Darwination Posted Tuesday at 01:13 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:13 AM (edited) Gorgeous books! On 4/15/2024 at 6:58 PM, Dr. Love said: Now that's a kick in the jewels. It was all set to be the 2nd highest graded of a big big book. Still has quite the value given the grade and the slight resto - just not as much as it would have been, obviously. This was an OO pickup, yeh? A nice haul, Atlas romance in these grades just aren't out there! What's OO? And not to knock these gems in the slightest, but is it significantly easier to find these later 50s books "in grade" than earlier 50s Atlas romance?

Dr. Love Posted Tuesday at 01:23 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:23 AM Original Owner. Or OO once removed. Not from an auction or a dealer but a regular scrub like you...and me! Easier perhaps, significantly is relative. 10 years for an 8.0 vs 20, or never? Atomic Atlas are rough across the board. All romance are rough.

Dunno how some of those messages would go over seventy years later I liked it, though. My take? Fred likes em thicc and vulnerable. One of the ending lines, "If I ever slip again, beat me! That's an order, Mister!" Ah, I get it now. The story here ties into the diet booklet the publisher is hawking in the issue. I always wondered what was up with the bizarre advertisement marring the bottom left corner of this romance masterpiece. The opening story from Mort Leav is a great one, too.

Darwination Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) My girls are always a bit shabbier than most you people seem to bring home Had this one out yesterday for a fresh mylar and some pics. Superior edition, 1 copy in the census far nicer than this one at 7.0. A whopping 7 in the census for the Fox edition which is actually a higher population than other issues. Noticed looking at the GCD that some stories were reprinted from this Fox title later in Star's True-to-Life Romances. Something a little weird about how she's caressing that big log Some fun splashes Edited 22 hours ago by Darwination Get Marwood & I, pmpknface, Yorick and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
