As a general question, do you think Atlas comics from the 1950's are tougher to find than Timely comics from the 1940's these days?

I'd say that certain Atlas Comics are likely to be tougher to find than most any Timely Comics, mostly because the Atlas output was quite a bit more substantial (or so it seems to me) than Timely's output. I believe at one point in the 50s, Atlas had 30-35 some odd titles on the stands per month. I don't think Timely ever had anywhere NEAR that many out per month. I'm just going by memory and my perception, I'm not sourcing that to be certain. That's just my

That's really too broad of a question; some Atlas titles seem common, others are rarely seen.  As a horror collector, I can tell you that for example, pre-code  Journey into Mystery is a tough run to complete, as is, to a lesser extent, Strange Tales.  But issues of Marvel Tales, Suspense, and Spellbound often pop up.

I hope West won't mind if I use his idea from the Timley thread to start one for the Atlas books. I love these because of the history and turmoil they were born from. Post away, here's my only copy for the moment, been shown many times before by what the heck I love it.

Haven't look at the census lately but this has to be one of the toughest in high-grade. I know there are a few raw copies out there but rarely if ever do you see 7.0+ hit the market. I eventually cracked this one out and when I did sell it a dealer bought it. Miss this copy.

For you Atlas lovers in the house, Bob at www.highgradecomics.com just got in a huge PCH collection of slabs, with tons of Atlas. Prices seemed reasonable. Please proceed in an ordinary fashion, No stampeding or trampling. GOD BLESS ...

Great colors on this one, congrats! 
This one also has the first use of “Dracula Lives!” which Marvel reused in the 70’s for their black and white magazine title.
