Millie the Model 66 CGC 4.5 OW/W - great Dan DeCarlo swimsuit cover. One of two on the census, both at 4.5, so technically this is the highest graded copy of this book. I'll let you decide the value of that information. Oh yea, Stan Lee story. Asking $300. 

SOLD!!!

Katy Keene 2, CGC 5.5 OW/W. No sales data for the last 5 years. Show coming next year. Lingerie panels. Woggon art, and his picture inside (sorry, it's slabbed). Only 8 on the census, this being about the middle of them all. Asking $450 for this beauty. Now $400

Detective Comics 176 CGC 6.5 OW/W. Not a key issue. Just a really nice copy of this early '50s book. Yours to enjoy as well for $650 How About $600?

Chamber of Chills 22 (actually 2nd in the series, so first #22 which is really #2). CGC 6.0 OW/W. I would like $500 for this one. How about $450?

Batman 65! CGC 5.5 OW/W. Great Cat Woman cover. Need I say more? Last sale was $999, slightly worse Page Quality, and the 6.0s are going for way above that. So, I'll ask $1,100

SOLD!!!

Centaur are great books started from the birth of comics i bet it won't be your last 

I've had one or two before - right now my collecting goals are different (trying to work up to a Gaines File copy, or three) but if I get one that is beautiful and I just can't part with it, well then I guess it will have to become part of my collection.

The one thing I do remember about the ones I had before is that the artwork was just amazing. We think of artwork as 'evolving' over the history of comic books, but I saw (and see) artwork that is incredible and looks as fresh as anything I see today.

A small collection of Centaurs that came out of Pennsylvania about two years ago i remember seeing your copy but being incomplete i didn't bite 

Makes sense - bought 2 incomplete Centaurs, both have her name on the cover (this and Amazing Man Comics 11). Probably wouldn't have been able to afford the complete copies, and these have great covers. And I got them for a decent price . . .

I can help - ‘First Night Off Duty’ text story s/b 2 pages. ‘The Circus and Sue’ story follows and is 5 pages.

So it appears that someone removed three (6 count) pages, your missing second page of ‘First Night Off Duty’ text has the first page of ‘The Circus and Sue’ story on its reverse side.

You have 46 pages, so with three pages missing (that equals 6 page count front-and-back) = 52 pages.

@sacentaur Perfect! I just looked closely at the torn out page and it is, in fact, 3 pages ripped out! Mystery solved! Thank you!

@Zolnerowich and @comicjack is this a new pedigree? 

Now, what is the value for an incomplete, Sally Wharton Pedigree book like this? (Spine is split about 2/3rds, attached at bottom staple, cf is detached)

Looking for some help with a recent pickup - Funny Pages 37. Seems to be incomplete, but not sure just how incomplete it is . . .

Going through Grand Comics Database it shows a 52 page book, mine has 46. So simply one would say missing 1.5 wraps - but I can't figure out whats missing. 

GCD says order of stories is Arrow, Circus and Sue, Mad Ming, Mantoka, Timber Toppers and John Degan. No fillers or ad pages referenced. Mine is as follows:

Mad Ming (7 pgs)

Mantoka (7)

Timber Toppers (8)

Sport O' Sketches (1)

Magic Made Easy (2)

John Degan (5)

SporTest (1)

First Night Off Duty - text (1)

(Can see 1 page neatly ripped out) (2)

Cartooning Self-taught (1)

This is Your Page (2)

Arrow (6)

Story behind Stamps (1)

The stories I have match the count in GCD, my copy has Arrow out of order but completely missing Circus and Sue, a 5 page story. 

Here is the problem: I don't see where the 5 pages would have been!

Cover is still attached by bottom staple, so doesn't seem like first wrap is missing. Centerfold is there, loose, but John Degan starts on obverse of 2nd folio and continues as full story. But even more puzzling is that with the one folio (aka half wrap, or 2 pages) cut out, that leaves one wrap (4 pages) missing, and that isn't enough for the 5 page Circus and Sue story . . . especially for it to be contiguous in the book. Even if it was next to the cut out page the other half of the wrap would have been in the first half of the book, and nothing seems to be missing there (not to mention it wouldn't have been contiguous). Cover does advertise "Circus and Sue".

Would someone please enlighten me? Is this a misprint? Am I counting wrong? Does this jive with anyone else's copies? 

Thanks!

What a week to not have any free cash to spend on these books! 

At least it's fun to watch it all go down . . .

Planet Comics 55 [2.0 - $75]

Unfortunately, the bulk of the problems with this book lie squarely on the front cover. Ink in the 'A' and 'T' of Planet, on the spears, and some of the lettering in 'Giants of the Golden Atom'. It looks like there is a scorch mark from the gals chin and traveling downward to the left about an inch. I played with lighters when I was 10, so I get it, kid. Cover is completely detached, but the interior is great, still bound tightly from first wrap to centerfold. A 3.0 went for $156 in August. One sold on eBay for $110 but looks nicer than mine, so I scaled back the price to (over)compensate.

I love Planets but don't have the time (or, more accurately, the budget) to focus on them. My set of PS Publishing archives will have to do for now.

Take!

Terrors of the Jungle 4 CGC 6.0 OW/W - Dinosaur (?) attacking a beautiful LB Cole babe. 

Asking $1250

Popular Teenagers 10 CGC 3.0 OW/W beautifully presenting cover, condition hits are some splits on spine (horizontal, not vertical) and a rusty staple that bring the grade down. Still a great cover by the great Cole!
