Yes Sensation 13 seems to be a tough book. I'm in the same boat :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypinkblu Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 So many Sensations are tough, this book only has 9 on the census, that's why I bid on it last night despite the fact I have to pay tax on Heritage, which puts me at a disadvantage bidding. Only 35 more to upgrade...I quit every year, but it's still March, lol. adamstrange, N e r V and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't 'like' Romance books Sharon, but Michele Nolan referred to this phase of Sensation Comics (#94-97) as Wonder Woman 'Romance like' issues skypinkblu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any rate, I really like the cover, even though I'm not much of a WW collector. A little backstory on this copy: A boardie asked me about it, so I pulled it out and found that it was in an old new slab -- the ones with no inner well. And, sure enough, it suffered from the rippling those slabs cause. I notified CGC and they took it back, pressed out the ripples, and sent it back to me in about three weeks, gratis.

skypinkblu Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm happy to have the book, Corey, but the cover reminds me of Katy Keene and paper dolls;) I have nothing against Katy, but she's not a super hero;) Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a raw copy, if I have time during the week, I'll photo some of the pages and post them. I think it's pretty much chain and bondage free;) Edited March 27, 2018 by skypinkblu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to put a stronger bid on this but then I, too, would be subject to the CA sales tax (on top of the $20~ shipping and "handling" fee). Ugh. This issue and #94 need to appear more often. skypinkblu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin76 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I don't know WW or Sensation Comics golden age, what should I be looking for? Which number range and grades are the most desirable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be bidding on all the ones I'm NOT trying to upgrade;) It seems whatever I'm looking for is the hardest;) It seems to change ...I was looking for a Sensation 95 (a nicer one) for years, now all of a sudden I wound up with two, lol.

That I made this new copy cost you about double is just a minor detail. Edited April 3, 2018 by Greenlake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
