Sqeggs Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Tanning mostly from my scanner. I'm not, not I tell you, collecting all the Colletta Atlas romance covers. Just not happening. Anyone happen to have any of the ones I still need? FoggyNelson, pmpknface, sagii and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ).

MrBedrock Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 An investment tip and a question...Many of the beautiful painted Ace romance comics covers were originally published as covers for their pulp line, which was enormously successful back then. In some cases the pulps were published many years prior to their comic counterparts. Even in nice shape those pulps now mostly sell for less than $15 each. When CGC starts grading pulps those Ace romance issues should increase in desirability and value as more folks are exposed to them. Will the corresponding comics hold their value? szucchini and Cobbledclam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
