MrBedrock Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Here is one that is collectible for some odd reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FineCollector Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I started considering cross genres or subsets and I think I've come up with the least desirable type of golden age comic - Photo Cover Western Romance! I can't help but think that if these covers were line drawn, and the girls had pointy boobs, people would be climbing over each other to buy them... Where do sports comics rank on the list?

Robot Man Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Now, that's one I'd take for the right price. No horses or creepy dudes to spoil it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat-Man_America Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Of course every non important krappy western, or any book of any kind, is always IN SUPER HIGH GRADE, WHEN ITS MR BEDROCK, Remember kids, Its Ritchie world and we all live in it ! I've learned to corral any impulse to pony-up just because Ricky rides tall in the saddle. Too much horsin' around in those cowboy romance books for a city dude. Granted, super high grade is the Bedrock brand ...and the Circle E is hard to cover with a running iron..., but looking behind the barn door, free range westerns usually end up more bull than Grade A prime. Maybe this sorta stuff can get a hand excited in the Bunky house, but these don't stirrup much enthusiasm in the Cat house. I'll end this with a Harley Yee-hah!

Like all genres, there are some cool sports books. Mostly ones with HOF baseball players. I seem to be only able to sell them to sports collectors though.

catman76 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I always wondered why so many early romance comics have photo covers. I guess publishers thought that females would be more likely buy a comic because it had a photo cover that looked more like a magazine and not be embarrassed buying a silly comic? Or maybe it was just a coincidence that romance comics were really popular at the time photo covers were a more common thing? Seems there was a small window of time where photo covers were all over, but it didn't last very long. Just generic photo covers anyway, not counting tv or movie related comics that came around in the later 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBedrock Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Where do sports comics rank on the list? Near the bottom among comic collectors, but there is a small amount of interest in the sports memorabilia community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
