Dr. Love Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I aquired this book with an estate sale I aquired, I am admitedly not a romance collector so I was curious on the rarity of this book. I could find none on the census (USA or Canadian), and no ebay results. It is All Romances #1 Canadian edition Ace book and has pencils and ink on the first story by LB Cole. Any opinions? All Romances #1 on Ebay So this will give you some comparative valuation. Brunom is a seller out of Canada - he has other Ace "Trans-Canada" books in nice shape. This copy of All Romances #1 has been relisted each month for at least 9 months, maybe longer. Brunom doesn't drop his price on the relist, nor take offers lower than 90% of the ask. I've thought about buying this book from time to time - I would if it were $75 for sure. But I like Canadian copies, most (US) collectors don't. So that makes your copy worth around - $15? $20? On the other hand, I've never seen a nice US copy of this issue, and his and yours are the only Canadian copies I've seen. Romance - hard to price out just based on scarcity. Demand is the more important driver. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Kind of a stray impulse buy. Looks a lot better than the grade, which is probably why someone bothered to slab it. The stuff on the right side and the bottom of the cover is a scanner artifact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Kind of a stray impulse buy. Looks a lot better than the grade, which is probably why someone bothered to slab it. The stuff on the right side and the bottom of the cover is a scanner artifact. That's real purdy, Sqeggs. From an aesthetic point of view, you can rarely go wrong with Girls' Romances.
