<B>Crime Reporter #2 (St. John, 1948) Condition: VF/NM.</B></I> The name Matt Baker stands for gorgeous female characters more often than not, and the leggy ingenue on this issue's cover is no exception. Interior art was provided by George Tuska, while tut-tutting was provided by <B>Seduction of the Innocent</B></I> author Dr. Fredric Wertham, who maligned a panel from this issue in his book. Reading well is the best revenge! This copy couldn't be encapsulated by CGC because of a slight overhang, but we should note that the highest CGC-graded copy to date received a VF-. So, while this VF/NM couldn't be slabbed, it should most definitely be grabbed, because who knows if one in this condition will come along again. Overstreet 2004 VF/NM 9.0 value = $657; NM- 9.2 value = $875. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
