You know, this is going to sound stupid but I don't have a single one of the Betty Page books. I've got a bunch of other stuff but just have not come across the copies of those I wanted at the right price yet. Nice pick up!

It just shrank about 280 books today! If I sold books like I have been doing today I would open a shop :: So that means 8 long boxes and one CGC box nearing 2/3 full that was just started in December.

Sean, I bet it looks like this: I completely forgot that mine looked like that too. Here is the Danger Girl

When I was looking at Alter Ego thinking about ordering that other cover of theirs they have of Dave's I think I stumbled across this one. Great one though!

Totally agree.

That one doesn't have glasses attached? I wonder what that will do to the grade if anything. Sweet book.

It's in block capitals? Really? I have a gy-normous danger girl auto I got off of Dynamic Forces I think but it still was obviously his sig. Scan it!

Wasn't me I didn't win either

Ha, I'll take anybody's 9.8 undercopy instead

last one sold for $80. Hate to bust your bubble. You aren't bursting anything Muttley. I should have been more clear. The last one that I saw was 140 or 150. Was it black or red Sean? The red should go for considerably more than the black if they are all signed by Campbell and Gardner I would think.

Lady Death #1. I had to physically restrain myself from buying YET ANOTHER Vengeance of Vampirella #1 yesterday for $3.25 You and me both brother. I bought an Evil Ernie CGC 9.0 just because it was the first appearance and I have probably had 10 of those Adam Hughes VoV covers at one time or another, ::

Wait...is this sketched in blue pencil, or is it PRINTED? Gotta be sketched in blue pencil... Now I gotta check mine. Pretty sure it is blue pencil. And the sealed boxes count goes down even more...

I'm going to be sending probably 5 Dave Stevens covers in for grading when I get to Heroes in June (save on shipping costs to CGC at least). I've got a decent Airboy, the 3-D #16, maybe an Alien Worlds 4, Seduction of the Innocent 3-D, and I'm debating sending my DNAgents which is decent but not awesome.

Who in their right mind mails cash?

Out of curiosity how many people on here still don't have one that are actively looking for one of the 3-D # 16 books? It will be interesting to see how sales continue for it.

Best of luck!

:: I wonder if these might have been in the very first boxes or if they were sprinkled throughout though?

Yeah, if it was $50 I'd be sweating it a lot harder. $75 is a bit more than I care to pay since I just secured one.

Remember those sketches I was talking about? I found one on comicartfans... http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=483872&GSub=15389

I cracked mine the day I bought it way back when. Bagged and boarded everything and have since gotten a Fairchild quick sketch by Campbell on the blank :thumbsup: I'm horrible at keeping stuff in the package (except I do still have a pack of football cards in the original wrapper from 1972!)

I think now that the bulk of "us" have one and have been paying decent prices for them people are taking notice and going through their dollar bins and starting to dig these things out. I still would label them as "rare" because it is a fairly limited print run from what I remember and the census might start to climb as decent copies are sent in to be slabbed. You might even see some 9.8s pop up but I think they will go back into obscurity unless one of us starts hording them and floods the market later on. That one on Amazon looks REALLY nice. It's somewhat tempting.

Congrats! Now I'm not the newbie anymore ::

Dark Horse put these out in 2000-2001 I think...around the same time as the lighter. I have two of them.. Front and back of the package shown. Warning: Do not ingest. Well they were going to say "licking this airfreshner likeness of Betty is in no way the same as licking Betty so please don't" but it was just too wordy.

I'll have to look and see if they are all newsstand. Up until recently I didn't have the 5th book except for the Portacio variant.

The Black boxes sell on Ebay between 75-125 typically if they sell at all. I rarely see them out of that price range on there at least. It's been a while since I've seen a red so I'm not positive how much it went for.
