Sqeggs Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) For some reason, the 6 isn't visible but the 7 looks great. Congratulations on a gamble that turned out very well. Edit: Now the 6 is visible to me. Great pair of books! Edited April 15, 2015 by Sqeggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadin Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I have lower grade copies of 5 and 6, but I still need a 7. I think the high bidders were hoping the grades were higher than the listed VG+, as, in fact, they appeared to be. There seems to be some discoloration, though, that might indicate tanning. So, at these prices they were definitely rolling the dice, imo. You're correct about rolling the dice. I was one of the bidders who took that chance. I have a really nice Jetta #5 but my 6 & 7 were a bit ragged. My ridiculously expensive #6 & #7 arrived from Italy today, thanks to express mail. The apparent tanning in the photos was thankfully a bit of an illusion. Here's my complete set with the two new additions. Hard to believe that these copies of #6 & 7 have been in Italy since the early 1950's. BELLISIMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen or heard of those, or if I have, it was a looooong time ago. Those aren't in Gerber, are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loving these messages about Junior and Sunny. I never noticed about the paddle grip.....verrrrry funny. Speaking of which, I just bought a copy of Grant Geissman's complete "Junior and Sunny" reprints. It hasn't arrived in the mail yet, but I am really looking forward to it.

Dr. Love Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Love the Cindys too. There's another 37 on Ebay ending tomorrow which should be fun to watch. Looks like some boundaries were overstepped earlier. Sorry mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickamabob Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Looks like some boundaries were overstepped earlier. Sorry mods. Boundaries overstepped? Does that have anything to do with somebody posting about women eating onion rings? (Did I hallucinate that?) Or the comments about the paddle on that Junior cover? (I'm surprised because those comments seemed pretty tame -- just mentioning a possible subliminal aspect of some cover artwork doesn't seem like much of a rule violation.) Regarding Cindy #37, what is it about that particular issue that sends its value into the stratosphere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_SandMan Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Regarding Cindy #37, what is it about that particular issue that sends its value into the stratosphere? Beats the heck outta me.

rjpb Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It's a full foreground cheesecake cover - which seem to demand more ( Archie 50 being another example), and the airbrush? technique makes it stand out as well. Recent prices seem a bit much, but standout GGA in the teen humor genre seems to bring the bids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) I added a bit of flavor to Doohick's comments on the onion rings which tipped it over. Much has been said about Cindy 37, and depending on tomorrow's hammer, much might be said again. The new Archie 50. The painted airbrush cover, headlight plus, the befuddled guy on the sofa, just a classic teen/GGA setup. Bright yellow cover. Ask Junkdrawer. He's a boardie who's been going for them strong, and isn't too shy about it either. The rest of us end up eating his dust on these auctions.
