SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Issue #3 features the Origin and first appearance of Chronos, as well as the first Time Pool story. While this is the lowest graded book in our set, it is still the best available of this rare first Time Pool issue. It is the third copy of this issue we have owned, as we started with the Rocky Mountain 9.0, which we upgraded to a WP 9.2 and finally to this Twin Cities copy. Our 9.4 was tied with just one other copy for highest graded; however, we also owned that book and in the process of reholdering it, CGC discovered that it had missed a small piece of tape in its first grading, so this book is now the sole 9.4 and single highest graded book in the census. We acquired the book, along with our Atom #1 9.8, in April 2023 in a private transaction from a friend and fellow collector. It remains one of our favorite Atom covers.
