Great run! Always liked the MT 21 with its surrealistic white cover. Dragged my heels picking one up years ago as I was focused on other books. Wish I had picked one up when I had a better chance!

 

I've been telling myself that a lot lately ...

I picked up this low grader on Sunday at Terry O'Neils con. Finished off my run of Mystery Tales!

Congratulations on completing such an impossible run! :applause:

 

May we see a group shot? :wishluck:

 

I have photos of all but #19 which I didn't have when I took these shots. But here's the rest of the pre-code ones: They are in need of some upgrading but I'm just glad to have them all.

I just saw the JIUW 18, I think it is shown in the sothebys catalog when some of these sold back then. Maybe it last sold 20 years ago?

 

Have to check tonight, great book.

 

Just looked it's Referenced and was sold in the 1991 Sotheby's auction, but not shown in the catalog.

That Venus 16 is off the scale nice. You rarely see any issues of Venus in higher grades.

Here are two recent acquisitions from Ebay.

The Spellbound 23 has been a long time coming to acquire a nice decent copy.

Need this one to help complete my precode MT run. Getting close.
