Graded pulps are starting to pour onto the 'bay, many with crazy prices. A look at "sold" listings shows very few greater fools so far from what I can see. I guess we'll see if fear crushes greed as happens in exuberant markets from time to time, or vice versa...

Swamp Girl by Evans Wall Pyramid Books No. 39 First Printing 1951 $80 SOLD to Microbia One of the top Pyramid books with the famous bondage/whipping cover by Julian Paul. The 1st print has a more brutal back cover blurb than the later prints. I recently upgraded my first print so am offering this one here, it's even nice than the 3rd printing I sold last time. Fine plus/VF minus. Square, solid tight and glossy. No reader crease, clean spine just a bit of edgewear, light crease and wear on the back.

Terror At Night Ed. by Herbert Williams Avon No. 110 1947 $30 SOLD to NerV Great George Mayers cover art on this nice copy of Avon's first true horror anthology featuring Lovecraft and several other Weird Tales writers. A much better than average copy with decent centering of the red frame that is usually totally cut off on more than one side. Fine/Fine Plus. Solid square, bright and tight, has a fair bit of spine wear but very little to the covers

The Secret Of The Spa by Charles Leonard Thriller Novel Classic No. 30 1944 $18 SOLD to Goldust40 True Golden Age goodness. This hard boiled hypodermic cover was considered classic in the old guide days. Fine. Tight and bright. Has some light creases and bends, a bit of edgewear but a very presentable copy overall.

Basement Gang by David Williams Intimate Novels No. 32 PBO 1953 $120 SOLD per PM Legendary JD/Drug digest with the famous photo cover of the boy with an e*r*e*c*t*i*o*n that was censored on 4 later usages of the cover photo. It's a battle whether this is better or lesser than my keeper. I'll regret selling it anyway. A bright VF minus/VF copy that is super glossy and new looking with no creasing to speak of, just a few bends on the back edge, a touch of wear to the edges, a few of the page tips have minor chipping although the pages are cream/off-white without any brittleness. A fridge magnet for sure.

Vampirella #4 Blood Wedding by Ron Goulart. Warner Books No. 86-088 1976 $55 SOLD to NerV A killer copy. The first and best I've had to list. VF/VF Plus - unread. Square and glossy. No reader crease on the tough black cover, just very minor edge wear on this otherwise fresh looking copy. Pages are lightly tanning. Small rubber stamped code to top of page edge.

Wild Parties by Max Lief Novel Library No. 40 1st PB edition 1950 $40 Tough later number from Avon's racy sister line. Who doesn't love a wild party? Great GGA VF minus. Square, tight, bright and new looking. Has a touch of spine wear, a little dent at top front and bottom, that's about it. Feels very fresh and new.

Seminole by Theodore Pratt Gold Medal 369 1st Printing January 1954 $30 I sold a 2nd print with the slightly smaller art before. This is the full version of the pretty daring wrap around nude GGA cover by John Floherty Fine Plus. Square, tight and bright. Light spine and edgewear. Small dig in the spine. No creasing to speak of.

Vampirella #6 Snakegod by Ron Goulart Warner Books No. 86-090 1976 $50 SOLD to NerV An outstanding copy of this tough book. I don't think I've sold a copy of this one before. Complete with the insert ad for cigarettes. The classic cover from Vampirella 89 was used for this last book in the series. VF Minus. Square, glossy and tight. Has a hairline spine crease, small bend on cover and a few little touches of wear at the edges. Beautiful.

Off Beat Detective Stories January 1960 Bullet through the ear cover $40 Cult classic series with insane cover by Carl Pfeuffer. Super hard boiled stories by the usual 1950's crowd.. VG/VG Plus Solid, tight and bright. Has a bit of slant, creasing, soiling, a host of little things, mostly on the back, but she still looks damn good

Stag Stripper by Gene Harvey Novels, Inc. No. 9 No Date, probably 1949 $25 SOLD to OuterBoroGuy Early Good Girl Digest with a nice stripper cover. These digests don't get any easier to find these days. I'm going to put a few up this sale. Square and tight with great color. Some light creasing and wear. Clean spine. Very collectible copy.
