Wouldn’t that be redundant?

Welcome to the boards. Pulp Magazines is probably the wrong forum. There’s an Ask CGC sub-forum.

I have to say, and this makes no sense at all, but every time a boardie changes their avatar my first thought is, “Now how am I ever going to recognize them at a convention?”

Mike answers smoke signals too.

No, no…most companies serf ices. Usually you have to ask if you don’t want ice, in fact.

I got the title wrong, but you did make me think of it, as it’s similar. I forgot about the mag!

I forgot about Unknown Worlds! Yes, that title did a few adaptations… Killdozer, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and I can’t think of the book’s title, but a sci-fi novel about a big cat with tentacles on its back loose on a space station. I can see the cover.

Yes, I just threw them in because we seemed to get rolling on Marvel licensed properties from that general era. There did seem to be a flourish of them either side of 1977. Also, I remember Human Fly being (Marvel-admittedly) about a real stuntman. I wonder if there was a license/royalties involved. I would think so but I don’t recall the details offhand.

Man From Atlantis was also in that late 70’s timeframe. Did we mention Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek?

OK, thread is updated -- I'll close in the a.m. and get PM's to takers over morning coffee. Take 20% off anything left in the thread until then (and a free Pope John Paul II or Mother Theresa while supplies last). Joe had about a half a short box of complimentary copies of these two books that he drew, and I got a handful with the Charlton Romance personal archive, so I am passing them along as freebies here. They are not signed but they are beautiful comp copies Joe had received. I have six Mother Theresa and four Pope John Paul II — your choice, one to each purchaser in the thread, if you like, while supplies last.

again, Teen-Age Confidential Confessions #2! Thank you again sir!

Yessiree, Bob there is, Jonathan! -- Grand Slam 20% off with Love Diary #7, Just Married #12, Brides in Love #31, and Teen Confessions #3, plus a Life of John Paul II freebie! Thank you!

Thank you to all takers thus far! I'll close this up in the a.m. and get your PM's out then, but there's lots of good books left so I'm going to do 20% off any remaining books between now and close. I made a promise to get these disseminated into collectors' hands, and I'd like to get them spread around, so I'll offer this discount on remaining books.

Good luck to you both!

@Comic Blessing is a bulk buyer of trades and is awesome to deal with.

Sweetheart Diary #54 goes to Ryan.! Thanks again!

chicken dinnah! Secrets of Young Brides #22 and Romantic Story #55 go to Azkaban! And thank you for acknowledging the pricing - part of obtaining these was agreeing to keep just a few and get the rest into collectors' hands, so I have tried to price competitively to the marketplace, setting aside sigs/provenance. (Of course, with mid-grade and up, I'm kinda extrapolating as there's very little in the marketplace. So many Charltons rolled off the presses in VG that I think a solid copy is a production error! )

Teen Confessions #5! Thank you again Adam!

Just my . Since it’s odd, and given your stated goals, I would think you would benefit most from the biggest possible pool and as little as possible in it.

Thread's updated .... lotta good books left, jus' sayin' Seriously, I do want to get these into the hands of collectors to whom they mean something, as I have my keepers set aside. Joe was the nicest guy ever, would sign for anyone, but he mostly did northeast shows. I don't know how common/uncommon his sig is, but these are on his personal copies.

Triple Crown Teen-Age Love 19 & 24 and Teen Confessions #17 all go to Comics-n-ERB! Thank you again!

Leave the box, sell it raw (incur no additional costs), disclose the flaw (it is what it is) and ask what you think is fair based on what it is. Some buyers will negotiate based on the oddity, but its an early, affordable ASM, which puts it in the reach of the vast majority of ASM chasers, many of whom want affordable copies of books that are too expensive for them in higher grades. You'll have a market for it. After a couple discussions with serious potential buyers, you'll have price discovery.

Secrets of Young Brides #27 goes to Azkaban! Thank you again!
