I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours!

Nice color as well. I've really come to appreciate deep colors on pulps. There are so many that look dull and lifeless. -

I'll never have all the Weird Tales I want either but I finally manned up and picked up one I had to have. I remember buying Conan 58 off the newsstand as a teenager and me and all my friends fell in love with Buscema's Belit. Brundage, 1st cover with Conan, great author/story line up and nice bright colors. It's a keeper for me. -

Nice! @OtherEric It's an Argosy kind of day as this cool WW2 cover just arrived at my place. I like finding inexpensive war covers. -

Wow! Awesome story... there are still finds They looked very fresh overall, not the usual ratty brittle things that are dragged out to auction. -

https://www.ebay.com/itm/164211809405 Incredible action on these Black Mask pulps today...I hope we have some winners here today 🙂 -
Some random goodness just in... A couple of razor sharp Popular Library's from the later gritty art era An unread copy of the 3rd Ace double And finally, a Maguire that you wouldn't know about from the guides because the early printings had a different, much tamer cover. This 16th printing gets the full length Maguire babe treatment. One of many pb's where the later edition is more desireable.

Phenomenal books. Thanks for sharing these. It's a little ominous with the story "Unlucky Larruper" -
I took a quick look on the interwebs for some of those Belarski re-uses. There are a ton of them actually. This was 5 minutes of searching Google for Belarski pulp covers - it helps that i've seen so many Pop Libs in my time so when I see a pulp cover that looks familiar I know there's a Pop with it

I posted a link a few pages back to a thread with loads of swipes between the paperbacks and comics but the link is busted now. As to Belarski specifically, i've seen a bunch of Popular Library covers that started as pulp covers. I wouldn't know if he owned the rights and it was him re-working them or the publisher re-using and re-touching them.

This working from home thing is giving me waaaay too much time to hunt the interwebs for paperbacks, but i've actually dug out a few great bargains. I've never owned a copy of Deadly Streets although it has always been on my want list. I've thrown dozens of thrill bids but nice copies have always been bid up too much but I threw a thrill bid at this and for once no one who cares must've seen it so I got it for a relative song. It's a centerpiece of any JD collection. (P.S. you did not overpay for that Doll's Trunk... very tough that nice)

So I had to actually go and watch that video. While I would not do or recommend any of the color touch techniques they applied (To an LA Bantam Shadow Picture cover no less ) The vaseline might not be a terrible idea, if they are saying it is effective in removing the residue of lost lamination, AND it would leave no odor. From Westy's post I thought they were suggesting the vaseline sheen would replace the sheen of the missing laminate. Missing laminate often leaves a dull residue from the long-dried lamination glue and can look bad enough that I could see trying to clean it off. The microwave "trick" to soften glue to correct spine lean is interesting - but I keep seeing visions of a Gremlin exploding in the microwave lol.

This... it was amateur each time for me. I suspect that, like buying comics in the 70's before the stigma of restoration arose, collectors thought little of hitting a white crease with a marker to make it look better in a bag.
