How do you know she's a Witch?

Is anyone going to this now that it is Fan Expo and not Wizard?

Just a picture of your most valuable Golden Age book.

Did you mean Golden Age, Golden Memory or Golden Retriever?

one of these four pictures will certainly be at the " Little Giant Old School Comic Show"

Go to what? There has been nothing posted other than the rapidly approaching date. I frankly don’t see it happening and if it does, a pathetic money grab like the SDCC farce back in November. 

I contacted the show staff, and they will have strict covid requirements, but the show is supposed to happen.

I hope the Covid requirements go away by mid-March, but doubtful.

This in mind I willl be mostly setting up a smaller hotel show in the future. 

Me too!

       I plan to set up at the San Fernando Valley Comic Book Convention on Sunday,
 6th of Feb 2022. https://www.facebook.com/SanFernandoValleyComicBookConvention
 I will have a lot of new inventory at this show, hours are from 10am-4pm.
 If you want me to bring something specific, you can let me know what you want and
   I will try to bring it. Hyatt Regency Valencia, 24500 Town Center Dr, Valencia, CA 91355. 
  I have over 30,000 comics in inventory at https://terryscomics.com/
There is free public parking at the hotel and plenty of places to eat across the street.

some of the newer inventory I will be bringing:

This just in, Wild Bill's will not be one of the vendors at this event.

so if you are looking for Root beer you will be out of luck, pack a lunch box.

or you can go to:

Wild Bill's Craft Beverage Co. - Premium Olde Fashioned Soda Pop (drinkwildbills.com)

how about Los Angeles Vintage Paperback Collectors Show, despite the name there are lots of Pulps and other paper items.

Sunday March 20, 2022
9am to 4pm

Los Angeles Vintage Paperback Collectors Show (la-vintage-paperback-show.com)

Glendale Civic Auditorium

Was thinking of hitting this since I missed the last Berkeley show. I found youtube video's of shows pass. I don't think this is my kind of show a sprinkle of comics but mostly other non-comic item vendors from the look of it. Guess I'll just hold tight til the next Magic Mountain hotel show.

plenty of comics, Scott Hudlow of Comic Wise will be setting up.

I think the venue for this show is super cool.

you should check it out, it is fun. I'll be there, make a mini vacation of it.

At least!!! You have to go for some seriously disturbing covers to attain any shock value in pulps. 

That only became the case in recent years, it was not that long ago that you could not talk a comic collector into a classic cover pulp, there are so many too.

only after the rumor came out that CGC would start grading Pulps did these collectors invade the Pulp market.

Watch out if they ever start grading Paperbacks!

Actually, early collectors split them up.  Your first pictured group, digest novels, are generally collected with the paperback category.  The second group, anthology series that are issued month to month with volume numbers are usually lumped in with pulps and magazines (Analog, Asimov's, Ellery Queen, Manhunt, etc.).

Thanks for the info, Tim.

Congrats on the move. I was gonna say if there was a lot of books like these it better be a Nakashima!

Those I kept, just getting rid of the vast amount of lesser more common or lower grade good ones I had in the inventory.

What I was thinking, even if the books were only worth 50¢ each. 

I moved my business to Washington and stopped doing paperback and pulp shows so they were just sitting in boxes. 

just no time to sell them individually, and yes it was a nice early 1800's bookshelf. 

actually, more of a secretary with a bookshelf.

It’s about half-way between Seattle and Portland. 

Yes

by the way any collectors that know where the town of Centralia, off the I-5 in Washington state is?

I just traded about 5000 collectable paperbacks, digests and hard cover books to a guy for an Antique bookshelf.

I suppose there would be a lot of bargains there as most were priced more than 15 years ago and he said he would keep my prices on them.

Store is Tilikum Books, 115 N. Tower St., Centralia, WA.

It has been brought to my attention that there has been talk about whether or not this thread should get moved to the pulp section.  What do you guys think?

has it already been moved?

What about digests, there are a lot of digests posted.

they are neither Pulps nor Paperbacks?
