One of many that I've recently found in my father's attic.

Recent pick up from a board member

Sort of a TOS full table full quotes type key issue.

I never knew that the bottom panels were closed.  If the issue is centered upwards you get a full image at the bottom.

I've been looking for what feels like forever for a TTA #44 that didn't have pre-Marvel chipping on the right edge of the front cover or any smudging on the back cover...I know I probably overpaid a bit for it, but am happy to finally land this copy!

I haven't seen many either. I suppose they're locked away in collections.

I'd thought I'd go the source on this one, and look at GPA.  But the RM was released mainly through the Clink, so we're only seeing the non-clink books, or the second and onwards sales of the books.

First issue, TTA #59 CGC 6.5

#62 CGC 9.0,

#66 CGC 9.4

#67 CGC 9.2 

#67 CGC 9.8

#78 CGC 9.4

#79 CGC 9.6

#80 CGC 9.6

#82 CGC 9.8

#88 CGC 9.8

#92 CGC 9.8

#93 CGC 9.8

#94 CGC 9.4

#95 CGC 9.6

#96 CGC 9.8

#98 CGC 9.6

#99 CGC 9.8

#100 CGC 9.8

There's a lot of gaps there, but the usual RM quality is there kicking in fairly quickly from 1966 onwards.

Very cool of you to compile this info! Yes, I believe that you're correct on C-Link being the first to market the collection. When I get the opportunity, I'll buzz thru this thread to see if there are any posted here that aren't on your list.
