I'm astounded. That was a four figure book? Is it still? Baker is amazing, sure, but that is quite the run-up!

A truly high grade copy might go for five figures...and some magic beans.

Someone else wanted the book more than me. Did they want it $100 more than me, or $5000 more than me?  We'll never know.  Maybe it will turn up again someday, but I doubt it.  I gave it my best effort.  So...anyway....there's a story and picture of a book I didn't win.

 

Great story...in this case you can know that the winner would have paid a lot more ...maybe that will make you feel better

I do know. The winner of this auction was willing to go much higher than it went for. You weren't even close.

You are a little late to the party

Now, now, Rick........we all can't be as fast on our feet as you. 

Anyways, if Jon had had the Church copy of its Centaur "sister" book, namely Funny Picture Stories 7 which is supposedly also rare and in NM condition according to Chuck, would it have also have gone in the same monetarily impressive fiscally irresponsible    ballpark as the Star Comics 3? 

Or is the Star Comics 3 really an one-off and a truly unique book in the eyes of these collectors?

Do magic beans lead to magic f arts?

I won the fps 7 for a song. I believe the star 3 is unique in that the underbidder wanted it specifically and it happens to be the winner/owners favorite centaur (I have the 6.5 copy of star 3)

You most definitely did on the FPS 7, although I guess the Moderate Restoration rating probably made a few collectors gun shy on the book. 

As for Star 3, I prefer that cover much better than I do as compared to the cover image on the one for FPS 7.  Now, that must be quite a nice CGC 6.5 graded copy that you have there.  Guess I'll have to wait until you get there since you are still back on the "L's" right now.

I think I preferred the way Gator phrased this news to me, but I can take it

Thank you for the further verification.  I was outgunned big time!

I think it would easily do so, which would (I think) make it the first romance book to reach five figures.
