I remember when I was new to the boards and had a ton of romance never seen by eyes other than my own and I'd do these late night marathon postings. What a trip that was! I've held onto this Ziff. One of the most wonderful romance books I've come across. Painted, by the other Anderson (Allen, not Harry), with a play of light that is masterful for this medium. This was the first romance comic I purchased even though it was well below my desired grade. I would love to see the original painting though it's unlikely to have survived.

Jeeze! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Love-Diary-31-Oct-1952-Comic-Book-/382612447302?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137 I saw that, it was astounding. I used to see this comic for $30-$40 or whatever, 10+ years ago. There were 4 bidders (at least) above the $900 mark. M-F0uRce99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 In a world where a Hulk 181 9.6 goes for 14K, and there are 11,174 graded copies of which 117 are 9.8's, 272 are 9.6's etc... all bets are off, really M-F0uRce99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Not one of the spiffier Crippens, but I can't recall having seen a copy of this issue before. Here's an oddity: CGC indicates it was published by Ziff-Davis, whereas GCD says St. John. pmpknface, 29dukedog, sagii and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they see many of these, so somebody probably looked at Overstreet (or GCD) and didn't notice that 17 was the last Z-D issue and 18 the first St J. issue.

I know this is a small mistake, but stuff like this irks me. CGC is supposed to be all about accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
