Robot Man Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Wow, what a difference between the old holder and the new one. The colors really pop. What keeps the book from sliding around in it? Pressure? Maybe now, I might send some of my nice ones in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalisbest Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Beauty. Congrats on getting the pedigree recognized! Especially since River City is just one of my favorites. No particular reason why, just is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure? Maybe now, I might send some of my nice ones in. The big difference is that the outer plastic is recessed from the edges, which brings the plastic much closer to the book. I'm guessing that's what reduces the glare (although I only have two examples so far).

The Moon Girl cameo in the last story that the label mentions, is her costume, seen at a Masquerade ball in the Johnny Craig story, which is a good one.

Hap Hazard Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) I recently completed this EC run, the changing titles makes it a interesting run to collect. So I hope the pictures aren't to flashy. MoonGirl 1-8 A Moon, a Girl, a Romance 9-12 Weird Fantasy 13-22 Weird Science-Fantasy 23-29 Incredible Science Fiction 30-33 Thought it would be fun to show the complete run. Grades are from G to VF, average VG. Edited April 18, 2016 by Hap Hazard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC ed Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Congrats, Hap! Lemme guess...was the last book acquired Moon Girl Romance #12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Way to go Steve. Those romance titles are next to impossible to find these days. When I was trying to complete my EC collection I would usually pass on the romance ones in favor of the others. They were, after all , "love" books. I soon figured out how rare they were. Congrats!

Hap Hazard Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 As some have guessed the last book I needed was issue 12 of a moon, a girl, a romance. I found it on ebay but had to pay at least double guide to win the book. I hadn't even seen one for sale in at least ten years! So I bid what was needed to win. Glad to have it though, maybe in another ten years I can get a nicer copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
