29dukedog Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Seems like another strong CL25 sale. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CINDERELLA-LOVE-25-CLASSIC-MATT-BAKER-COVER-1954-ST-JOHN-GGA-GOOD-GIRL-/252320557119?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=HBOJveDS88DUCfieQTTSUr0aEus%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc We don't know exactly what the book sold for, but if it was even close to the asking price, the seller did very well indeed. watchcount.com shows it sold for $650. Puzzling that he accepted such a large discount after only two days. Not the same book.The one that just sold pales in comparison. Are you sure? I entered the item number from the eBay auction into Watchcount.com. Seems to be the same book, but maybe I messed something up? The other book can be found here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Scarce-1954-Cinderella-Love-No-25-Comic-Book-Matt-Baker-Cover-/322024980665?hash=item4afa2f40b9:g:T7IAAOSwPc9W1kws Go to Watchcount.com and enter this item number: 252320557119 The result seems to be showing the CL 25 with the damaged lower right corner that was listed as a $1,699.99 BIN by martin1928 actually sold for $650. Just finished doing that, myself. Sure enough. I never knew about Watchcount... never knew there was a way to discover the amount of eBay Best Offers. Cool.

Sqeggs Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 So I guess I'm back to wondering why an experienced eBay seller would accept such a low-ball offer after the listing had only been up for two days. Unless there's more to the deal than we know .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yep. It's mine, along with a couple of other copies, all in the same condition. Why did those girls have to read their comics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICK STARR Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Here is mine. It is a very tough issue to find in any grade let alone Fine or better. The #18, to me, may even be as or more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicnoir Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 My copy seems to have a purplish background while the others seem blue. Just noting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very late in the game, of course, for St John romance, so their always shaky distribution might have been very limited. This may well be a book where a >7.0 copy no longer exists.

PeterPark Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I'm partial to teen-age romances 33 when it comes to baseball covers. Cool book though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are, most likely, many of these St.John Bakers' that do not exist in 7.0/7.5 or better. I wondered whose issues were used in the Gerber catalogs. They look to be some very sweet looking copies.
