  1. The OA sold a few months ago on Heritage. https://fineart.ha.com/itm/ed-valigursky-american-1926-2009-eye-in-the-sky-paperback-cover-1957-oil-on-board-18-x-11-3-/a/8027-71106.s?ic4=OtherResults-SampleItem-071515&tab=ArchiveSearchResults-012417
  2. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite MacDonald, but April Evil would definitely be on the short list. Love the Maguire cover too.
  3. You should re-post these. I can't remember what the "vintage naughties" look like. Also, it's good to have another Keene to look forward to.
  4. I read the first 3 McGee books and liked them, but so far, I'm more of a fan of his earlier books (including The Executioners).
  5. A few more. Has anyone seen a copy of this book with the tongue and the lip reversed like this before? I cracked this out a year or so ago and always thought it was some odd attempt to show a wound until I just noticed the other pics I found on the internet have a regular looking mouth. Looks weird.
  6. These covers aren't completely false advertising, but it would have matched the story better if the guys were staring at a bowl of soup instead of a hot babe. I'm sure it was just an oversight.
  7. Even though the Pocket "frames" show less artwork, I'm still a fan of the style. Changing the frame colors to compliment each book works well. Much better than that grey bar on the left side of the book they used in later years.
  8. A couple Pocket Books. And Then There Were None has a very confusing publishing history for such a classic book. I grew up thinking of it as Ten Little Indians and wasn't even aware of the original N* version (which was used in England into the 80's). I think now all the Indians and N* are replaced by "soldiers" in the story. I recently watched the 1945 film version of And Then There Were None (they used Indians) and they completely Hollywoodized the ending. A load of cr*p.
  9. I'm also a Lone Ranger geek. 56 different pinbacks (mostly from the late 30's to early 40's) and some miscellaneous stuff. 1948 Frontier Town with 71 structures and (4) 20" x 26" maps. There were 9 different Cheerios boxes with structures on the back and each map with extra structures could be had for 10 cents and a Cheerios box top. The buildings are put together with tabs and slots and I made these from a complete uncut/unpunched set. The radio show had multiple episodes based in the town. 1940 card set with wrapper and 8 x 10 premiums (still 2 cards and one premium short). You had to mail in 5 wrappers and 3 cents for one of the premium cards or 25 wrappers and 10 cents for all 5 cards. A couple of paintings.
  10. Before View-Master's, there were stereoview's. I collect them of Yellowstone from the 1870's-1890's and have a little over 300 so far.
  11. Good catches Electro. Avon did a lot of that with the Romance books too.
  12. Another boardie, but he has a Do Not Disturb sign up.
  13. If I was an outlaw, I'd skip the bank and steal some OA from the Russ Heath store. Thanks to jimjum for a cool Atlas.
