Yet, both of these rather nice looking and superb HG copies were still able to fetch multiples to top of guide.  

But the Terry and the Pirates sold at a lower price than it did last time on Heritage.

Haven't you learned that the past is the past and there's no time like the present?  

Actually, it looks like you are right on here since the book sold for $6,572.50 on HA back in November of 2017 and then resold again for $6,600 a full year later in November of 2018.  

Looks like the consignor must have lost some serious coin on this book here from a percentage point of view as it managed to fetch only $5,160 in this most recent go-round.

Any fellow boardies here win the Church copies of Tessie #1 or Tessie #8? If so, mega-congratulations!

Not only do I like that 52 actually shows the title character, but the 54 cover always bothered me in its execution, the reflection doesn't match the image in front of the mirror at all. It's really pretty pedestrian compared to many Fox/Fiction House books of the time. Never understood why it guides for multiples of the 52.

but - but - but ... she's practically nekkid!! 

Just boils down to the amount of skin on the cover.

I never thought much of 54 either.

Well, it looks like PL 17 has SS 4 beat by about 25 years then since I remember PL 17 already being flagged and singled out in the Overstreet guide as far back as the mid to late 70's.

I guess I was lucky in being able to stumble my way onto my copy of Seven Seas 4 back in the mid 90's when it was still below everybody's radar.  

It's awesome that you've kept the book all these years.

You have been scarce here.  Glad to see your post and hope you'll be back more

The 54 cover is based on a clever concept with the idea that the artist was trying to put something past the censors to provide a little fan service.  It also has a better color design than 52. 

The best artistry doesn't always result in the greatest popularity.

strong auction over 9 million in sales. The secret is out on cap one...anything over 750K, I think I predicted like 777K or something like that breaks the 3/4 of a million barrier and 915K is outstanding considering the whole world knows that the late JV has a 9.8 copy which I think based on this sale would crack 1.5 million.

I sat next to his kids at the live auction, and they applauded, as did we all, when the hammer came down

Wonder if the 9.4 brought it to the table or it was already in the works.

Another question is will this crack $100K  on the next go round or will sanity come back into play as it dips back down to the $50K mark:
