General Fiction - Argosy, Adventure, Short Stories, Blue Book & more
OtherEric replied to Scrooge's topic in Pulp Magazines
This small run has parts 3-7 (of 7) of The Chessmen of Mars. It's not that I was actively seeking out the Burroughs issues, it's that most of the box my LCS got in was Burroughs issues. They certainly have a higher appeal than the issues without any names I recognize, though! I think the 3/11/22 issue does cross the line from "annoyingly out of register" to "fascinatingly out of register", at least. -
It looks like, as the #181 becomes impossible, the #180 is gaining momentum as an alternative... and, of course, the fact that it's the actual first appearance. I'll need to dig my copy out of storage, even missing the marvel value stamp it's looking more and more like that was a well spent $5 back in the day. (I've never had the #181)

Right, just going to post a few of the issues I've already got scanned each day, since i still haven't replaced my scanner. I think some of them are already on the previous page, but I'm just going in order. These three are all from 1921, so a century old now. They each have part of the original serialization of "Tarzan the Terrible"; but I've only got 3 of the 7 parts: -

The only one I'm sure of the source on; although I think the one in the upper left is a colored version of art from the first issue?

This 100 years in Your Magazine Collection
OtherEric replied to Jasonmorris1000000's topic in Comic Magazines
Not a super difficult run to put together once I started looking, but not a series where all the issues are available instantly if you want to throw money at people either: -
I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours!

In today, this gives me the whole run. I’ll post a group shot in the 100 years thread at some point:

OtherEric replied to mr.schomburg's topic in Pulp Magazines
As others have said, none of these are particularly high value at the moment. But pulps are surprising a lot of people right now, so who knows. The Planet Stories has an interior illustration by Wally Wood, by the way. -
Very good indeed!

Two-Gun Bob's Saloon - The Pulps of Robert E. Howard
OtherEric replied to RedFury's topic in Pulp Magazines
Robert E. Howard is one of the pulp creator names the comic book collectors actually know. My guess is they grabbed on to the name and things went crazy from there. -
Given that I grabbed a bunch of books from a quarter bin at my LCS last week... the dollar box isn't going away any time soon. Although the way the store has it set up, there are about 16 long boxes worth of dollar bins and 3 long boxes worth of quarter bins.

And, not something I had twice, but how I wound up getting a book back to the son of the original owner:

Sold most of my EC collection (maybe 20 books at that point) to pay rent about 15 years ago. The issue I came to regret getting rid of the most was the beat up Weird Science #18, which was either my first or second EC ever. Found it in a box at ECCC a few years ago, and recognized it. Very happy to have it back in my collection, I think I actually paid less for it the second time!

Percent of collectors who would pay more for...

I can't edit my answers and the question wasn't on the poll when I took it. -

OtherEric replied to thunsicker's topic in Comics General
One of the two 30c Marvel variants I own was a quarter bin find about 5 years ago. Uninformed sellers still aren’t that rare on price variants, even if they’re not as common as a few years ago. -

OtherEric replied to thunsicker's topic in Comics General
It will not let me delete the @ for some reason. There are always exceptions to every case, my answers are all fairly general. I'll pay slightly extra for Whitman DC's, for example, even if I generally won't pay extra for price variants. -

Record Magazine Prices - Throw out your Overstreet Guide!
OtherEric replied to bounty_coder's topic in Comic Magazines
So, I was a severe underbidder on this one; it went for way more than I would have expected given that, while it's a nice copy, it sure doesn't look like it could get much higher than an 8.5 to me even with a clean & press. I'm not the expert on grading, though. I'll content myself with the lower grade copy that started at $1.99 and nobody but me bid on. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SIX-MILLION-DOLLAR-MAN-MAGAZINE-ISSUE-7-CHARLTON-EARL-NORUM-ART-EXCELLENT-SHAPE-/384065999383 -
It's the first book with Educational Comics as the publisher in the Indicia. Picture Stories from American History #1 is the first with the EC logo on the cover, I believe. No clue on Saddle Justice #3 being the first with the Entertaining Comics logo.

OtherEric replied to gadzukes's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Action #12 was cover dated May 1939. That's simply the first Zatara cover, full stop.
