Thanks  (thumbsu

It's a 9.4 Western Penn, when I bought it almost 20 years ago it was the highest graded at the time.  Since then there's been a 9.8 and some 9.6's and multiple 9.4's as well.

Not that I was grade chasing back then, it's just a gorgeous book and I love high grade merch, but still there's a lesson contained within - when it comes to bronze and time...there are a lot of books out there

I consider this book along with Super DC #17 Love 1970 and DC 100 Page Spectacular #5 to be the “Triple Crown of the Bronze Age DC Romance Giants.”

Sadly this guy isn’t accepting offers. Lol. https://www.ebay.com/itm/154421561337?hash=item23f43e07f9:g:f30AAOSwW3pgfoze
 

The registry on that copy doesn’t do anything for me. There are great Don Rosa copies but that one isn’t among them in terms of registry.

I own the 9.4 Oakland copy so I'm good with my copy.

I remember seeing this copy the first time it was displayed in SDCC in 2005 and I couldn't believe how horribly over-graded it was. 

That is not a nice copy. :screwy:

In the spirit of some of the Promise books that sold at the recent Heritage Auction.

Was this psychedelic style quite common in late Silver Age and early Bronze Age romance comics?

I recall Jim Steranko’s story having this appearance as well.

That’s the extent of my knowledge about the subject, feeble as it is.

Not as common as one would hope... here’s another good one (pic borrowed from a sale on the boards in Feb.).
