Sqeggs Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Congrats to whoever won this one. I was the underbidder. Just couldn't quite get myself to go higher since I own a 5.5 copy. http://www.comiclink.com/Auctions/item.asp?back=%2FCOMICTRACK%2FAUCTIONS%2FBIDS.ASP%3Fx%3D0%26y%3D0%26pg%3D1&id=1236407 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 And I think whoever won this one made a smart move. Such a tough book and this copy presents very well (at least from the front!). http://www.comiclink.com/Auctions/item.asp?back=%2FCOMICTRACK%2FAUCTIONS%2FBIDS.ASP%3Fx%3D0%26y%3D0%26pg%3D1&id=1236842 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did make me check the census and was surprised to find Teen-Age Diary Secrets #5 (nn) only has 1 graded copy. I wonder if I should make it 2.

Had I not just purchased 4 nice LB Cole books in the last two weeks I would have bid it higher. I thought it would easily go for over 4K and maybe even hit 6K.

Ken TAR 39 apparently is a tough book, and this was a copy that I would have loved to own (I've never owned a TAR 39). Figured it would go north of $4k, maybe up to $5k, still $3,400 is nothing to sneeze at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 For years I've been predicting a closing of the gap between Phantom Lady values and Baker romance values. After seeing the results of several recent auctions... I'd say, that gap, she is a-closin'. JvR11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I would have kept the other one awhile longer. I sold my lower grade one for a couple of hundred and thought that was a great deal at the time. Low grade copy I used to have.
