Oh my. What a cover. Best cover of the series. Possibly the best Centaur cover there was, even better than the nazi monster cover. Really one of the best covers in all of comic history. Do you have a # 4 of the series comicjack?

Closed.

Thank you for that jimbo. I think you're right. I thought it might be the paypal thing. They just take too much for transfering funds in my opinion. "in defense" for lack of a better term even though it is slightly brittle the cover looks pretty darn good. Colors are real strong and bright. Plus there are only 12 of them and I see only 8 sales of this issue in the past 13 years. I'll probably put it on th CL exchange and if it doesn't sell I'll send it back to HA in a couple months. No biggie, thanks again

That is a sweet example. Beauty. Looks glossy too. Probably a solid 7.0 with white pages . You have some really really nice books.

Oh cool. Yeah CL auctions have been low lately, which is good as a buyer. I came short on everything I sold there this month. One thing I'll credit them for is having the GA stuff in one section and auctioning in one day. At least I'm pretty sure they do it like that.

Nice! Both look good for the grade. Did you see the L.B. Crime books that ended on Comiclink last night? Thanks for showing all those great books, I envy your fortitude on acquiring all those. You should turn a room in your home to an L.B. Cole museum. Serious. Hi Mic, What is a cover proof? Whatever it is that one looks Sweeeeet!

Looks like that was the case with most of them. 6,600 is quite a lot for almost any Romance book to me. But one could see it as two serious Romance or Baker collectors doing what they had to do to get the highest graded example. ...........while losing all sense of reason. Nice. Very nice. Personally to me the Romance (and Crime books as well) from the late 40's through Silver age are just cool to have in any grade and especially raw so you can see the interior art if you wish. Kirby/Simon's, Baker's, Cole's, Romita's ect ect. Every cover is unique and interesting. Always some drama happening. With so many titles with so few examples especially above mid grade just having a decent looking copy is a good thing. I wanted one graded Baker romance book (actually there are a few I want but I never see) and I thought the 3.5 looked good for the grade. I really don't mind the girls name written on the cover either. Thanks I'll scan it and post a pic on the Baker thread when it comes. I thought it would go a little cheaper( and it would have if I didn't get involved) because of the 4.5 copy in the Valentine auction. Had a 2k cap in mind beforehand. Had instant buyers remorse after it ended then when I saw what the others in title went for I felt a bit better. I like it. Plus I like how she resembles the girl on Cinderella 25. Could be the same girl even, "running around" after Chuck left. That Valentine Good Girl auction is gonna be a lot of fun to watch.

Highest graded sole 5.5. From what I can see the highest ever sold in public has been a 3.0. And the 39, one of the two highest graded. These books don't come around much. The 3.5 32, I actually won that. I think it went to a little too high. We'll see where the 4.5 on HA ends up in 2 weeks.

Price Reduced to 1,325.00. Still No Paypal. Why nobody buy my book? Is it the No Paypal part? Do people need paypal to buy comics even here on the board? If so is it for security reasons or the convenience of not having to mail a letter? At this point this is just an Data Gathering thread. Any input is helpful. So, Why nobody buy my book?

Strong prices on these Baker Romance. The girl on Teen-Age Romance 32 looks a lot like the one on Cinderella Love 25.

Just back from getting put in a shiny new holder. Fantucchiooooooo. That's how I like to say it, Fantucchioooooo! 1 of only 9 Pedigrees of this book.

So much time and patience to acquire all these. Thanks for showing them off

Hi Jimbo. Do you know if Baker did the cover for #3? Don't think so but I've never been sure. I do love that cover though.

# 6 by a nose. Both are great but I like how 6 doesn't have a solid color title box like the red one on 4. You get the full picture on 6. And I love the colors of the water on 6. It's just got a slightly more "classic" look to me.

What a crazy cover. Looks like Baby Face just got mortally wounded. Even wackier is how that other guy would just stop to ask the lady that question. Real cool cat.

I read a Rulah comic online recently. Some pretty hot stuff going on in there

Correct me if I'm wrong, I never had the pleasure of reading it, but technically isn't Terrifying Tales 13 a guy with a devil costume and not actually the Prince of Darkness himself?

When it comes to danger in the waters, I guess the femme fatales tend to attract a whole lot more loving from the collecting base: - lou_fine So true. It's just one of those the Baker cover's everyone wants . I wonder if the other 9.2 is a Church or other pedigree. Reminds me of New Adventure 27 a lot .......minus the femme fatale.

Allow me to explain. I won this and also the not cgc 3.0 Mystery Men #10 on the Fox auction. I really only wanted the #10. It's at cgc right now for a re-grade. I was surprised I won the 11 because I thought it would go higher. I really don't need both so here it is available for all. Selling for pretty much what I paid for it. Why nobody buy my book?

Yes. I'm sitting in a 16X22 ft room right now that's bright as heck. Lighted by one 100 watt LED soft white light bulb with a cover on the ceiling. Everything has a white clear look. Before I had a 75W regular incandescent bulb. Everything had a yellow/brown look and it was too dark. The LED daybulbs as opposed to the soft white are even brighter and give a more natural light. I know this isn't big news to a lot of people, my point is yes lighting makes a huge difference. Also seems like the increase or lets say decrease in Cream books started about 10 or so years ago, right around the time LED bulbs began getting big. I mean it is possible this was a factor.

You know I actually thought that. Maybe they switched to LED lights. I switched out all the bulbs in the house to LED a few months back a boy are they brighter , but in a comfortable on the eyes way.

Planet #2 Some slabs say Eisner cover, some say Fine cover. The older slabs going back to the 1st gens say Lou Fine. The current slabs say Will Eisner. Who do you think penciled the cover? It looks like Fine to me but I'm not sure. ( pic is not my book, got it from the innernet)

Yeah we needed a channel like this. Visiting long time collectors who know so much and are willing to show some of their great books. Those guys were showing off some really hard to find high grade stuff. This section alone has probably dozens of guys/girls with some really great stuff I know I'd love to see. I know that's what a lot of threads on the forum are for but seeing them in high def video is even better. Maybe if David gets more subs and the money starts rolling in he will be able to visit more guys with killer collections so we can ogle their stuff.

It is a really good channel. They do good work and he is always spot on I think about his advice for newer collectors. He's has some really interesting, knowledgeable, and handsome guests too
