It's hard to find so many high grade raw books anymore!

 

Soon I'll be able to post my latest TTA here...

As soon as it shows up!

[Genesis Comics]

The TTA 82 9.6 Boston just sold for 1201.00 on c-links auction...I bid over 900.00 (200+ more than I thought it was worth (to me anyway) and I wasn't even close...yikes!!

Anyone here get it??? Sully?? Korvac???

 

Maybe it's time to sell

[Mo Fun]

Very nice run nochips! Wow, are there really over 300 people on the Silver board like my computer says? I've never seen this many on the board, cool!

Just a Good range book with the bottom staple popped but it was nice to finally read the only Ant-Man issue I've never read yet.

 

Dumb Marvel had the Ants making honey.

[Korvac Saga]

Ya mean ants don't make honey? Stan's imagination was never in question, but his scientific knowledge at times was quite suspect Congrats on a nice key book

[Korvac Saga]

Not me!! $1201? That's about $800 more than I spent just a few months ago for my non-ped #82 9.6

[Korvac Saga]

I'm hoping to pick up some nice TTA's today so

I just need a VG range 40 to complete the run from 35 - 101 now.

 

Last one is always a toughy...

Sweet books!!!

[Korvac Saga]

Thanks Bill!! I can thank/blame Pym for this!! "Join the #59-101 set", he says never suspecting that my competitive nature would force me to keep buying ultra HG TTA's until the #1 spot was mine The TTA monkey is firmly on my back

[Guardian Comics]

It'd be a lot cooler if they were White Mountains

Korvac, you know it all makes so much sense.

It's a great set, and it looks like your pulling together one of the more premier runs together!

Though it's mindful to know, doing some quick sums, I think Doug tops out at about 25,000 points for his mostly PC run of 59-101. The rest of the mere mortals are squabbling around the half way mark of that total. Scary thought.

 

Though I did chuckle when he put his TTA #50 9.8 up in his general sale area a little while back. I think he put an asking price of $8,000 on it.

Now I not sure what noxious plants grow in Florida, but that day I reckon dougy boy had been smoking a good amount of them.

Oh ya, did anyone clock that sale of a TTA#93 9.6 on Pedigree the other week.

 

The price was a huge jump, but it looks like the guy at Socal comics sold his copy form the Hollywood hills collection for a similar amount a little while earlier. He'd been asking $3,200, and sold for $2,500. And then the copy on doug's site went for $2,850. Both copies were W pages, but the HH copy had a miswrap happening.

I know the issue has a Surfer tie in, but still it has to impact on the rest of the run to some dgree of another. As $3000 will get you a #59 in 9.6...hich is a hugely under rated SA key. Not to mention #60. They look like bargain prices in comparison to the #93.

But then you'd be bugging me to sell 'em to you
