According to my review thread above, I paid $11.50 and $4.50 for the two issues I bought, but I have no idea if that's typical.

There's a lot of stuff from before my time that I really like -- Roy Thomas and Steve Englehart's respective Avengers runs, Jim Shooter's first Legion of Super-Heroes run, Stan Lee & Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four...
And as I said before, I think I'll focus on #50-52, since they're so integral to the Titans mythos and there's so many female characters: Donna, Duela, Karen, Lilith, Bette...

Your reasoning for picking #50 to #52 makes sense. In terms of art, those issues are my least favorites. I never was a fan of Don Heck's style.
One of the best in terms of art and story, for me, is issue #45. Irv Novick's work is stylish and moody. This is the story where Mal receives the mystical Gabriel's horn. With time, this development has has come to be viewed as kind of silly. This is due, in part, to the garish Hornblower costume that was introduced later. The garish costume is thankfully absent from the early stories. The bad guy is realistic with a compelling motivation.

I know some of these have appeared in part in some of LASH's posts. Maybe elsewhere, too. No harm in posting them again, though, right? In case anyone wants to check them out... five "disco era" Titans links, courtesy of Scans Daily.

I don't have any of the issues where they're operating out of a disco. Some of the later ones, yes. I'm more fond than I really need to be re: 46. (The Woodworkers! The Flyers!) It's not great, it's not awesomely bad, but it is entertaining. Go figure.
PS: I recall laughing at Ester for shelling out the bucks for 45. I had just found a pretty good copy in a 50 cent box.
