I have one pulp and it's a skull cover. Also my favorite Weird Tales.

Skeleton pulps are all the rage right now…

Another recent pick up:
Chamber of Chills 18, wish I had a 19!
 

Found them. Not necessarily displayed in strict issue number order but there they are -

A couple Secret Hearts. 40 and 42. About Gd/Vg to VG-. $35 shipped for the pair.

Ancient haberdashery. 
 

I'm not real crazy about some of the aspects, but I love the eye and the spiraling blue and yellow "classic"

Mine has the "Classic Cover" notation.

It's a classic cover whether the box says so or not
I daresay I might pick the 6.5 copy going aesthetics over value -  If I could afford any copy at all
 

Mine doesn't either, and yours is a 6.5 and mine... isn't - that bums me out!    

 

Me too  And I've been thumbing through this thread page by page from page 1. Great stuff. 
Edit: I notice yours says Classic Cover and mine does not. That totally bums me out

I mean as long as the resto falls within the guidelines according to CGC of what is deemed slight, then I guess so. I'd have to imagine the resto itself is maybe very small dots. So even though it takes up the full right and left side of the cover, it's still a very small overall amount in total. I'm just guessing of course though, no way to know without getting a good look at the book like CGC has.

15 to 18k for a blue 3.5 , sure that would be expected these days. "Upon closer inspection" here are the notes:
Grader Notes
chip out right bottom of front cover
readers crease
tear left bottom of front cover
large crease right top of front cover breaks color
small amount of color touch on full right & full left front cover
small amount of glue on bottom spine
So they are saying the entire left and right sides of the book have color touch? If so it seems like a large area to call it slight resto. And looking at the book it looks to me that most of the visible wear is on the left and right edges of the book , other than the corner chips. . A truly baffling mystery.

My thinking also

No I don't think $15,600 is high for a blue 3.5. A 4.5 recently sold for $20,400 and late last year a 2.0 sold for $12,600. I think an argument can be made this did sell a bit higher than one would expect, but considering the level of resto to the amount on the 4.5 that sold for $4,560, it's not a remotely close comparison. This 3.5 was somewhat close to an unrestored copy, the 4.5 may as well have been a .5 or 1.0 once unrestored. But I agree this sold solidly still.

Just back from CGC and didn't sell in my sales thread, so back in the box.

That's good to hear. And now that cgc is grading pulps a lot both graded and ungraded are being offered all over. The fun never ends even after 50 years. 

Classic cover indeed.

If you want it bad enough your going to pay lots
