JvR11 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 I know it isn't romance but the reprint in Daring Adventures (Phantom Lady) is still a great deal considering how Bakers have gone up in value. You can get a decent copy for $50 and under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JvR11 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 I'd have to say that Teen-age romances 19 is a really difficult issue to get. I have a very low grade copy. Are there even any high grade issues out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there even any high grade issues out there? Census says there's a 7.0 and a 5.5. I bought this copy almost five years ago and haven't been able to upgrade in the interim. Hard to see in the scan, but this copy has a bad spine roll. I'd like to get it pressed, just to improve its appearance. With the detached cover, removing the spine roll may not have much effect on the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JvR11 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Here is my copy of TR 19. What is also really rare is that there is a storyline on the interior front and back covers. Edited March 4, 2018 by JvR11 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JvR11 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Never did get the opportunity to upgrade TT2. I like this cover more than most in the series. I know some of you have some nice grades in this one. I'm not sure this would fly today, guy looks like he should be her teacher.

29dukedog Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 My TR 19 is kind of a "do it yourself" copy... first I found a lower grade copy with a decent cover, and decent PQ... but the CF was missing. Then I found another very beat and very cheap copy which I bought just for its CF. I married that CF to the first copy, and that's my TR 19. Several years ago, Tomorrow's Treasures had an upper mid grade copy for sale for almost a grand. I passed on it because it seemed to me the colors had mellowed, and I really prefered my colorful homemade copy. 22 minutes ago, JvR11 said: Here is my copy of TR 19.

JvR11 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 What is also a real treat is when you find the square bounds that have not been flattened. I don't remember where I got this one but I do recall it being an upgrade. szav, sacentaur and comicnoir 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a 7.0 and two 7.5s on the census. Iirc, one of the 7.5s is from the Sixth Street collection. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this would go for 3 times that nowadays. Nice copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
