Surfing Alien

For sure! Slab worthy!

Nice colors on this copy

It's none of that stuff to me. It's all about the fun things like comparing copies, or having a nice uniform display medium - I look at some of my copies and think there can't be a better one out there or maybe there is, and grading gets people to put their copies up for comparison, look for different qualities like reflectivity and wrap and the whole host of other things that get revealed by grading books, like relative scarcity to value etc. - not to mention the "find" stories and sharing experiences/likes/dislikes. Many people slab their not-so-expensive comics just for the nice display. You could say that people can scan their copies raw and compare them and talk about them here or on some other such board but there's been no place and no incentive for that to happen quite like the curiosity of sending your books in, getting them back, and then the discussion on these boards that I've ever encountered.

Here's an all time classic cover both in composition and execution... i'd love to have this in a nice holder with all the issue info. It's in crazy condition...

This is quite amazing... pure genius.l It has a woodcut feel to it... Love CL Moore

For sure, I would think the Digest Sized paperbacks as well - they should fit right in the TV Guide size holders and have been extensively catalogued already.

There's a whole thread on pulps other than this one. This is not a sale thread either.... just a place to show your beauties... like this Bad Girl...Love me some Bad Girls....

The Thing that Made Love

BOOM! Lot's of killer titles here!

A. Merritt

She was a century ahead of her sex... slightly suggestive cover

This is why people don't talk...

One of his better looking Molls...

Nothing could be finer than neon-belted babes in test-tubes?!?!

First Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury - was pleasantly surprised to pick this up for a song recently - they rarely go under the radar in decent shape.

Wild subject - and looks like half-photo-half-art

Sweet find - I never see these at flea markets anymore. I don't think Perelandra is common but you do see a lot of pics because it's so collected & cool

One of the most Bizarre Space Robot covers i've ever seen... "Inner Cosmos" by Vargo Statten...

Sweet copy... Marty, are these paperbacks you bought when they came out? or shortly thereafter? Guys my generation love the fact that paperbacks were the internet of the 20th century = inexpensive, widespread knowledge & entertainment

Here is the best (IMHO) British Sci Fi cover ever - "The G-Bomb" Incredible mushroom cloud graphic - great draftsmanship and composition

Here's some more Dell fun... #433 King Solomon's Mines movie edition with Deborah Kerr & Stewart Granger...

Sweet - welcome

Some wild British-ness. Post-nuclear age alarm-ism. I really love Glama, who was on the back cover of countless British Sci-Fi titles

awesome... nobody cares about anything rare in these here parts but this is rare for sure...

Awesome Pulp! Kind of funny how in 25 years the cover subject went from a cowering dude in a dress and funny helmet to a Buxom Blonde and Mr. America in a banana hammock
