Am I misreading the census, or is this the only graded copy of this book? 

I would not be surprised.  Many issues of this title don't come up often.  I hope that's yours!  Hang on to it!

Yep.  It's one of a number of romance books that I bought from Harley a couple of years ago.  The OO wrote on the front cover who she (apparently) intended to give the book to.  Many were higher-grade, but this one is a little rough.

Really like this one.

If Mickey ever got these books, I guess he/she must have given them back to the OO.  Nice copy for the grade. Really hammered for a bit of staining and a small tear on the back cover.

There’s a 5.5 [Popular Teenagers #16] in the next clink auction!

Funny enough, the picture is up and it's a slabbed PT #18 with a label that says it's a PT #16.    Still a nice book tho!

Stunning copy

 This too is the only graded copy. Perhaps the epitome of snow lodge - fireplace - love triangle covers...  only thing missing are the skis but who needs them?

Sweet!  Great Cole romance book, complete with the plaid shirt!  Gotta have that...  Just like the LB Cole sci-fi covers there should be a list of his covers with people wearing plaid!

So a while ago I got one of the 50's Men's magazines with a killer Cole fish cover but I just recently flipped though it instead of just enjoying the cover.  Little did I know I'd find this, another Cole pinup AND a brief article by the man!!!  Not bad....

Nice!  I don't recall having seen a copy of that one before.

Nothing like changing a title from "Startling Terror Tales" to "Confessions of Love"; lol. Gotta love it.

(And nice comic, btw)

At least Gaines would probably have made it Startling Tales of Love or something.

 Looks like he is a dead man anyway, even if his name isn’t Steve Martin...
