TheAmazing R.J.S. Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Is this for real !!! you think a low grade copy should set you back maybe $300-$500 ! Is this due to a low print run ? or what ! Oh yeah movie forgot If prices keep coming up like this, I might just sell my TTA#13 copy for 5K or trade it in for AF15 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tales-to-Astonish-13-1960-Groot-Abominable-Snowman-/310720743268?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item4858664764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICK STARR Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I took my Fn+ copy of TTA 13 to the Chicago Con and got serious $ for it. It was the ONLY copy there! There may have been one in Moondog's collection, but of course no one ever got a chance to look at it or buy it. Here a few issues from that collection that I was able to hunt down from other dealers. And, of course, now at greatly increased prices. They all have very nice supple OW/W pages and bright colors and gloss. This one is not from the same collection, but a super copy courtesy of Superworld.

Bronty Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Very nice, congrats John! Don't be bitter about the TTA 13, I understand that will be auctioned publicly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 If anybody cares, I looked up census data with all the TTA 13 talk and showed that its no rarer than the other 11/60 issues, and similar to the other TTA issues in that range.

KirbyJack Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 As you said before, not rare as PHMs go, but fairly tough compared to the hero books. I'd love to cash in and sell my copy, but that ain't happening unless I find a spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I thought so? Surprising to me that a couple of people seem to be disagreeing but then maybe they have nice TTA 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterio Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Gorgeous books Mr. Starr! If the ST #93 and the TTA #22 were the copies at Dale's booth I looked at them and thought very seriously about the TTA #22. Fantastic pickups. I'm barely home, and will get my large pre-hero haul scanned and posted soon. I took pics of the three that are currently in Sarasota too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you did not take the TTA 22, very much needed as an upgrade and possible CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a stunning TOS #32 from him, and if I could have afforded both I would have tried for a package deal but my budget was on life support by that time. I've never owned that TTA, but the TOS was one I had been looking to upgrade for a long time. He had a ton of really pretty books, and I could have dropped thousands in his booth if I had had it to spend. Sorry I didn't get a chance to find you to say hello, it would be fun to organize some sort of meet and greet for pre-hero fans at one of these larger shows sometime.

There seemed to be a few very nice copies of TOS 32 at the show. Your copy, the MD collection copy(Harley) ,at least VF, and Superworld's copy again as nice or nicer than MD copy. Normally not an easy issue to find in HG. As far as your idea of PH collectors meeting up, count me in. Did meet DR.X and Bomber-Bob for the first times at the show.
