Dr. Love Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 What happened to the 6.0 copy? Same as it ever was. Mislabel. Seems GPA made a decision not to "support" mislabels in terms of their reporting. But CGC doesn't roll that way - different text represents different books. A number of board members threw a bid in for this book on that Sparkly night. But there can be only one - and that gent was also the one who started the big run up on Romantic Adventures 50 prices. Not a romance collector per se, more like a romance predator, he swoops in for the kill on high profile books. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Right. The book is actually in the census under the incorrect label spelling. I would guess it would take the owner resubmitting it hoping for a grade bump to get the book entered in the correct place on the census. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were, they might solicit input on errors. I have come across several errors that have gone uncorrected for a considerable time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won the DS 20. Not a great copy but a tough issue that I didn't have. Threw in a couple of other bids on books that mght have been marginal upgrades. Overall, the seller has to be very happy.

Yes, I went after this and the 15 but dropped out after awhile. Both are a fraction better than the copies I have, and I wasn't going to pay a huge price for a nominal upgrade.

Yes, the TAR 31 was a good price. Got a raw 7.5 2 years ago for $80.00. Sometimes cons are still the best place to pick these things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The thread on Halloween covers made me realize that Baker never drew a holiday cover of any kind -- unless I'm forgetting one. No covers for Halloween, Christmas, or even ... St. Valentine's Day. Kind of odd and different from, say, Archie where holiday covers abound. Maybe the erratic production cycles at St John made it difficult to commit to a specific cover appearing in a particular month. They might have ended up having to run a Christmas cover on a June issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
