    Amazing as ever Micheal! Every time I begin to drift away from the boards, Serendip seems to be the thread that pulls me back :smile:

    The ever-popular Hillbilly-Science Fiction? Good Sir! Use the socially correct term for hillbilly: "Western".

    I really need to read Van Vogt....

    I have always enjoyed "Foundation", and finally got my hands on the first printing of the story in pulp form:

    given that most all agree the silver age began late 55 or early 56, golden age ends where silver age beings (unless you subscribe to the atom age ) I would say the atom age exists, but is a subset of the golden age

    Who knew they would make a postcard out of that obscure book? I bought a cigarette holder to use as a wallet that had Captain Science #4 on the front, so it doesn't surprise me

    Not sure, but thanks to this thread I look forward to bidding aggressively when some of these come to market next! My lone Ace so far.... That is one heck of a first pick up! I have never seen that before

    That must have been a thrill! I am luckier at finding good knives in a stack of crappy ones than books sadly

    Nice Astounding with the first Foundation story by Asimov! Thank you! It is really hard to find, especially in grade No kidding. My copy is one of the very few pulps where I broke down and went for a semi-brittle copy; I'm still looking for an upgrade. According to the dealer, it was one of Van Vogt's file copies. It lacked any provenance, however, so they didn't jump the price... which, oddly, makes me think it's more likely that it really was. If you're going to lie about something like that it's to try and make more money; if it's just thrown out as an interesting fact there's a better chance it's true, I think. It was by far the most I have paid for a pulp, but I was exstatic to pick it up. I would feel the same way about the file copy. Funny enough, I picked up a really terrible condition copy of a 1953 pulp that was signed by Isaac Asimov on page 149, it was an exciting find!

    and of course, an introduction by Isaac Asimov

    That is very impressive! I always have found Weird Tales to be an interesting run, especially the Brundage covers and H.P. Lovecraft stories
