Thus far, all of the Ace Burroughs paperbacks I've listed are the first printings in paperback by Ace. They all begin with "F" and have a 40 cent cover price. There are later reprints of these covers with "G" and also numerical identifications. This is one of the reprints: Ace 75131, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Savage Pellucidar (Reprint). Almost NF (unread). A nice copy with a small smudge on the back cover and unmarked pages. Frank Frazetta cover art. Free to the first person to purchase 5 or more books. Claimed by Tupenny Conan

I've had more fun collecting, exploring, discovering and acquiring vintage paperbacks and digests over the last several years than I've had collecting comics for the last couple decades. A lot of great material and it's not crazy expensive, just really cool and generally, under appreciated. I was lucky to get a lot of information from some of the big booksellers and a few board members like @Surfing Alien@Pat Calhoun and @OtherEric!

Personal Note: This is the series that got me into collecting paperbacks all those years ago. It's the series that featured a lot of great covers to these incredible stories and it's also the series wherein Frank Frazetta developed his style for fantasy illustration. You can see the evolution of his signature as these progress. Here's a nice copy of one of the early ones. Ace F-180, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan At The Earth's Core. NF (unread). Nice bright copy with very minor surface wear, clean pages. Frank Frazetta cover art. $20 Sold to Tupenny Conan
