    Thanks everybody. I appreciate your help.

    Have a few MJ 'variants' across a few genres. But one of them has a label affixed. I'm not really asking for a grade on this particular book, but I'm wondering what CGC does with such a label. That is, how much is it relevant to the overall grade?

    Thanks very much.

    I guess the question I posed would seem to answer itself... I mean, PKD original stories in a pulp would probably increase the perceived value. He seems to be an author who is known by non-SF fans. But how about the following by Arthur C. Clarke? I am no Clarke scholar, but I think the story itself is a minor one: 'Seeker of the Sphinx.' But since this is its first published appearance and Clarke is well-known, would this volume be a kind of 'key?' (Of course, there are condition issues.... but putting those aside for the moment...)

    Wow! Great resources! Thanks again for your help!

    As a follow-up, you mentioned 'bedsheets.' Are the following examples of bedsheets? They are a bit larger, thinner than the other pulps I have.

    Thanks to everyone for the informative comments. I appreciate your time. That 'Pulp Magazines Project' site looks very good! Darwination, your article is excellent!

    Sorry if I am asking a question that has been answered before... I'm just a little confused about what publications can be considered to be pulps. Looked at the Wikipedia page which had a lot of great info. However, the criteria are obviously not the publication dates... Is a 'pulp' solely determined by paper quality? Content? So for example, the following from my collection: Are these pulps? I should add that the paper quality on the following 3 mags is far better than 1930s-50s 'pulps' I own.

    Thanks for that. I was thinking of using those as well. Just was wondering if there are any custom-sized bags for these kind of books. BTW, the books you posted are so nice! Mine are all pretty cool IMO but most have condition issues, such as this one:

    Sounds good. Thanks for your advice.

    Just a quick question: How does everyone store your pulps? The few that I own vary in size and thickness, so I am guessing there is no standard pulp bag? The first pictured is rather large, like a magazine. The second is considerably smaller and thicker. I would really love to display them, but a few wouldn't really stand up well. (Looking forward to the introduction of CGC slabs...)

    Wow! Excellent! Thank you very much.

    Newbie pulp collector... I only have two, both of which were listed above. Anyway, here they are.

    As a follow-up, the spine of a different book below would seem to be disasterous for a comic book. Is it as bad for a pulp?

    Just acquired a couple of groups of pulps because the covers really entranced me. Maybe I overpaid--I paid $18 each on average--but I really love them. My first newbie question (more coming on later posts) is about condition. I know that GA comics can get a bump in grade because of their ages... Is the same consideration given to pulps since the material used was relatively inferior? Most of the ones I purchased in the recent lot of wear on the edges and spine. Just not sure how much is accepted for what kind of grade. Sorry that this post is grade-centric, but I was just wondering how pulp magazines are viewed. Since comics have the 10-point grading system (I guess slabs coming soon for pulps?), I wonder what the following magazine would grade at.

    Thanks very much for your help. I'll keep it as is and next time remember to add relevant info.
  17. Fukuoka
    Thanks for all the comments. I didn't input any creator information. I wasn't aware that I should do that. Next time, I'll remember. Maybe as AJD wrote, too many creators and most unknown. Still, something like 'Pencils by Thurston Harper, Dan Gordon, et. al' is possible. Here is a screenshot I took at https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=24019 that shows the large amount of creators and characters. I guess it isn't a big deal. I was wondering if it was a CGC mistake. (The surprise grade was from the somewhat stiff/tanned cover with frayed edge. Thought that would drag it down a bit more.)
  18. Fukuoka
    Just got this back from CGC. Pleased with the grade; thought it would be lower. That said, there is no creator nor character information on the label. Is this an oversight or a mistake? Or, because of the minor publisher, no info was available? Thanks in advance.
  19. Fukuoka
    Thanks everyone.
  20. Fukuoka
    Thanks very much for your time and detailed response.
  21. Fukuoka
    All opinions greatly appreciated. In addition to offering a grade, would anyone be able to guess how much a C&P would help the color on the cover, which was apparently originally white?
  22. Fukuoka
    Thanks everyone.
  23. Fukuoka
    Thanks very much.

    I'd appreciate any opinions on a grade for this. Thanks in advance for your time. Oops, just realized that I forgot to take a picture of the back cover...
