Two semi-rhetorical questions, no and yes. And the 5.5 is a McLaughlin, btw. What I don't know is if all McLaughlin romance were by definition Church books. Chuck had the GCE 15 as a VG, and as he overgraded per the times and his inclination, I'm inclined to think the McLaughlin is not the Church. But who knows. Probably the guy(s) who have the rest of the Church romance. Quick question, snap poll - how many Church romance do you think there are? no cheating, your gut reaction. And then, how many of those have been slabbed? and who has the rest? FoggyNelson and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That guess was for St. John romance. And I'll be the first to admit- I'm probably the last person you should ask.)

Aaahh no wonder the GCE 15 looked familiar. Bug chews in the same corner as my GCE 13. Thanks for the back story Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then, how many of those have been slabbed? and who has the rest? I probably should know the answer to this, but by the time romance got rolling, Edgar wasn't still trying to buy every book on the stands, was he? And, of course, whether he was or not, St John's distribution problems probably meant many of them didn't make it to the newsstands in Denver. I know there is a boardie who has posted that he owns the TAR 2 and 3 Church copies sold on Heritage 10 years ago (and which were not included in Chuck's catalog). Not sure whether he's had them graded. I think my only St John Church is WTR 7 unless I'm forgetting something. I'll hazard a guess that slabbed and unslabbed, there are 20 known Church copies of St John romance books. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, maybe the Crippen copy is still lurking out there somewhere. Probably the best chance we've got for a high-grade copy of GCE 15 to have survived.

Sqeggs Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Interesting sale of a raw copy of It Rhymes with Lust on eBay last night. Anyone here nab it? I was the underbidder (there were only two bidders). Nice looking copy, but with the tape pull or whatever the paper loss is on the front cover, I doubt it will grade as a VF, which was the seller's grade. My guess is that it will come back a 6.0 max. Still, the winner may have gotten a pretty decent deal. I just wasn't willing to go higher when buying raw on eBay. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Love Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I think there may have been a tear seal on that one too. There was a time when It Rhymes with Lust was considered one of the important Baker grails, historically significant as it's considered to be the first graphic novel. It gets very little traction on this thread though. FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
