Any lucky boardie grab this restored beauty? I thought I had it until the last 5 seconds. guessing @Comcav ? ?https://www.ebay.com/itm/GIANT-COMICS-EDITIONS-15-St-John-Publishing-1950-Matt-Baker-art-cover/184079982951?hash=item2adc05a167:g:gF4AAOSwuEhdzZtI I won this the first time it was listed and had to return it. The first story only had two pages, multiple stories were missing, and the spine was reglued....it was a mess. Pretty, but a mess. It appeared to be cobbled together from various parts, but was well done. Strange book.

I was going up to 300 on it, but in the last 5 seconds it got bid up to the 800 range. I wonder if it will get returned again and go up again for auction. If it was a Frankenbook, that's always concerning as to what's original. Still would have been very happy to have gotten it at 300 though, even just for the nice cover and part of the guts.

This time around he described it, although should have used the words incomplete. The first listing was a fraud, he didn't mention any missing pages or repair. The new winner might have a hard time returning it, if there is buyer's remorse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed, foolishly, from the first listing that it was a production error. In hand, it was pretty clear that it was not. He didn't hassle me about the refund, though I wish the description had been complete. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
