They're all good. My personal magazine favorite is this- pic from e bay sale. Edit: Is that Alligator skin?

Only the finest tastes in upholstery from readers of men's adventure magazines

Four issues on this title, all Cole covers.  I'm going to have to buy one of these Star issues just to get a taste of an L.B. Cole produced sweat mag.  This is probably my fave in the series.

Not to be confused with Man's Daring that started in 59 from Candar.

Or the approximately 27 other titles in Devine's Guide that begin with the word "Man's"

Sharp copy!

EDIT:

To give you an idea where it may grade, it looks a tad nicer than my 5.0:

This one somehow flies under the radar. If you look at the hooded ghouls, they are miniature versions of the ghouls on the cover of Blue Bolt 113.

Just arrived!

Weird. Someone else who actually knows what he is talking about agreed with me.

This one was so good it was used a few times.  I forget the book, but somewhere in the Baker thread it was used in an interior, and of course here:

Found it!

Pg 648.

With so few data points, what do you all think would be a reasonable sale price for an 3.0 Suspense 4 ?  A buddy has a book I want and he was asking what I wanted for this.

This is tough...  I'd guess somewhere around $4k.  There's a 4.0 coming up in an HA auction in January, but a 2.5 sold for over $4k in 1/2023.

okay cool, thank you.  Debating if I even want to offload it since I like it so much but I love the Frazetta Famous Funnies run.
