As a native Minnesotan, I've wanted to keep a Twin Cities book in my collection at all times.  Here it is!

The colors are so pure.

Sweet!!! If I'm not mistaken, Archie Steve owned that book at one time. VERY nice copy of a hard to find book in grade!  :applause:

Would you know collection size and average quality? Is there an inventory?

I remember bidding on some of the books...

According to Heritage back when the collection was brought to market, they cited 6,000 books.  But I'd think it might have been even larger, going at least as far back as 1959 with a gorgeous Action #252 all the way through the Marvel picture frame era ending in 1973 and maybe beyond.  I don't think the DC collection was nearly as complete as the Marvel one.

Thanks for checking into that! That's quite a hefty sum of killer, high grade comics! Makes me dizzy just thinking about grading them all, but in a GOOD way! :ohnoez:
