thecollectron Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Of all the screwballs bidding on this book last night, apparently I was the screwiest. So now I'm the proud papa to a Farmer's Daughter #3. Classic Irv Spector goodness. Nice pickup! Luckily the final price on that one didn't go as high as similar books of late. There have been a lot of bidding wars for some of these books This series and G.I. Jane are tough runs to collect in any shape. Nice copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iksar Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 No. 3 is my favorite cover of the run. I've never seen a 4, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the Farmer's Daughter run is only 4 issues long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Whoa on those Jetta auctions! Jetta 6 auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitterOldMan Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Whoa on those Jetta auctions! Jetta 6 auction Ouch! I was lucky enough to obtain 143ksk's under copy four years ago. Completing a mere three issue Jetta set is extremely tough. Took me several years to obtain the three issues. Was some Jetta OA on heritage several years ago. The seller is located in Italy. Poste italiane took three months to deliver a letter to me from Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I have lower grade copies of 5 and 6, but I still need a 7. I think the high bidders were hoping the grades were higher than the listed VG+, as, in fact, they appeared to be. There seems to be some discoloration, though, that might indicate tanning. So, at these prices they were definitely rolling the dice, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitterOldMan Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Tony, $1225 for Jetta 6 is more than I paid for my Cap 3. I believe that you guys are better at digging up rare comics than I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray, I think you are pretty savvy. Too savvy to pay that kind of money for that book! I hope the buyer got a 7.0 with decent pq, as I imagine he is hoping. (And that the book makes it way through the Italian and U.S. postal system intact!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
143ksk Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I guess it's time for me to post this set again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Just looked at the census again and if the pq isn't too disastrous, maybe those books that sold today will be census toppers. Although I guess they are the type of books where nice raw copies might still be floating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have the complete runs of Farmer's Daughter and GI Jane. I will try and post them one of these days. None are over fine. I only have Jetta #7 though. I got it about a year ago for guide. The other 2 are gonna cost me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Whoa on those Jetta auctions! Jetta 6 auction Ouch! I was lucky enough to obtain 143ksk's under copy four years ago. I sold / traded / gave (?) my overcopy to 143ksk some time back. If he upgraded, you have my book. Small world these boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitterOldMan Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Here are my three raw copies. I apologize for the poor picture. I had to take the smartphone photo without flash and lights on to avoid reflection on the comics. Unfortunately, the sun just set. Hope to meet my fellow collectors at Wizard Chicago this year. I met sqeggs last year in New York City and discovered that we both graduated from the same high school and college (UC Berkeley). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Is pre-teen humor ok? Little Audrey hasn't worn too well, but I think this one of the toughest of the St John Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
