  1. The young 'ins don't know what it was like to walk uphill in the snow to the convention to buy books. The digital marketplace is easier to navigate, but a lot less fun.
  2. I never saw them on any of my visits. He had enough difficulty finding wall space for all of his original art.
  3. The Larsons offered in the sale were issues with low census counts and from currently sought after publishers. I was surprised by the results, but not overly so.
  4. Thanks for the great pictorial of your adventure at the show!
  5. Any Guide to the Pulp market is never going to be perfect, much less "complete". It has to cover too many rarities across too many decades when things were far less documented than they are today. You did a world of service, and anyone who can't appreciate that should be ignored.
  6. There are distribution dates on some, but they are neither particularly distinctive nor extensively employed among the copies.
  7. You're welcome. There are more articles, including complaints that the Overstreet Guide is pushing up prices, but to find them I'd have to go back through my collection of RBCCs. I was surprised at how early on this concern was raised.
  8. I have RBCC issues from the 70s. There is more than one article lamenting the inability to collect like they used to.
  9. The content of these comics were all reprints of the syndicated Spirit stories that were the first eight pages of each Sunday insert section. https://www.comics.org/series/345/covers/ They included some of the finest stories produced in the GA. Luckily, for us they are available in reprints.
