I think retail is $150 for the set of two. At conventions you can probably find them cheaper. I think I got both of mine for either $100 or $120. The books are well worth the price. They are very high quality, and huge books. I think they are a must of any dedicated collector!

| There are 4 volumes Two for GA and two for SA Marvel. The SA Marvel books were subsequently combined into one book and is approximately the same thickness as a single GA volume. I found my GA volumes at Half-Priced Books and talked them down to $60 from the $75 they were asking and I got my Marvel volumes from a CGC forum member for $40. I ended up creating a sideline business offering mylar dust jacket covers because due to the size of them the propensity for the dust jackets to get torn and messed up is very easy.

| Tec 44 is a Gerber 4 Most knowledgable golden age collectors and dealers will tell you that when it comes to the Gerber scale that you should double the number of existing copies to have a better idea of what's in the marketplace. Keep in mind too that many of the Gerber ratings have been shown to be wrong either positive or negative as to scarcity.
