RICK STARR Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Has anybody tried to register their CGC slabbed books? It's weird, that some St.John titles are in the census, but when I create a new set, the title is not in the index. Only one title, Pictorial Romance, appears on the indexes. I've done this enough times to think what I am doing is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It was certainly strange, seeing two of my very favorite Baker covers pop up together like that only months after I let go my previous copies! It's funny, but that seems to be exactly the way it's worked for me, on many occasions. A few months ago I sold my long-time, low grade Cinderella Love 26 (for an obscene profit, btw... ). Then, just recently, I was able to turn up that CGC 6.0 copy I found... (for an obscene amount of money). Some kind of karma happening, there.

29dukedog Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Holy catfish! The Seven Seas 4 3.0 finished at $1,553.50! Another bonkers Baker auction I just couldn't go over $1500. w/BP. I just couldn't. Not for a 3.0. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one was sitting there with a BIN of $349. Not the greatest copy but I think it's at least a 3.0. Maybe I just got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitterOldMan Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Got my copy off one of last year's CL auctions. Indeed, I found SS4 to be a tough book to track down. One of Baker's best covers and he drew many. I have not seen any at the last few SDCC and NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 If we're ever negotiating a future trade, for example, that SS 4 would pull a ton of weight. Just letting you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking around for a copy. I finally popped for Riche Muchin's copy with ... you guessed it, the always popular "archival tear seals."

There was a horizontal tear that went half way across the back cover. If not for that, I would've been tempted by that book, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Gorgeous 3.0 though so that must have had something to do with the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
