seank Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Wondercon 2001 purchases: The girlfriend spotted the Miss Beverly Hills of Hollywood #1 and fell in love with it immediately. We looked at the others the dealer had and walked away with the two best. She now wants the rest of the run. That makes me happy after being married to someone who would never in a million years get near a comic con and who hated comics. IIRC, the Wartime Romances were purchased by a woman in the 1950s and then sold to the dealer by her daughter after she passed away recently. About as close to OO as I think I could get.

seank Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 That Archie 78 just kills me - it's near the top of my Want List! I purchased it from Robert Beerbohm - BLB Comics. He had about five of them in his Archie box. I'm sure he still has at least one or two left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm much happier now and I have a gf that likes comics. Woot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sekowskyfan10 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Just picked this up...ridiculously scarce... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Just picked this up...ridiculously scarce... much like the 1950's funny pages and other funny animal books, they are generally considered "scarce"... in my years, I have found the last 10 issues or so of CC to be available in lower grade, but really scarce above fine... 58 is a tough one for sure...I only owned the one copy that was in my runs years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to find copies that don't have tears at the staples due to the sheer size of them, so that's the source of the lack of high grades. You also run across these in coverless condition more often than most normal sized books from the era. They are some fun books though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
