I agree on desirability and when I say handcuff I get offered overstreet guide value for some of the late 40s books which to me is nuts as overstreet imo is an obsolete tool. Prices don’t reflect market . These don’t come up often so even referring to GPA I don’t think I get fair market offers it’s based off an old sale or nothing at all . 
 

WW2 covers I can’t afford to collect but I put  some effort in Subbys because I’m close to a complete run . I don’t think that happens everyday as some of these books took a while to find and sooooo much luck at times. 
 

I def want to see what happens if he joins MCU and how that will change interest in all his comics . Maybe it has positive effect on some post WW2 stuff

Congratulations.  I noticed this one at the auction too and was blown away by the cover.  Based on the front, it looks better than a 7.5 to me.  Have you gotten it in the mail yet?  Ken Bald’s covers are usually fantastic.  I don’t know anything about Sun Girl and would like to read some reprints of her exploits (hopefully they’ll reprint them soon). I just read recently in the Venus Marvel Masterworks edition introduction that both Sun Girl’s and Namora’s titles only lasted three issues.  It would be great if Marvel could do a nice hardback book of those 6 comics.  It’s not unprecedented for them to put two different titles in one book because they put the entire Yellow Claw and Black Knight series from the 50’s in one book already.

Thanks! I have not received it yet (the auction just ended Wednesday night). I am huge fan of Ken Bald and his covers. I think all three of the Sun Girl covers are stunning, but issue #3 is probably my favorite. My undercopy of #3 is only a 4.0, so I am so excited to have an upgrade. :cloud9:

Awesome.  Thanks for showing me the other two issues.  Now that you have the 7.5, you can crack open the 4.0 and read it.

Pretty wild result on the MMC 4 tonight, $21,600!  Same copy sold in 2017 for $2,350.  With brittle pages and a missing corner.  Seems like the key GA stuff is really shooting up now too.

Yup, a record sale for that book. (thumbsu
