.
