Captain Marvel #14 pg 5
I shared this piece on FB yesterday as well.
Backstory… when I got back into comics about a decade ago, I was checking out all the new characters on the scene. Miles Morales and Kamala Khan were the clear standouts. Kamala’s family is from Pakistan which has a very similar culture to that of my wife’s family from Northern India. With two daughters myself, Kamala really resonates. 
Captain Marvel #14 has the very first cameo appearance of Kamala so I avidly pursued copies and did the same when I transitioned into art four years ago. I was able to locate Kamala’s second ever page via Felix (Filipe Andrade) and finally tracked this one down. The owner wasn’t ready to let it go but after several years of communication, we finally came to an agreement, and this one arrived yesterday. I’m very grateful and connections made along the journey.

Great follow up (rebuttal).
We knew some of the golden age stuff needed to be clarified. I know @Ricksneatstuff since working at Heritage has stated (and i'm paraphrasing) that it can appear like most of the population of GA collectors are or have been a part of the CGC Boards community at some time, but there is a huge number of them that are private and don't share what they are holding. 
With that in mind, I can still say for the better part of the last 12 years with 2nd and 3rd tier publishers 'exploding' , there are quite a few books I have only seen a handful of times (and on some they are one to two copies of said book that keep changing hands in a cyclical manner. 

I was going to be childish and say her fingers are so long, she could slap both sides of his face with one swing or she was threatening to stab him with that oversized finger, but then .... I can't be the only one that noticed she's got 6 fingers on the wagging hand, can I (to my polydactylous friends : not that there's anything wrong with that)?  Did I find a grail or is this already known in this genre? Lol.  Still a rookie at romance...

Arrived today from @956Ref 

So Sqeegs has returned to the rabbit hole.
No comments for this freshly cracked slab. Accident.

Just saw this in the previews.
Whiz Comics #2 (#1), CGC FN/VF 7.0 Off-white to white pages.
 

You could just have said, "Hey over there. Come 'ere. I got some books for youse." I'd have responded!

One of my very favorite covers 
 

I have the other 8.5, bought 10 years ago for a price that seemed high then but seems like a steal now.

I like the busy Baker covers. 

A lock seems entirely unnecessary and indicates a lack of faith in your fellow collectors. Still live at the same address? 

I’ve had several nice Baker pickups recently. The others I will show at another time but here is a pretty one
 

I’ll be OK 
I wipe my tears with the deed to my house, car titles, Fidelity statement, Calvin and Hobbes/ Peanuts/ Disney art.   Things had to go to bring more things since that’s the truce I made with my wife. 
 
Even still, I guess I love the hunt more than the hold. 

Possibly my favorite Fiction House cover
 

Over the last couple years I’ve been able to pick up about 75% of the Fox romance comics, but almost all of them are VG or lower. This is one of my favorites. 
 

Underrated cover with no good girl but a creepy cover came back a little better than my thinking.Not bad for a pulp from 1939 and a cover that stirs the mind looking at it

This one came back just a little below what i was thinking but when do you see it.The cover draws you in to what is happening and the results was fine for me 

We’re clearly going to need a revote with this masterpiece added.

Got these two today in a random lot I bought, but I know zero about romance books. I see there's a low-grade copy (1.0) of the "True Secrets" book currently on eBay for $50, and I didn't find any copies of the "Thrilling Confessions Love Diary." MCS lists the Love Diary as a Buscema cover though, so that's pretty cool. They don't have any additional info on True Secrets.
I'm just curious if these are sought after at all, or just run-of-the-mill romance books?
 

Now, back to our regular programming
 

I sent a bunch down all coming back with happy results they look great in the slabs.The results are just positive with many with great page quality and some being highest graded for now we know how that goes
