Christine is a very nice lady, had some good chats with her. Because she's a woman, she doesn't want to publicise too much. -
Seduction of the Innocent is a book by American psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, published in 1954, that warned that comic books were a negative form of popular literature and a serious cause of juvenile delinquency. This first printing has the publisher's circled "R" colophon on the copyright page. It is omitted from later printings. This first state of the first printing includes the concluding "Bibliographical Note", which is a 2 page list of comic publishers. (removed from this copy, see photo) Fearing lawsuits from those listed, this leaf was cut out from most copies of the first printing before shipping. It would be omitted entirely from subsequent printings. Wertham examines the pre-code comics and the effects their violent and sexual imagery were purportedly having on children. Illustrated with provocative black & white examples, with Wertham's negative commentary. 397 pages. There is a covering letter with the book from the seller in the US, which reads : Front and rear flyleafs glued to inside front and back covers, rest of DJ missing. Ex-library copy with markings. R present on copyright page indicating first edition. Fair condition. Feel free to ask any questions. Price $150 US. Paypal G & S is fine - postage UK £8, US/CAN $25

I think the point is that it doesn't...I can't recall the last time I saw one offered for sale. -

I will pay by paypalregardsclive qscomics: So, I checked on GPA and the latest sale for this grade is $720 (screenshot attached) - that means at my sale price of 40 % off, this is almost £200 below that price.

CGC 9.0 scarce book! Sent date: 03-May-20 19:45:25 BST Dear qscomics, Im sorry but I have decided not to buy the comic. apologies for any inconvenience caused. I looked extensively at Sea Devils history and sales and decided it was a bit of an obscure title although the comic and its Heath artwork is fantastic. Thank you for you excellent help and communication and sorry again. No problem, I've really appreciated having my time totally wasted - who would have thought it ? And this was at 40 % 0ff. -qscomics

I would have linked to the CC auction page from my account, but that doesn't seem to be possible any more... -

I remember missing out on that four years ago. Zooming in with HA's huge scans, it looked bad enough that I already had a re-resto quote for it, and couldn't believe it went so high. Considering the $55 K difference between that and the 7.5 Mod (P) copy I got, I certainly prefer mine for the price. -

CC had two restored copies in a row last year, an 8.5 in the May auction I think it was, and a 7.5 in the August one...glad I bought it now. -
I'm at a bit of a loss as just how to respond to this whole new level of stupid - New message from: fers1977 (734) Hello The last expensive graded comic I got from you was Conan number 2 m, 8.0 graded. Arrived covered in hard plastic grading displayed on the top amazing. I’ve just bought Conan number 3 for £93 and it’s arrived just in a sleeve with no mention of anything. Is the grading just made up or where does it come from? It just seems a bit pot luck as to what I get from you?? Thanks Need I add that the Conan # 3 in question was clearly pictured in it's raw, non slabbed state...?

2019 "THIS SET DOESN'T EXIST, PLEASE BUILD" REQUESTS
quicksilver replied to RegistryAdministrator's topic in CGC Registry
Is there no set for the Golden Age Timely Red Raven Comics ? I can see it's in the full Timely set, but that's all I can find... Sets can only be created for a comic series, whereas Timely's Red Raven Comics is limited to one issue. -
Do you find that he delivers in a reasonable time frame ?

Just wondering if anyone has ever done any business with this company at all ?

Bizarrely, it just sat there with no live bids...it would have been rude not to...less than $5K between the two copies, and no comparison. -
