Tales To Astonish #44 Club - Meet the Flying Wasp!

[porcupine48]

I'm gonna have to dig,but my 2.0 was only a quarter....a quarter century ago...

[Skhambati]

Thanks guys for all your kind comments. Do you think hope van dyne will take over the mantle of the wasp? I really like Evangeline Lilly playing her.

Here it is!!

 

9.4... What a beauty!

[jreezy]

That 9.4 is so beautiful!

[Skhambati]

Nice looking 4.5 ending on ebay in less than an hour if anyone is interested.

I love this book...walked into my LCS a few years ago and this copy was there for sale for $30.00. I snagged it having seen very few copies for sale. She's a solid mid-grade copy.

 

 

 

 

Man, must have caught the graders on a bad day! That looks waaaaay better than a 5.0! Is there water damage on the back? What are we missing here?

 

No water damage, it has a faint sub crease that you can barely see, and just general wear. I graded it a 6.0 myself. May have just been a bay day.

Thanks! You're sporting an enviable collection in your sig line as well. Especially that Saga RRP.

 

Now if only Boboset would pop back by and update the club....

Nice 6.5. Congrats

[Boboset]

I updated the list everyone.

 

@Walt- I placed your copy in the raw area because it's graded by the other company. Hope you are cool with that.

 

Very nice copies folks and welcome to the club!

Thanks for updating the list

[Skhambati]

Good news. I think Hope van dyne will be the new wasp. Look at Evangeline Lilly Instagram haircut photos on the set. Definite JVD look.

Perfectly understandable.

 

Mine is graded at 5.5 off white.

 

Years ago, someone told me that this issue was extremely hard to find in grade, and they also told me that ASM #50 was in the same boat. Which naturally made me start hunting them both. That person (whomever it was) apparently was right. The best #44 I could find at conventions I attended, was this one. So I bought it. I think I paid something like $14.00.

 

That was pre-internet time.

 

I also bought an 8.5 ASM #50, for around $14.00 at the same convention.

 

So, in a nutshell. The TTA #44 in 5.5. Cost me the same as an ASM #50 in 8.5.

 

Which says something about this issue.

Nice 4.5 ending on ebay in 1 hour.

[Jaydogrules]

Nice 4.5 ending on ebay in 1 hour.

 

That seems to be about the highest grade consistently offered on the bay as of late.

[Skhambati]

Agree. Anything over 5.0 is rarely seen. Tough book to get in high grade. Also with the ant man news and wasp excitement no one wants to sell

[Skhambati]

Looks like prices are going up!! A 6.5 sold for $1000 and a 4.5 for $650

[DR.X]

You are right the 7.5 is worth 1600

I think it should be worth much more

 

I hope so. I think this came from Ken Pierce's shop in Richton Park Ill so I know I didn't pay more than four or five bucks for it. Sat in my boxes of death for over 30 years at least till I sent it in.
