I'm still after several Weird Terrors in 7.0 or better. This one's pretty nice

WM 2 was the first PCH book I ever bought - sometime in the early 90s. The first copy I got was from Ted VL. It was a 6.5 for the whopping sum of $80. Underrated book

Took a few more pics today. Got a bad angle on this one

Ding, ding! That book rings my bell!

Here's another Harvey corpse(s) rising cover. Northford.

 

A very, very underrated BCM cover. And that's a beeauty!

Here's a little mini group shot of some junky comics

 

Those are some snappy comic books big fella.

Awesome cover. Still looking for a nicer one like that!

a related fawcett title Underworld Crime 7

Yes sir, that one's on my List.

classic!

to woman over wood.

Sweet! Terrific set! Er, pardon the pun...

Weird to weirder

another cool cover from that title

Ah, the 1950s. When airline pilots and doctors got all the hot chicks!

Year of the Romance has begun

 

CL's Focused Auction has 20+ romance books. A surprisingly wide range of publishers: Avon, DC, EC, Fox, Harvey, Hillman, Marvel, Prize, St. John, Star, Superior. While mostly low to mid grade, there are some exceptions (Love Lessons #1 9.6). First issues, high grade, sole grade. There hasn't been an offering like this since that short burst by Sparkle in 2012 (where they flamed out with a 47 book Sunday night spread and cratered from there) and then it's way back to the HA Crippens in 2006. There were the HA Savannahs in 2011 but they were DC specific.

 

When sellers start slabbing up 4.0s, then one might suspect the genre is preparing a breakout. Another way of looking at it is that romance has been lagging the explosive upside of the past few years in general and, given the low average price with which it starts, there is room for movement to the upside. The good news is romance will always be "undervalued", respective to most other books.

 

The question is whether the Winter Auction will continue the trend. HA and CC are not players here - it appears CL has captured this market for the moment.

 

so along these lines - I'll be selling Charltons tonight. Shameless plug!

 

I can assure you, and you can trust me on this, that your high grade Romance books would be welcomed with open arms for the Winter Featured auction.

Not if I don't sell them.

I wasn't talking to you.

really - no makee sense to me - those sessions can run past midnight easily and often do - why not start at 6 or 7PM EST? on a work night? but I guess if Josh was inclined to take anyone's advice he wouldn't have started an auction site competing with HA in the first place

That would make anything closing at 6-8 PM on the East Coast 3-5 PM on the West Coast. Problematic.
