Bumble Kitty Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 OMG. That auction was really something. I almost went for the TLP 5, but just...couldn't. Who knows what it would have taken. Rick Starr, congrats. Recap Diary Secrets 18 F- $406 Dairy Secrets 24 VG/F $323 Pictorial Romances 6 F+ $203 Teen-Age Romances 14 VG $261 Teen-Age Romances 34 VG+ $478 Teen-Age Temptations 7 VG/F $149 True Love Pictorial 2 VG $137 True Love Pictorial 5 6.5 $741 True Love Pictorial 8 6.0Q $103 True Love Pictorial 10 6.0 $299 Wartime Romances 3 F- $980 This auction had me scratching my head. I only went after one book (which I didn't win), but the prices on the other ones, were, well, surprising. Maybe I'm under estimating the value of what I have. Here's my WR 3... Hopefully I can come back to this thread this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Is that a good thing? I've seen the movie...but I'm not relating right now... John Nash and his graduate buddies are out drinking, and into the bar walks a group of young women. The boys notice the prettiest girl in the group, and immediately they all decide to go after her ("every man for himself"). However, Nash reasons, if they all go after the pretty girl, they will block each other's efforts, offend the other girls by ignoring them, and none of them will get lucky. However, if they all agree to ignore the pretty girl and instead each go after one of her friends, the cooperative strategy will result in an outcome that is beneficial to everyone.

29dukedog Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Not by a long shot. This has got to be the rarest: (BTW, this is not my copy... it's actually the D Copy, and it's been photoshopped a little.) I believe there are only two copies confirmed, but ask Dr. Love about this one- he's the expert. Yup that's my copy. Or at least my copy as it looks photoshopped! It's a Crippen, but it's a 6.5 Crippen, and there's a reason for that. I'm planning to crack it, press it, and resub, even though it may replace the OW-W with a CR-OW. It's the only graded copy, but I'm pretty sure Bumble Kitty has one too. Other than that I haven't seen one around, but having said that, we'll probably get 3 more posted in the next 24 hours. Nope, I do NOT own a copy. So there's only one copy? Nobody else knows about another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Speaking of Cinderella Love, do you need 14 (Baker story but non-Baker covers) for a complete set? I personally like this issue. So much, that I got one... Yes, great Baker story in this one... which is also one of the last new Baker stories in a St. John comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inaflash Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Whoa! That TAR 36 just went for a strong price. eBay auction I was also surprised at the price. I bought this one a while ago, so perhaps that is why I didn't think it was it that desirable. I find it desirable. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Nolan found a copy and wrote an article on discovering it, since it was previously unknown, in an issue of Comic Book Marketplace. I once saw a really low grade copy on ebay. Then the D copy. That's 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 There was one up as a BIN on eBay a year or so ago, I think it was. While I was trying to decide on it ... bang! it was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
