With the Cinderella "spin" in mind, which one makes more sense, I wonder...? She picks the rich doctor then hooks up with the poor guy and they off the rich guy and dump him in a swamp. They are partying with the money and the rich guy's corpse comes back and offs them in some twisted medical way. I know, I read too many EC's. I like them better anyway...

He's wearing a rare YELLOW leather jacket and probably has an expensive hot rod parked nearby. Point Five and 29dukedog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be on to something... and the guy's expensive hot rod might even look something like this: MBFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure... how about this: One guy is rich, the other is poor, but she doesn't know which one is which... and she is allowed to ask just one question of just one guy (not knowing which guy is which)... and the answer to this question must provide her with the info she needs to make the right choice. What is the question she must ask? (and why does this sound oddly familiar...?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Congrats to whoever won this one. I was the underbidder. Just couldn't quite get myself to go higher since I own a 5.5 copy. http://www.comiclink.com/Auctions/item.asp?back=%2FCOMICTRACK%2FAUCTIONS%2FBIDS.ASP%3Fx%3D0%26y%3D0%26pg%3D1&id=1236407 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 And I think whoever won this one made a smart move. Such a tough book and this copy presents very well (at least from the front!). http://www.comiclink.com/Auctions/item.asp?back=%2FCOMICTRACK%2FAUCTIONS%2FBIDS.ASP%3Fx%3D0%26y%3D0%26pg%3D1&id=1236842 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did make me check the census and was surprised to find Teen-Age Diary Secrets #5 (nn) only has 1 graded copy. I wonder if I should make it 2.

Had I not just purchased 4 nice LB Cole books in the last two weeks I would have bid it higher. I thought it would easily go for over 4K and maybe even hit 6K.

Ken TAR 39 apparently is a tough book, and this was a copy that I would have loved to own (I've never owned a TAR 39). Figured it would go north of $4k, maybe up to $5k, still $3,400 is nothing to sneeze at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
