I haven't read as much of their adventures as I want... The dragon lady had a thing for both of them over the years.

Been on my list forever. Don’t ever recall seeing it except right here. I have one of the Honeymoon Romances digests that I got from Harley many years ago. I had no idea how rare it was when I bought it, just liked it. Edited May 10, 2023 by Robot Man Hap Hazard, Iksar and Point Five 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post C. Spaulding Posted May 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2023 Here are a couple recent ‘ish’ pickups. I hadn’t seen either of these issues available before and felt compelled to pick them up. It might be the PCH-side of me but I definitely like the dark shading and almost sinister look of the Love Journal guy.

Popular Post PopKulture Posted May 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2023 At one point in earlier Overstreets, there was a notation “no. 7 exist?” for this issue. Either it was truly elusive at the time or one of those copyright traps for people who tried to ape the Guide. Either way, I was pleased to pick it up recently here on the Boards as I think these long-running DC romance titles are an important part of the publisher’s history and it’s nice to be able to thumb through an example now and then.

jimbo_7071 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 With romance books, I feel like I'm flying blind in terms of trying to determine what's a fair price. I don't know which ones are actually scarce because even though prices have been increasing, Joe Collector doesn't perceive them as being worth much of anything, and the values in the OPG are low for most of the books, so romance books don't get submitted to CGC that often.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted May 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2023 FYI… A couple hundred more “warehouse find” copies of the classic True Life Secrets #23 showed up in my area (LA) recently. Most had been assimilated into the hobby but another stash has been found. pmpknface, buttock, manetteska and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
