Qua-Brot

Not sure if this is the place to ask but . . . 

Recently acquired a few LB Cole Love books (Top Love Stories 16 and 18, True-To-Life Romances 20 and Popular Teen-agers 22) and found that each have 2 or 3 copies on the census and slim-to-none sales data from GPA or HA.com. 

Are these that rare, or just not that popular, or? 

Thanks

Just got these in - 1 to 3 issues each in the CGC Census (which surprised me with the LB Cole covers, figured there would be more of those graded since he is so popular)

Love Journal 25

True-to-Life Romances 20

Finally, a nice higher grade Whiz Comics 75 in CGC 7.5 OW/W pages. Or is that a Whiz 7.5 in 75? Krigstein and Wolverton art. Nice book. Asking $300.

What? No EC’s? 😭

Not in this thread, sorry. 

Tomahawk 11 CGC 6.5 OW/W pages. I thought this would be higher, but still a solid grade. And I liked the cover. Asking $250.

Well after a rigorous defense of my position, we appear to have a consensus - I am insane.  and take per PM!

Thank you - it was a rough education in the school of hard knocks, but I came out better educated and better able to face the world at large . . . especially parts North.

Egads!!! Another Silver Age book!!! Strange Tales 138 CGC 9.4 OW/W pages. First appearance of Eternity . . . hot book! Last sale was $1,236, so I'll ask $1,200.

Another Spirit Insert, from 8/25/1940 (this would be "issue" 13) CGC 9.0 C/OW. Highest graded copy. Nice that you can see some of the artwork on the back cover . . . Asking $300 SOLD!!!

And now for something completely different . . again!

Spirit insert! 7/21/1940 (Inserts started 6/2/1940, so this is less than 2 months later and the 8th insert). CGC 8.5 OW pages. Will Eisner art, Lady Luck back up story. Notation in OSPG that the Spirit becomes a fugitive wanted for Murder. I think these are neat, and definitely part of Comic History. Asking $300 SOLD!!!

And now for something from the Great White North - a Canadian White! Nice presenting for the grade Rocket Comics V5#6 CGC 4.0 OW pages. No sales data and they are fairly rare, so I'll ask a crazy $600 - but please feel free to make an offer and explain yourself. Education has value as well. SOLD!!!

take per PM! tasty!

 Thanks as always! You have impeccable taste!

Phantom Stranger 3 CGC 4.5 OW/W pages. Nice book. Asking $600, seems right to me.

My Own Romance 45 CGC 5.5 C/OW pages. Colletta cover and art. I think there is some Freudian undertones in that hot dog's position - or maybe not. Great bathing suit cover. No data. Asking $450. SOLD!!!!

Millie the Model 101 CGC 9.0 WHITE pages. Highest graded! Not sure what to ask so I'll go with $1,000. 

Jungle Thrills 16 CGC 5.0 OW/W pages. LB Cole cover, what else is there to say? Asking $325

Next is a book that was just offered here on the boards, so not sure if it will find a buyer now. This one is a higher grade, and 2nd highest graded. And it's rare (well, not so rare that it didn't come up for sale 2 times in the last 2 weeks!). Illustrated Stories of the Operas, Carmen CGC 6.5 OW/W pages. Gerber 9, great art (I did look through it before slabbing), and a nice copy. Asking $1,100.

Hap Hazard 13 CGC 7.5 C/OW pages. Classic GGA cover by Singer. This is structurally much higher, but has sun-shadow on front right edge and back cover has some tanning. Still a great book and 2nd highest graded. The other 7.5 (which, coincidentally also looks great but has sun-shadow, but on the bottom edge) sold twice last year on Heritage, once for $690 and once for $456. I'll go a little below the halfway and ask $550.
