I happen to collect the "Pictureframe" copies of these books, and yes, they are very hard to find in high grade. Even F to VF copies are noticeably uncommon. Our buddy Greggy just posted a whole slew of Our Love Story and My Love covers in the Bronze section, under the "25-cent Picture Frame Marvels" thread, go check 'em out.

 

I also collect the Pictureframe issues from some of the other titles you mentioned (Chili is non-existant, as is Harvey, Li'l Kids, Li'l Pals, and Millie issues are the worst, hands-down).

 

The few truly high grade copies I own I've shown to some established dealers. Some have never seen the covers before, most say they only see them in VG, and virtually all say my copies are the best they've encountered.

 

Many of these books and issues mean nothing to most comic collectors, but in terms of rarity alone, they are indeed a worthy pursuit for those that do care.

First dibs on your Marvel Romance collection! 27_laughing.gif

 

Speaking of which, there are a good deal of high grade pedigreed Chilis, My Loves, and Our Love storys on pedigreecomics.com. Probably all outside the range you are looking to spend. I know they are outside mine.

Homer the Happy Ghost!

 

Peter the Little Pest!

 

 

These books aren't that hard to find, they are just hard to find in high grade. They weren't the sort of books that were well taken care of.

Welcome to the quest. I'm only 46 book from finishing my Bronze Age Marvel run. Millies, My Love and Our Love Story make up 60% of what I need. Shoot me a PM and maybe we can trade some dupes.

Define CGC prices confused-smiley-013.gif

 

makepoint.gifTop dollar.

 

I believe earlier this year 2 love books from Marvel sold for a little over $300 in CGC9.4. Thats is the silly money I'm talking about. Replacing the ones I have would be next to impossible so it would take alot of dough to get them from me.

 

There is really no data in GPA on these series so it makes it hard to determine there real market value. Seeing how quick the ones on clink went for had me thinking of this about 6 months ago.
