And won for a good deal less than the April auction. If you're not one to obsess over PQ, seems that missing out the first time worked in your favor. In any case, a fantastic book and one I still "need" for my Baker collection. Legion of Goom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% get why the first one sold for what it did (after all, they really don't come up often and it displayed very well for a 3.5- better than this one IMO). I wasn't expecting a second to come up that soon and was happy to snag it at a lower price. Best of luck in your pursuit of one!

Popular Post Point Five Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Yo dude, I'll give you a hint! The title is 'Boy Loves Girl' not 'Girl Loves Older Guy!'

Yorick Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I was looking for my Secret Story 1 to post some interior shots over in the Less Than Ten Census thread, and I ran across this GCD no-show...

Dr. Love Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) In answer to the hottest question on everyone's mind at the moment - will the Promise Collection have any romance? The answer is yes Young Romance #1 - 7.0, not the highest grade by a long shot Ideal #5 - Timely photo cover - 7.5, not the highest grade, there's a 9.0 I guess these were well read!

Dr. Love Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 More Promise romance to come, some real high grade Young Romance photocovers and other romance as well. He's obviously into COMICS, more than just superhero. Hitting all the genres at the time, except maybe not funny animal/cartoon. There is the one high grade Four Color though, so there may be more. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dr. Love Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 and here are the Promise romance to date. It's beginning to look like the kid was more a Church type of collector, buying books because that's the mission, having not much to do with genre preference. I find it hard to believe a male teen in that period would be "into" romance books on the basis of they were just so awesome! And romance photocovers? That's a bridge too far for most if not all, even today. Except myself and @Bumble Kitty! Maybe a case could be made for him being a Kirby freak of the first order, and just followed that fanboyishness into Prize romance. But what about the Timely romance? Just a Timely fan in general? A litmus test will be if he bought Fawcett romance, as they were certainly available (being the only romance title coming out monthly) but exclusively "sappy" photocover (always the happy couple) with no star artists or salacious content. Speaking of which, would love to see some (more) Fox. The one entry showing up so far is a disappointing 5.5.

As we know, romance photo covers are generally slow sellers (except for the few salacious covers). I wonder if these Promise books will bring nice prices or stratospheric prices. Your information might put a crimp in my buying at the Torpedo Con. Dr. Love 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
