originalisbest Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 At the time it was an ex-CGC 5.0, still have the label. Don't know who cracked it out, or why, but it looks pretty good as a 5.0 by me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markentoth Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 #19 gets my vote. It's a more classic cover and I love how it's framed. That said, I love #10 too (and need a copy). comicnoir, tabcom and lbcolefan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 19. Compositionally you are drawn right to the girl on the wheel. 10 comes close, but not as immediately eye-catching. For a long time, 19 sold for considerably more in the same grade. I don't think that's true anymore. Markentoth and tabcom 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch88 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Against the grain... 13, 10, and 19. (love the entire run!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul © ® ⚽️💙™ Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 That's a really tricky question. I love 'em both and can't really decide. All I know for sure is that that's one unlucky girl as she appears to be the damsel in distress on both covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind if sellers use several images and include a description of flaws. But when they ask buyers just to look at photos (not even scans) and judge for themselves, without noting any flaws including ones that may not be fully evident, that irritates me. Almost as much as books listed as "very fine" that clearly show multiple large color-breaking creases and pieces missing from the edges. Those are the sellers that should just confess to not knowing how to grade. I will admit that overall, I haven't been any more or less satisfied with books that are assigned a grade than I am with ones that haven't when purchasing on ebay. You figure out which sellers you trust, which you don't, and roll the dice with the rest. goldust40 and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

october Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I had a fine range 19 and sold it (obviously a very bad call), but never even thought of parting with my 10....so I guess another vote for 10. Larryw7 and tabcom 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
