  1. I'm embarrassed to admit that I had no idea who Phil was until I just now Googled him.
  2. And here's a couple raw comics that actually look 75 years old
  3. The back cover to Joker Comics #2 is rather nice...
  4. Methinks you will qualify for a free bottle of Metropolis holiday wine.
  5. I went nuts in 2018. Here are a few of my top Millie acquisitions...
  6. I'm on the opposite end - I start crying every time I spend a fortune on a book that sold for pennies a couple years ago. But then I collect my wits and do it all over again.
  7. Prices reduced one last time... Tessie the Typist #10 (CGC 6.5) $300 $250 $200 (OBO) Tessie the Typist #13 (6.0) $225 $175 $150 (OBO) Joker Comics #34 (CGC 4.5) $225 $175 $150 (OBO)
  8. Regardless, that's a beautiful book. I've heard it said that a true Church enthusiast can verify the authenticity by the smell of the book.
  9. The ghosts of Davis Crippen and Edgar Church today:
  10. I'm sure the presence of the Church copy didn't help, but the Hedy was not the only book with that sort of result. The Crippen Comedy 2 went from $1300 to $500 and the Crippen Junior Miss 31 went from $650 to $240. Very interesting. I wonder what the backstory is? Looks like someone decided to raise some dough by dumping them as a group. I think that Crippen copies were pretty exciting about a year ago. Then, Heritage had a flood of Church teen humor books throughout 2018 and the Crippens kinda lost their appeal. Why settle for the Crippen copy when the Church copy will probably show up any day now? Just a theory.
  11. The Crippen copy of Hedy #27 sold for $1,314.50 back in January. Ten months later, the same book sold for only $456 in the Fall Signature auction. Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to put the Church and Crippen copies in the same auction.
  12. $50 price reduction on Tessie #10, Tessie #13 & Joker #34. Tessie the Typist #10 (CGC 6.5) $300 $250 Tessie the Typist #13 (6.0) $225 $175 Joker Comics #34 (CGC 4.5) $225 $175 Also accepting offers.
  13. Hedy is sold. Both Tessies and the Joker are still available. Accepting offers. :)
  14. That's it for now. If you're interested, reply with an or send me a DM with an offer. Thanks!
