I struck out on quite a few lots over the last couple of days. Heck, I was not even the under bidder on all the expensive books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was clearly a find of late '54 Charltons down in that area a while back. I miss Kayo. It's been years.👍🏻😢so much fun stuff.

This could have been a calamity for CC and the romance offering, which I believe is predominately their own stock (assuming they're not buying their own books). A perfect storm - a potentially weak market, a troubled site rollout, and most important - an enormous block of books being presented at one time. I think there are 78 romance books in this auction. Prior to this the largest romance auction at one time was a Sparkle City ebay auction on 10/28/12, 46 romance books at one time. For prices to be super strong, given the incredible supply, means that either the overall market is strong as heck, or romance is strong as heck, or both.

Dr. Love Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Just hammered for $2,272 though one I personally like very much, not considered a Cole romance grail. And not the highest graded. FoggyNelson, damonwad, manetteska and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post szav Posted May 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2020 Saw that a CGC 5.0 of this one just went over $300 in the CC auction so figured I should buy this $15 copy right away...although I worry it'll lose 90% of its value whenever Dr. Love changes his avatar...

Only two copies graded and the highest is 6.5. The paper on these Ace books is horrible. I'm surprised that a 6.5 even exists. My preference is for the issue following this one.

Yorick Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 So I got on feebay about an hour earlier than an auction close time for a Girl Confessions #31. I was going to snipe and win it for whatever cost. Guess what - I get so distracted looking up new comic listings - I MISSED IT! Sold for a cheap $40. Congrats to the buyer (and feel free to make money by selling it at a profit to me ).
