jimjum12 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 @blazingbob Just got my package from Blazing Bob..... man, that was fast. Whoever put this collection together had an eye for fresh looking books. Bob's scans are great at showcasing the structure of the books, but the gloss and richness of color on these are really something in hand. I notice a lot of books have sold but he still has a bunch of really nice examples left.

Popular Post Dr. Love Posted August 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2018 I got mine from Bob today too. Some real nice DC's. This wasn't one of Bob's - just setting the DC mood. I know you picked up a copy of this recently, Ron, congrats! comicnoir, comicjack, jimjum12 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jimjum12 Posted August 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2018 This is one of the keepers from Bob's batch.... I've wanted a strong LB Cole romance cover in decent shape for my collection. There are a few that I like better, but only a few. Those would all likely cost more than I can afford in the shape I want.

jimjum12 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 This one isn't from Bob.... but is one I've found to be uncommon. I would LOVE to see Dr Love's copy of this one. It came from Dave( Operator 106 ) …. I've been buying books from Dave for years, he was a regular on the show circuit around here when I was younger. His grading is very tight.... this was a 5.0 and is probably as nice as I'll ever get. It's also another Colletta masterpiece.

You got to this about a half hour before me, otherwise I'd be the one posting it. Love this book, been on the lookout for many years.

Yup, I sold Bob the romance books. I have a "few" romance books in my collection, and I knew I had some duplicates. I figured, maybe one box of raw and slabs, tops. I started to look through the collection and one box turned into two...turned into three...and finally into six. The thought of scanning, pricing and listing them all on the boards...and then packaging and mailing them was, well, not a pleasant thought. If I could sell them quickly in one deal, I would be open to it. Plus I had a lot of decent silver, bronze and modern age stuff I also wanted to move. Nothing spectacular, but decent. Whoever bought the romance books had to buy the other stuff too. I talked to one national dealer at Wondercon, and he expressed some interest. I told him to give me a month or two to finish the list. After looking over the completed list, national dealer number 1 politely passed, as he was not too keen on the silver, bronze and modern stuff (no real surprise to me). Then I thought who else has treated me fairly over the years? Bob and a couple of others came to mind (hint, they were all going to be at San Diego and Torpedo). Bob took a look at the list and an e-mail here and a phone call there, we came to an agreement. Very easy and fair to me and Bob. I was very happy and I think Bob was too. I still have some nicer duplicates. I didn't sell those, as I misplaced some 5 or 6 LB Cole's. They are in one of the many boxes in my collection. I also didn't sell some higher grade dups, as I couldn't decide which was the lower grade copy. So I kept both until later. I heard at SDCC that a dealer bought some (or most) of Bob's romance books. So what you see (or saw) is only part of the book deal he bought. Point Five, adamstrange and Yorick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started out buying some decent, cheap books. I read a couple and they were so funny! I wondered what else was out there, so I picked up a few more...and then the collecting bug for that genre hit me. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
