  1. SOLD! (in a heartbeat!)

    Racket Squad in Action #5 Feb 1953 Charlton Pubs

    Everybody knows this one. If you don't have it, you probably want it. Classic high beam "headlights" cover.

    Very nice, glossy, clean, bright complete copy. Has just very minor spine, edge and corner wear as shown in photos. Was cut a little off and the first couple of pages have "siamese" tears. No major tears or creases. Book and centerfold are bound well to book. Interior paper is slightly off white and fresh. Very presentable copy.

    $125.00

  2. Alright, I get it... You people are pretty much comic book only people. I don't know how else to convince you that there are other related things out there at very affordable prices to complement your comics like this...

    Startling Stories Spring 1944 Better Publications Pulp Mag

    Oh man, this is a classic cover! Just check it out. What would this be worth if it were a "comic book"? You GGA guys are really missing out if you pass up this one.

    A very nice complete copy! Worst problem is the small chip out of top edge and the tiny one at bottom and the lower right corner. A few very tiny edge tears which is par for the course with pulps. Cover ink is Blinding! Spine is square and tight with full paper. No other major tears or ny creasing. Interior paper is yellowed but very supple with no interior tears or creasing.

    WAS $50.00   NOW $40.00

  3. Capt. Easy #12 April 1948 Standard Publications

    A wonderful Schomburg South Seas island GGA cover! Also some great good girl art inside as an added bonus.

    Water damage. Staples rusted through to center. Musty smell. Both are popped. Rippled with back cover showing some light stains as well. Colors are very bright and presents pretty well considering. No pieces missing. Nice, flexible interior paper.

    WAS $30.00   NOW $25.00

  4. Wonder Woman #23 May 1947 DC Pubs

    Nice, early issue with a story from Wonder Woman's childhood. Book has a slight spine roll. It is a little dirty and has had some light water damage. A bit of a musty smell. Worst problem is the piece out of the front cover as seen in photo. All pages are neatly torn all the way through the book about 3-1/2" down from top in this area. They are still attached pretty well and can be read carefully. This can be seen pretty well in the back cover photo.

    $40.00

  11. SOLD! (quick!)

    OK kids, back with another load from my junk pile. First one up today...

    Authentic Police Cases #7 April 1950 St. John Pubs.

    This one sports a great Matt Baker GGA cover. The "love" books get all the love it seems. Baker's other stuff is just as good in most cases for way less cost. This one also contains a rather grusome and graphic hanging scene. Just what you wanted your kids plucking down their dimes for in 1950... I got this one from Ricksneatstuff a while back but recently upgraded it.

    A nice, well presenting complete copy. Has some spine roll and tiny tears and a small 1/2" split at bottom. Has some old pencil marking in the letter "C" in title. Staples are starting to pull but cover is still well bound to book. Centerfold well attached. Interior paper is white to off white.

    $45.00

  12. The Berk auction was a freak of nature. People didn't seem to care what they paid and for what. Normally books restored like this would go for fractions of what they did. It was because they were Jon's books and everybody wanted them. I think without the name attached, they would have still met some resistance. Purple, Grey, I've been conditioned to stay away and I did. Now would I buy certian books like that for the "right price" heck yes but not multiples...
