Although, I really like the color on your old copy better (unless, it's just a scan issue). I almost always go for color strike over technical grade.

All but the #3 are in great shape, despite having no covers. I didn't have to cheat at all- (buy a book and remove the cover)- not once! Took almost ten years, tho. Now I can just add color photocopies of the covers, cut to size, and I'm in business. Awesome ...... and much, much, much more difficult than one would expect (unless he/she has attempted it). I've been working on a different 6-book "remaindered copy" run for almost the same length of time, and I'm still two books away. Very nicely done, Richard. 29dukedog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last few years, I was also just two books away. The #1 and 2 each came up on eBay within the last couple of months! Remaindered copies would be much, much more difficult (assuming you mean books with at least the bottom 2/3 of the fc still there). Don't think I've ever even seen one of those in a Torchy...

Think it was offered on the boards here before it was auctioned off. Someone must have a higher grade raw copy, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricksneatstuff Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 In terms of value Cindy 37 clearly wins in low to mid grades for sure. I think in the very highest grades an Archie 50 is preferred. The highest graded copy of Archie 50 would sell for more than this copy did (maybe twice as much). The second highest graded copy of Archie 50 (several 8.0s) would sell for more than a 6.0 Cindy 37 too and I think would sell for around the same as this highest graded Cindy 37. There are obviously more Archie collectors and there are more copies available of Archie 50 (13 Cindy 37 on the census and 65 Archie 50 copies). I have had 3 Cindy 37 copies and 7 or 8 Archie 50s. I will gladly pay the cost of the highest graded Cindy 37 for one of the tied for 2nd 8.0 Archie 50s @Junkdrawer From a personal preference standpoint I definitely prefer Archie 50. I have wanted to love Cindy 37 but it has never really kept my interest for long. I guess I don't like the china doll baby look much. To all the Cindy 37 lovers out there I salute you though and I think the book is a great GGA classic, just not one I am as into. 29dukedog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
