Truly serious book on Ebay

[showcase4]

Good thing... it will help hold him over while his OO doesn't sell...

 

If I REALLY wanted to sell OO now, it wouldn't be hidden in my Ebay store with a high BIN price

Reform School Girls! 7.5 no less, good luck Showcase-4!

Reform School Girls

 

Anyone on the chase?

 

Should be interesting to see what this brings. We had a unrestored VF a few months ago that brought pretty good money.

One thing that shows how confident he is is the no-reserve which I personally think helps the bidding on as well.

 

yes....I am very confident with the success of this auction...no reserve needed. Thanks for starting this thread . I am presently expanding my GA focus to Superheros( finally, ...this is the 1st time I have used this on myself- ) but my GA experience to this point has been rare/esoteric pre-code comics from the 1950's. For this genre, there are 2 sure things/ pre-code "Grails" ......Black Cat 50 and Reform School Girl!. They are both absolute gold each and every time I have touched one.

 

PS I am ALWAYS buying Reform School Girl! and Black Cat 50 in high grade

Hey Showcase-4, You and me may not agree all the time, but I do respect you perspective on things. As far as my continual KK comments, it is just kidding on my part, but when you first started posting you sounded like him. You really should dig up some of his old threads, He was great at stirring the pot. Good luck with the auction, it is a truly scarse book and a definite grail for GGA collectors.

Front cover of the paperback that preceded the comic book. This is the 1st Avon printing but there was an earlier 1941 publication.

I had no idea this book was worth this kind of money.. 5k for a vf with 8 days to go? Yowch.

In my opinion, no Harvey is a sure thing. There are plenty of high grade BCM 50s around, and probably a lot more than I have seen due to the huge Harvey find. Not a good choice for a solid investment, in my opinion.

 

I see that you bid $650 for a raw 4.0 copy. What would you spend for a CGC 9.0 copy?

Hi,

 

Actually, the famous 1948 Diversey Digest version is the true pre-cursor to the comic - the digest is an especially sleazy looking thing with its lurid coloring and is much sought after by paperback collectors. Supposedly, the model was a Canadian Skating star whose father sued the publisher because it made her appear to be the character in the story - they made them remove a page from the book - it's an interesting tale. I used to have a nice copy I sold years ago - wish I had it back but here's a swipe off the web:

3 sales at Heritage over the past few years:

 

Good 2.0 $920

Good+ 2.5 $1,470

VG+ 4.5 $2,151

 

based on these 3 low grade sales, I believe my est. of $10k+ is very, pardon the pun, Realistic

Please keep the hype to a minimum.

Showcase-4;

 

I heard some guy on these boards here has a semi-HG copy of this book available for sale on eBay without a reserve. You better rush over there to check this out.

Holy cripe! I never really thought of this book as much more than a cheezy cover.. those prices are impressive!

Thanks for posting this Nick. I was going to report this fraud to Ebay, but the seller has already ended his auction ( unless Ebay pulled the plug )
