Some lower graded ones sold cheap before but it usually goes for a hefty sum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, this cover is a reprinted splash page from Wartime Romances 12. Darwination, comicnoir, Mavrick76 and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm in the minority here, and I swear I don't mean to provoke as I really enjoy this community of comics lovers, but I'm in constant amazement. What poor frames for art the slabs are. Beyond the ugly blue labels and obnoxious silver hologram stickers, there's so often all this empty space of clear plastic, the comic will be off-center, etc. The messed up thing is as soon as you crack it for a different presentation, you'll have to resubmit later for slab lovers to have as high an interest. I understand that there's different strokes for different folks - I'm just still wrapping my head around all this Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it's in a magazine sized slab. Which happens to quite a lot of the taller St. John books, but I'm not sure this specific issue needs it.

I was unsure because the other graded copies I've seen of this book were all in normal sized slabs. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted November 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2023 I recently found a few Baker western books buried in some GA western boxes. I was shocked when I saw the prices I had on them. I quickly released them from their yellowed bags, put them in shiny mylars and of course “adjusted” their prices… Obviously, nobody wanted them at their previous prices.
