Who can resist these books? :D

Nice pickup! :applause:

 

I almost couldn't resist it again, myself! It really is a minor key. Great price, too. A lot less than I paid for my copy - but then again, that was the McClaughlin Church. Matched up with Chuck's catalog, btw. And it actually does have a unique smell to it.

I wonder the total number of Church romance books McClaughlin bought? I guess he was buying both before and after Chuck's catalog came out. Did you pick up this copy in the HA auction? I wonder if all his Church books were sold then?

 

I have a lot of questions today! :D

Huge numbers (for romance) on HA for tonight. Both are the only graded copies for the issues.

 

Top Love Stories #11 8.5 CR-OW $585

Love Classics #2 9.0 OWW $454

 

Someday in the future ...

 

Old collector: "Yes, my children it's true. There was a day when superhero comics sold for more than romance comics."

 

Young uns: "We don't believe it! Superhero comics?! With their cliched stories and mediocre art? Who would prefer them to romance comics?"

 

Old collector: "Those were dark and unenlightened times."

I've been collecting romance comics for years.

 

Why? Five words: Beautiful women always on covers.

 

Not that there's anything wrong with men in tights.

Congrats Sqeggs on that recent acquisition of Forbidden Love 1 (and welcome to the club!)

 

Thanks. I didn't think I would get one so quickly, but unfortunately Jimbo needed to part with his. I think he knows it will be in a good home.
