BitterOldMan Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I checked on Heritage archives and noticed that Tales of Terror Annual #1 has been offered three times (only two are in the archive) and Shock Illustrated #3 has been offered five times with a 9.2 Gaines File copy offered twice. Only supposed to be 100 copies of Shock Illustrated #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I think TOT #1 is kept by everyone who finds one. Thus very few copies ever appear on the market. When I saw the contents of my copy, I knew I could not let it get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw the contents of my copy, I knew I could not let it get away. Richie Muchin had a copy at C2E2 in Chicago last month. It was a decent copy with some color touch. Not certain of contents...

N e r V Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 It is interesting how perception creates our reality. I have had a couple of opportunities to buy copies Tales of Terror Annual #1 but have only ever owned one once. On the other hand I have sold two or three copies of Shock Illustrated #3 and we just got another one, fvf, in (had it for sale at C2E2). I've always heard that the Shock is very rare, and whenever I have had one it has elicited many oohs and aahs, but for whatever reason I've been in the right place/right time to get them so they haven't seemed that rare to me. The Tales of Terror Annual 1 has been a super tough book for me to acquire so it seems rarer to me. But you are right, logically speaking it should be at least a little more available. Do you still have the copy of #3 and are you going to list it on your site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
