RICK STARR

Some real beauties here, thanks for sharing.

Great books being posted. I am drooling over that ST 76 8.0, wow!!!

I have never had a complete run of this title. Congrats!

Thought I'd post a few that I have not shown in years. Another 8.5 as highest graded. From the Edenwald collection. Just an incredible compilation of PHM books, mostly all in top condition. The scarcer 12 cent variant. I have a raw copy of the regular issue.

My pleasure. hey, this is fun!

Well, I'm on a roll here. More of my fav title. Hard to believe, but this one and the #77 are third highest grades at 8.0. Kirby classics. Highest graded copy at only 8.5! Probably had a low sales total. A rather drab and somewhat campy Kirby cover. This guy can sure hold his breathe, not to mention a high tolerance to cold. Sorry guys, I cannot seem to delete the extra images., so, will move on to ST # 99 Bethlehem copy and highest grade. Got this from one of out boardies who sold out a few years ago. Much appreciated, Bill for this beautiful copy.

Gorgeous copy with wp to boot!

Thanks, bc. You and a few others have kept this thread afloat, lately. Kudos!! Here are a few more I had time to scan.

Here are a few JIMs' from my collection.

I also love the fact that is still in an old slab.

Yeah, been absent lately. Just need to get off my butt and scan some issues for posting.

I think the Strange tales title maybe my favorite. From #75 on, just issue after issue are fantastic.

This issue was the first prehero I owned. A well read copy from a local used book shop.

Hello Mollie, All the St.John romance titles with Matt Baker art and covers are extremely under pointed!!! I could give dozens of examples via the major auction houses and Ebay sales. They are some of the hottest selling books in the market right now. These titles need 5-8X increases. Cinderella Love 15, 25-29 Diary Secrets, Pictorial Romances, True Love Pictorial, Teenage Romances, Teenage Temptations, Wartime Romances, Giant Comics Editions 9, 12, 13, 15, Going Steady. Thanks for any of your time.

Strikingly beautiful book. The Newton rings dilemma with CGC is a real problem. My last small batch of books almost all had them. I will not submit anymore books to be slabbed until they solve this.

Welcome to the boards, Ron. I should be meeting up with Johnny next month at Balticon. Hope you recovering well from the surgery! JT

Here is mine. I had the Bethlehem copy for awhile 20 years ago. A boardie now proudly owns it.

Fresh back from Sarasota.

Incredible!!

Go for it! No risk, no reward.
