If it were line drawn, that might have been enough, but being a photo cover it needed a bit more oomph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was anticipating the interior to be as salacious as the cover. After a complicated deal I was finally able to track one down and it was delivered on Thanksgiving day by USPS (still not sure how this happened). I abandoned my family briefly to open it up and read it and the interior was nothing more than nondescript romance tales. I was so disappointed I sold it within a few weeks. Yep, I'm not a fan of RSG either.... at least not at the current price points. With a cover like that I'd expect an interior to match. Guess not. If I'm remembering correctly, the cover was repurposed from a paperback with the same name. Maybe the contents of the paperback were salacious enough to match the cover?

Ricksneatstuff Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I have had 4 copies of this book and every time I feel a little underwhelmed. Then I talk myself into believing I shouldn't be and I get another one. This was my last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 1980: Very interesting data there from Overstreet 1980. It looks like there has been a lot more variability in what counts as a "valuable" GA book, compared to a "valuable" SA book, over the last 36 years. In Overstreet 2016, here's how the top 10 from 1980 currently rank (in red are the outliers >10): Golden Age: Marvel 1 (5th), Action 1 (1st), Motion Pic 1 (71st), Whiz 1 (12th), Tec 27 (2nd), Superman 1 (3rd), Wow 1 (93rd), Capt. Marvel Adventures 1 (no rank), Walt Disney's C&S 1 (no rank), Captain America 1 (7th). Silver Age: FF 1 (3rd), Showcase 4 (4th), AF 15 (1st), ASM 1 (7th), Incredible Hulk 1 (2nd), FF 2 (24th), JIM 83 (6th), TTA 27 (10th), FF 3 (26th), Flash 105 (13th). Wonder what Overstreet 2052 will hold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually went well below what I had offered the owner for that copy. Unfortunately, I got mixed up on which day of the auction the book would be in and wasn't online when it sold.
