Tremendous pick-up, Jim. Had I been given the chance to buy any of the White Mountain books, that one would've been on my purchase list.

You picked up some sweet books from Steve too, Bob. Love that ST #135 Mass copy and SS#1 BG!! Here's my TTA from Stephen:

 

 

The #2 copy, trailing a pair of 9.4's

[BEACHCOMBER]

First sub-#59 book for me..I know its a 9.4...but there are only 2 9.4's...no 9.6's..and only 2 9.8's

 

It is a Northland pedigree!!

Now that is a sweet book! I made an offer to Stephen for it (Bill - no comment please). As the book looks to be an absolutely stunning copy.

 

And it is quite difficult to locate in 9.6 grade, with Stephen's copy (now your's) making no.5.

It's presumed Tom Brulato has the 9.8, the WP copy, Doug has one OW 9.6 copy, you have one, so after mine that leaves 1 9.6 copy unaccounted for.

 

And still a book looking to emerge price wise (thumbs u

Hardest one to find without chipping.

I'm glad I got a FVF without chipping.

Thanks Brass!! Tough in grade AND tough w/o chipping. Doug has one of the 9.4's

5 copies in 9.2 or better, making TTA 46 a surprisingly tough book to find in high grade, but not ranking it in the top five. Current census lists as the toughest Marvel superhero books in 9.2 or better (less than 5 in census): TTA 35 with only 1 copy, FF 3 with only 2, JIM 84, JIM 90, ST 103, Hulk 1, Hulk 3, and TTA 36.

But it is about a year newer than those.

But it is about a year newer than those.

It is like ST 113, JIM 90 and JIM 95 in that regard, a book from mid-to-late 1963 with only 6 or fewer graded copies at 9.2 or better.

Some nicely reasoned perspective here. Thanks.
