    All  right,  here's  the Big  Gun  for  the  thread.  

    Crime  Patrol 15

    First  appearance  of  The  Crypt  Keeper,   this is  the  title  and  story  that  starts  it  all.

    Great  looking  copy  with   a  couple  flaws.    I'm  posting  FC,   BC,  and  an  enlargement  of  one  small  section  of  the BC,
    because  I'm  asking   a  pretty  aggressive  price  for  this  one.

    Front  cover  is  sharp,    good  gloss,   minor  general  wear,   and    short  sub-type  crease  that  doesn't  break  color, 
    you have  to  hold  it  just  so  in  the  light  to  see it.  

    Back  cover is  just  as  glossy,   but  has  a  few  small   rust  migrations  from  other  books  along  spine,  and mid-spine  there  is  an  
    apx.  1/4 x 1 piece out,  looks like   a  mouse  or  bug  chew  to  me,   see  the  third  image.  

    4.0?  3.5?  4.5?  If it doesn't  sell  I'll have    it  pressed  and  slabbed.   Interior  is  tight  with offwhite - white  pages.  

    A 5.0 recently  sold  for  $3000 according  to  GPA  analysis.

    I'm  asking  $1200,  firm,  or  I'll  send it out  for  the  press  and  the  grade.

    Ok then where do you draw the line? Tomb of Terror was a horror book but switched to sci-fi at the end. War Against Crime and Crime Patrol are "crime" books but featured the first EC horror hosts. All are considered PCH, as is CSS 22, by most people I know.

    I don't know, but Crime Suspenstories #22 contains all crime stories. Crime Patrol #15 contains a horror story. Not that Overstreet is the answer, but Crime Suspenstories #22 is list as the most valuable crime book and Crime Patrol #15 is listed as a top ten horror book.

    If we are talking purely $$$ potential at auction, I can't imagine any PCH book selling for more than one of the two 9.6 GFC copies of Crime Suspenstories 22. 

    An 8.5 copy sold for $9,560 at Heritage 3 years ago.

    Maybe, but it is Crime Suspenstories. The cover may be horrific, but it is a crime book.
