My oldest paperback is from August 1939. The first print of Pocket Books No. 11, The Good Earth (which is listed inside as the "second printing" however the "first printing" was the uber rare promotional nn in 1938. There was no "first printing" of No. 11) I've had one or two first printings of the rare first 10 Pockets but they were such beaters, I sold them. I foolishly passed on a nice copy of Pocket No. 1 First Printing back when I started collecting again, around 2017, because I was not used to spending 3 figures on a pb yet

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

"Crime on the Waterfront" is the other comic I got from John with an Avon swipe cover. The display is not as impressive because my Avon 122 is a true beater, I thought I have a better copy somewhere but it must be buried. At least it's not rare like MMM #49 so I can easily find a decent one if needed. The Avon itself is a swipe from a Private Detective pulp before it. The other two side panels on the comic cover look a lot like Raymond Johnson paperback paintings but I can't place where I've seen them, they are not on any of his Avon covers that I can recall. Maybe Avon dragged out some unused art from the RayJo discard pile

Well, the last two years were excellent for PB buying at Windy City so I am still trying to finagle the opportunity to go again. Although having just gone to the LA show put a crimp in my sales pitch to the wif (and wallet), she still hasn't said "no way honey" if I can find the right flights . I have a buddy's place to stay at downtown so the TCO will be low if I can swing it, even if just for saturday. I'll know within the next 48. It's a wonderful show. If prices are too high on things I just walk by them, who cares? There's a lot of tables.

I don't really have an opinion on a separate pulp sales thread as I only buy a few and have hardly ever sold one so it's ok by me. As far as pb's, I sell a lot of comic-book related pb's and GGA that the G/S/B boardies have testified to me, almost to a man, that they were thrilled they discovered on my sales threads because they now love them but never even knew many of them existed before. So as long as the 40-s-70's pbs can still be sold on G/S/B I'm fine with it.

Okay. That's the end of that box. I have lots more lower value books but think I'm going to hold it up here because I might be having an awesome opportunity for a surprise paperbacking trip I'm going to do something I've never done before in order to clear out books and give back to y'all. 40% off everything left until close at noon EST tomorrow
