DIARY SECRETS #24 in 2.0/2.5. With thanks to October, an upgrade frees up this copy of DS #24... the perfect entry-level/affordable copy. Glossy with really vibrant colors for the grade. (A slabbed 2.5 just finished at $384 on Heritage; this one presents much better IMO.)

$275  SOLD

BATTLEFRONT #15 in 3.0. One of my favorite Russ Heath Atlas covers... graphic and brutal, beautiful inks. Decent VGish eye appeal, but worn around the edges; cover appears detached at bottom staple. (I've owned 5-6 copies of this issue over the years and it seems particularly prone to pulled staple flaws.) 

$110  SOLD

CRIME MYSTERIES #8 in 2.5. One of the standout covers of the run, with a racy bondage cover and great colors. Cover wrap is neatly detached at the staples, but covers are secure to each other with no splits. One tiny tape repair inside.  

$290  SOLD

Have to start somewhere.  :takeit::whatthe:

You're off to a great start!  :)  This is a fun one. Wish I could buy others in the DS run in exactly this condition.

FIGHT COMICS #27 CGC 4.0 Qualified, OW Pages. Beautiful copy of one of the standout GGA bondage WWII covers in the run, qualified for a piece missing from the first page. Strong colors and eye appeal!, and very respectable reds/oranges which are often a problem for Fiction House covers. A non-qualified 4.0 sold for $922 in 2021.

$350

FAMOUS FANTASTIC MYSTERIES LOT OF 3. Nice little set of FFMs from 1945-1946, average 3.5 or so (not that I know much about grading pulps). The skeleton hand/GGA cover is the coolest IMO and looks to be in the best shape of the three, tight and glossy. Page quality is surprisingly nice on all, offwhite to white.  

$50 / lot of 3  SOLD

THRILLING WONDER STORIES Spring 1944. Nice pulp with a great lush Earle Bergey GGA cover, grades around 4.0/4.5 in comic terms. I've offered this a bunch of times before -- now here at a rock-bottom price.

$25   SOLD

ROMANTIC HEARTS #11 in 4.0. Vibrant colors on this tough book. Presents like a midgrade, but light color loss in the logo due to moisture, and moisture areas on the back. Book lies flat and is a beauty. 

$125  SOLD

DEAR LONELY HEART #2 in 2.0/2.5; ROMANTIC ADVENTURES #41 in 4.0. DLH #2 (fairly tough book) is kinda rough with a bottom corner chew, cover detached at top staple, nice colors. The first page of RA #41 has a direct swipe of Baker's Diary Secrets #17 cover with two teens embracing on the beach... lol, kinda cool.   

$25 / LOT OF 2   SOLD

So Heritage reached out to me the other day about my bill... I think I may need to sell a few more books.  :eek:

In the US, secure USPS Priority ship/sig confirm is extra at cost. International boardies welcome; will ship via USPS method of your choice as long as you assume the risk once tracking is provided. First 'takeit' wins, whether in the thread or via PM. Payment: Zelle or Venmo (preferred), Paypal. Returns for any reason.

 

Were you wearing that plunging green dress when we met IRL? I'd have thought I'd remember that. hm
