Really nice!

Hmm. I've got shadowed books that got dinged harder than that. TBF, if the preliminary notes hadn't mentioned the shadow, I would have gone higher, but still wouldn't have guessed 9.6. Also TBF, grading high grade comics in scans is hard. I feel like I'm trying to find the hidden defects Ah, fair enough. It's been a while TBH but I do remember some GA books with heavy dust shadows getting into the 9s.

CGC graded Pulps - my first experience and results.
Point Five replied to Hibou's topic in Pulp Magazines
Wow, beautiful cover and copy. How thick is the slab exactly? -
Right? I can't even afford the green slime!

Kaanga #12 is great, but #15 is my favorite of the run. Incredible Whitman bondage cover, and those jade greens really pop!

I'm at a funny place with pulp collecting and grading, and would love to hear where you guys come out on this. I dove into pulps heavily years ago (2015-2016 or thereabouts), bought and sold lots of them and more or less moved on and went back to comics. In recent months I've slowly gotten pulled back in. It's been great fun exploring new-to-me covers, and it will be a major but potentially fun challenge to try to land some of the ones I want. I've bought a few and have more on the way. But at least at this stage, I don't care about slabbing pulps... at all. I'm happy with any decently presentable raw copy and I doubt I'd pay even $50 more for a graded Universal slab copy. I care minimally if they have minor restoration or maybe even fairly serious condition issues, as long as they present reasonably well and don't break the bank. And at least at this stage, I'm not worried about values or protecting my investments. (I dunno, maybe I'd feel differently if I had a major stash of them already?) It's weird, because I regularly get comics CGC graded and definitely see the value that CGC brings to the table, and slabbing has become part of my collecting process... maybe a small part compared to some folks here, but definitely not an 'insignificant' part. It almost literally feels like I'm using a different part of my brain when I collect pulps. Anyone else feel this way? How much slabbing or buying of slabbed copies do you foresee doing?

My Top 10 L.B. Cole Men's Shirts
Point Five replied to Professor K's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
This isn't a shirt per se but seems to belong here. This guy's tie got more drawing love than some entire comic covers! -
[dealer] But this makes no sense. You’re asking for… [customer] That’s right. That book on your site — I need to see a back cover scan before I’ll buy it. [dealer] You need a back cover scan? For a slabbed 9.6 book? It’s a friggin’ CGC 9.6 UNIVERSAL WITH WHITE PAGES!!! [customer] Dude. Just trust me on this.

#9 slot is somewhat disappointing, but this guy will come roaring back in the Top 10 LB Cole Men’s Footwear thread. -
What are your favorite Detective Comics covers #38 through #120
Point Five replied to Okguy's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
This is one of my very favorites. Such a bright and snappy cover, and you've got Batman cheerfully knocking a thug clean off a building. (Look out below!) -
FIGHT COMICS #27 CGC 4.0 Qualified, OW Pages. Beautiful copy of one of the standout GGA bondage WWII covers in the run, qualified for a piece missing from the first page. Strong colors and eye appeal, and very respectable reds/oranges which are often a problem for Fiction House covers. A non-qualified 4.0 sold for $922 in 2021. $395 Back:
