Tales of Suspense #49 VF+ : $1,500

Very undervalued issue and a tough one to find in high grade. Book was formerly a very early CGC 8.5 blue which I did crack to keep for my collection 20 years ago. I found a slightly better copy so this is my undercopy.

Unfortunately, I was not keeping labels during those early years so there is no label included. I agree with the grade though; it looks better from the front cover but there is something on back cover near the lower staple. It looks like a faint stain at first glance but it doesn't go through the cover and after looking at it carefully it rather looks like some kind of abrasion.

Tales to Astonish #82 VF+ : $100 SOLD VIA PM

Classic Iron Man vs Sub-Mariner battle story (continued from Tales of Suspense #80).

Looks NM- but very faint crease on the inside front cover. Hard to see but it's there. Maybe this could be pressed. Also, arrival date on front cover.

Tales to Astonish #49 former PGX NM- 9.2 with off-white pages: $1,400

1st app. Giant-Man. Great centering on this copy with a full Giant-Man's right foot

I did crack the book out of its slab and it is now raw and sitting in a Mylar but kept the label and it will be included with the book. However, I cannot show it here in order to comply with Board rules.

Also, the book was sold to me by a very reputable seller as originating from the Cleveland collection with a certificate although I have no proof of that and the issue number is not written in the certificate but it will also be included with the book for what it worth but I trust the seller that this is accurate.

Finally, I think that this book has been pressed.

Tales to Astonish #42 F/VF: $125

Look better but has tear below the issue number square, from the "H" of Astonish to the edge.

[pickycollector]

Tarzan #70 F/VF: $15

Russ Manning art on "Brothers of the Spear"

[pickycollector]

Tarzan #155 VF+ : $12

Structurally NM- but has tanning line along right edge of front cover and along left edge of back cover.

Featuring awesome art by Russ Manning and re-telling the origin of Tarzan. The art and story alone worth the low $12 price.
