So which is the first Teen Titans? This:

Or this?

I'm leaning to #60. That's where the "team" was actually created and named. Moreover let's face it. Without Wonder Girl, they're just not the Teen Titans!

Wasn’t looking for this but when it popped up for sale I had to grab it. Some of the best (and worse) purchases I’ve made have been spontaneous.

Bought for 25 cents each.   

How did you manage to buy them for 25 cents each? Was that a free promotional comic?

Sold a few in the $50-$100 range, and $150-$250 range.   I made my money back before the book died. 

Hmmmmm. So a few buyers paid $50-$250 for a $0.25 comic that was as common as spit just because it was encased in plastic and had a number on it? Well like they say "You can never go broke underestimating the intelligence of (at least) some buyers.
