I'm at 2.5

For all of the detractors, it still looks pretty nice.  Given the Key status of the book, would some professional attention be appropriate?

Great book.  Too bad about the bc.. 3.0ish

Guy may look a bit rougher, meaner, because it's not a romance type of book.  Softer, gentler, more handsome gents on the romance covers?

Should we see a bit more gloss for a upper mid-grade book of this era?  I don't see a lot of color breaks, but a couple of corners are certainly holding it back.  Can we get a glimpse of the staples from the centerfold angle please...how clean are they?  Is that staining on bc, upper left corner area?

For now...

Really like this cover.  It is just me, lol, or does the large green entity look like Kirk Douglas?

A minor key book that I am happy to have.

Solid book, dust shadow on bc, a little dirty.

Thanks for looking

6.0 I think.  Should clean up some.

Love it

A white cover always gives me fits.

I like it at a 6.0

Toughie..

Big hits as mentioned in the description, but the fc looks pretty nice.

5.0

Really ? But HA is 10% and MyComicShop is 8% ... maybe you are thinking of auction rates , i am talking about consignment .

What is the buyer's premium at MCS?  HA is pretty steep.

I give it, 2 thumbs up!  Love the book.  

I'm too old to be re-starting.  Should have been collecting the past 45 years instead of the last 3

The book that is tough and rare, for one collector, seems to fall into the hands of another.  I've found books in the wild, that others have searched and searched for.  I'm sure it is much the same for many of us.  Beginners luck for me, maybe.

So pleased to have landed this tough Teen-Age Romances. The few times I've seen one of these for sale it has been thrashed or badly faded, but this one has nice rich inks. Love the unusual color scheme, the baseball setting, the racy dialogue and everything else about it! One of those lovely 'captured moment in time' covers that Baker just excelled at.

Nice book.  She looks so enamored.  He appears pleading yet so matter-of-fact.

Interesting. I have a couple of those but the color is pink not red like yours. I’ve seen scans of red ones too so is one version more scarce?

I think the book is pink, but the color just held up really well.  Maybe my phone & lighting combination is giving the appearance of a red book..??

Pulled this pic from another forum where discussion had just started.

Is this the norm?
