I saw that same book over 40 years ago when Chuck brought the first batch to Casual Con. It grabbed my attention and appealed to me at the time. But I dropped it back in the box. I mean, who would pay double Guide for a “girly” book? That's excellent, Bob! Thanks for sharing a chapter in it's history. Since I first saw the book around 30 years ago, I've always wanted a copy. But when I was a kid, yes, this would've been in the category of "not collectable" for most of my friends. And thanks for putting it back so it could find it's way to me!

szav Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Lotta nice Promise collection Mary Marvel related books coming up soon… I’ve been trying to find d the right copies of a few particular issues with no luck for a while. Probably not gonna be a good time to jump on the bandwagon. Should be interesting to see how they do anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks for putting it back so it could find it's way to me! Glad it found a home with someone who loves and appreciates it. As much as I liked it, I was more after anything with a decapited head or a bad girl tied up in a torn dress that day... Even at double guide, a hundred bucks bought quite the pile of Church books. $100. was about a months rent for me then. As odd as it might seem today, I had very little competition for most of them. Everybody was crowded around the superhero boxes. One of the most exciting days I've ever had collecting comics. Anybody who has never read Chuck's "Tales from the Database" story about the Church collection, you really should. Like a book you can't put down. The Chapter about taking these books out to CA to the little Casual Con, is very accurate. Randall Dowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post szav Posted November 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2021 (edited) T'aint no 9.8 but it cost me less than 1/200th the price. These nicer Mary Marvels don't seem as ubiquitous as your run of the mill Fawcetts...probably the good ole days of easily finding these in high grade for those newer to looking for them is long gone.

Off the spine staples and quite the shadows on the bc, both horizontal and vertical. The two 9.2's are both Crowleys - one of which has the full stamp on the fc. So there's a sweet 9.0 coming up in the HA Sig auction that might be the best value out there for this exceptional book. mustang33guy, sagii, Randall Dowling and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
