Gorgeous PL #23! (worship) No doubt #23 is a stunner.

 

I think much of the appeal of PL #17 is that she's looking right at the reader...makes all the difference for young boys! lol

 

You make me feel dirty for collecting GGA comics :lol:

I actually prefer #23 to #17. Phantom Lady looks very Betty Page-like and her "assets" are well displayed along with the thugs attention to them!

Beat me to the punch. I totally agree, PL #17 is far more hypnotic. Has the character looking right at us, seducing its viewer. Though I don't mind owning the #23 in high grade either.

 

Question is, when and IF a high grade PL #17 will EVER show up for sale / auction soon or again for that matter ? That's the problem with many of these condition rarity books when comparing them to say a AF #15 which can be found in high-grade (with mid-grade copies trading weekly which builds up interest or hype). There lies the problem with using a guide like Overstreet for these books in high grade. They are rare in high grade to begin with and those best conditioned examples rarely trade in the market place.

 

A PL #17, Superman #14, or any of those desirable Golden Age covers, there might be only 1 or 2 above CGC 9.0 on the planet and those are probably buried in advanced collections and might not be offered for decades. So how does a guide value such a book at that grade level ? It's impossile.

FYI Here's something I found out when I briefly owned a copy of PL17. The cover of PL23 is from a panel in 17, except she is facing left to right and there is no background. The editors at Fox must have flopped the drawing and got another artist to draw the background. If anyone has a raw copy of 17, check it out.

I looked and didn't find a mirror image

 

One panel was remotely similar
