Y'know,  now that I  think  about it,   that folded  over   flap  on the Best of the West  10  really  DOES  fit in with the rest  of the cover's  theme,  doesn't it?

Let's get started  while  the site is up.

General wear,   small tears at upper staple  BC,   dust  shadow  upper   LH BC.  Nice  lower grade copy  with  tight  spine  and  CF,  offwhite  pages.

 

$30  takes  it

 

 

 

Take it!

Can't remember if I posted this one or not. Got it from Steve Ritter at SDCC. I love that it is one with Leroy's name on it. I think there is a back cover coupon with his name and address on it as well.

I sure hope the printers in Canada have improved since this was printed... Strawman would love this.

I think Terry owes me a little commission with all the "pimping" I've done on this collection...

All kidding aside, it is a great group of books. Some stuff  you just never see.

reposting, would really like to know the asking price on this splash

Probably an arm and a leg. Grabbed my eye at WonderCon too. Why not contact him?

Got one of those.  Don't much collect crime books, this is such a good cover.

You really need to grab yourself some crime books while you can Tony. One of these days, you will be kicking your self if you don't. Besides, a lot of them are VERY cool.

Might be stretching this one a bit. Kind of Bonnie and Clyde. But if they are all shot up, they probably crashed the car...

A cool beater MLJ I got from Terry O at WonderCon

Picked this up on a thread here last week. Came in yesterday. I definitely like it. 

 

Black Hoods are underrated in my opinion. Here is my favorite cover.

Yes, but is it Crime, Horror or Terror? My vote is crime and that is where I store mine. In the crime boxes.

You would definitely have to do some "hard pressing" to get a copy that nice again 

See what I did there?

This one doesn't need any pressing...

More PCH from the mail person today!  I think my wife is jealous of the joy that these simple treasures bring.

Better leave that mail man a good tip at the holidays!

Those rock Brian! If I had 'em, I'd have shown them. Great colors on those!

I've always hated the sigs on the cover (well most of the time). I've seen a ton of SA books with their covers having those nice big Stan Lee sigs over the image. Hate it! Only do I accept it if the cover has a nice out of the way space that works and not a over the top signature in size. I've got a lot of books signed for years at SDCC by Lee, Kirby, Steranko, Adams, etc. and always made a point of getting them to sign the first page inside or in a cover space I selected for them to sign. Yes there were a few artists that got away with going big over something I wished they hadn't but I did my part at controlling their signings. Most were fine following directions.

I'm one of those people that think signing "Stan Lee" over Spider-Man on a AF #15 actually hurts the book. I'd probably follow that rule with any kids signing their books too although as mentioned it does add to the history and kids didn't know any better they were just marking their territory. Also in the case with something like Larson it really is tied to being part of that collection and know a certain amount of joy is taken by collectors with just seeing his name on your book and owning part of that/his history. 

Well said. That is exactly how I have got books signed over the years. Didn't need a "witness", didn't have to pay, and got a lot of great memories.
