Phantom Lady #23 in 8.0 just sold for $9,900! http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=416754

My copy.

No doodle on that baby. Maybe you're 3.0 was trying for a Picasso-esque interpretation.

I was shocked at the price it realized. I am keeping my 4.5 copy. It's a book definitely coming into it's own.

Good work. I was one of the under-bidders. Got it for less than 9.2 guide.

I know you've been burned in the past and I understand. I would have risked it, if I'd known. I cracked my PGX 6.0 Brenda Starr 14 and CGC'd it. Came back 7.0. A throw of the dice for sure.

Did anyone out there pick this up? Missed it entirely. http://cgi.ebay.ca/TEEN-AGE-ROMANCES-9-PGX-4-5-Classic-Baker-c-a-BEST-/380356487465?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item588f036929

Great book and one I haven't seen come up too often.

I love this cover and you have it in an 8.5?!

Extremely impressive.

Ah, you were the winner. That went for nice. I was bidding on that, my copy is low grade. Congratulations.

Pardon my ignorance...but what's a Real Life Picture Magazine? Is that some sort of variant?

Oh baby.

I got the pm (thnx Darth). Sounds like a classic case of someone off their meds. You have to feel sorry sometimes.

Please pm if possible.

You never see a Fight 38, especially looking like that.

Everett was using it as early as the first Sub-Mariner story in Motion Pictures Funnies Weekly and Marvel #1. Actually, Everett was using something I believe was called crafttint board. The drawing was done on a special board that had a texture that was made visible with a chemical applied with brush. Roy Crane used it all the time on Buz Sawyer.

Nice job with the one-handed pics! I need to get the Dark Horse reprint. Those are some vintage female poses by Baker. Interesting about the spot blacks. I've also heard it referred to as zip-a-tone. It's kind of 3-D! Zip-tone is shading film used to create half-tone effects. They are in dot, hatch and cross-hatch patterns.The film is cut and placed on artwork with the excess then cut off. Spot blacks are solid blacks laid down with brush and india ink. .

I got lucky. It was a 3 day auction that ended at a weird time. The last copy I saw was on ComicConnect, slabbed 4.0. It went for 3X what I paid for this.

I got it on ebay last month. Went for cheap.

Complete runs?! This is how you've spent your young life? Even I needed a hobby! I think I'd have to get reincarnated to get those runs.

Not likely. I just checked and there's a 7.0 out there. The bottom edge on this copy probably keeps it under that. Robert still has them listed on ebay. I'm glad you talked him down. He probably paid nothing for them.

My last purchase from Jerry Weist.
