Prince Namor Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 This was sitting on Metro's site for 4 months! Kept waiting for it to get snatched. Finally grabbed it at a nice price. Never seen a better copy. Nice copy of a great book! I got mine from Andy (GAcollectibles) here on the boards about a year ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Another toughie in this series. Has a Baker story as well as the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Slowly completing this run. Not a single copy in high grade, though. This was described as a "Very Good reading copy" Seems better from the scan. Hope it doesn't arrive with secret sorrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicnoir Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I have a copy of #7 I think would come back 7.5/8.0 which is high grade for these books. APC's aren't hard to find for the most part, just finding a nice copy. Love this cover for obvious reasons. Plus it's signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you probably know, this issue's background color is very unstable for some reason, with most copies having the blue washed out to some degree. Your copy is exceptionally well preserved!

Sqeggs Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The Church copy of #13 on Metro's site is the only truly high-grade copy that I recall having seen. Given the spotty representation of St John books in Edgar's collection, I would guess there aren't high-grade Church copies of many other issues.

The colour is a teal and when I was looking for a copy I made sure the background was as good as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlee Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I previously owned two mile high Authentic Police Cases (6 and 9). The 6 was a nice F/VF and the 9 was close to NM. Boy I wish I still had em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlee Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I completed my Wartime Romances run many years ago and I agree that 3 is the toughest of the run. I also completed Diary Secrets, Going Steady, Teen-Age Romances, Authentic Police Cases, and Cinderella Love. Those late # issues in Teen-Age Romances and Cinderella Love are super tough in grade.

Sqeggs Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Welcome to the Boards! I previously owned two mile high Authentic Police Cases (6 and 9). The 6 was a nice F/VF and the 9 was close to NM. Boy I wish I still had em. It's still very nice. Beautiful copy. I wonder if the Church copies are the only surviving high-grade copies of those books. Only three of his copies (4, 7, and 13) appear to have been graded. Anyone know if he had the complete run? Seems as if St John had poor distribution to the outlets Edgar was buying his books from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 GCE12 is back on eBay GCE12 CGC 1.8 Same seller? The price seems the same from what I recollect, although they moved it up and down a few times. The price doesn't appear to have been bumped up by the recent auction of the 7.0.

BB-Gun Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I like this cover a lot but I think it has been heavily photoshopped. I am still looking for a better copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlee Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Awesome to see two of them. I was wondering if any of you collect any of the 50s digests. They are in my opinion, very rare with some of the best covers. This is one of my favorites and also my personal copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
