Roger66 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Cannot have a GGA thread without a Baker DIARY SECRETS #13 (1952 ST. JOHNS) Classic Matt Baker cover - gray-tone Grade: VG Minus at least Front cover top section shows more wear near the title area with stains, color and paper loss. BC is nice with a small stain spot and thus buoys the grade call IMO. Bottom staple is detached from the FC but the rest of the staples remain tight throughout. Fairly nice spine with wear on both tips. Manufacturing bleed-through on interior of FC. The main GGA image area on the FC remains very glossy. This is a supple comic with close to white pages. 2 clean staples. 100% complete with no restoration.

Roger66 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) To quote the prior owner this is an "uber-rare" Canadian comic TRIUMP COMICS #9 (no date nor publisher given but it is circa 1950s - classic Al Feldstein Junior) Grade: GD/VG at least Very solid, supple, fairly glossy and tight. Book just has evenly distributed wear on both covers with a 1/2 inch top spine split. Some staining on back cover. A press and cleaning would help. 100% complete with no restoration.

Roger66 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 As a dear friend of mine would say when posting a special book...."I don't mind keeping this one." LOVERS #64 (1954 ATLAS) Classic gray-tone Colletta cover Grade: VF-/VF but with a press I suspect a true Near Mint Minus / NM copy Book is unreal / a freak. Feels like it came off the press today. Trace wear with just a bunch of non-color breaking bends and a slight spine roll on FC with a gorgeous BC. Super glossy, clean, tight with snow-white interior pages. Date stamp on top of cover. 100% complete with no restoration. Superb interior art here. Asking Price: $800.00 (a show and tell book) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger66 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) A coveted Romance comic need neither be a Baker nor LB COLE to motivate / compel the viewer to own it. This is a prime example of such a captivating cover, which I have only seen once and here it is. TEN-STORY LOVE #3 (1952 ACE) - Artist unknown despite my research Grade: Fine Minus/Fine - Glossy, tight and fairly supple with cr/ow pages. Some foxing on the interiors and BC. That chip you see on the bottom edge of the BC is not a chip but a very small piece folded / flapped over (I did not try and push it down and it remains there now). FC presents higher-grade. Nice staples and nice spine. Interesting note about the panel art is there is a lot of dialogue in each panel. 100% complete with no restoration. Asking Price: $300.00 Edited October 12, 2017 by Roger66 added to description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
