Probably the best set of books I have read in the last ten years or so. I have made it through episode 3 and think it's great. While, not totally faithful to the books, the production value and story do the books justice! (And why isn't there a thread about the Gentlemen..another fun series by Netflix)

I paid WAY too much for my copy of I, Robot. I was enamored by it ever since Lowell put one up for sale and it was instantly gobbled up. GOD BLESS ...

I think I got a good deal on this one, dunno for sure though. It is unread but there are a few spots of shelf wear. I am never around when Lowell has a sales thread, so I use his threads for inspiration

Great looking books!

8.4 for the Fame and Fortune? What's the significance? Rarity? Author? 

On my list!

Dave Smith's website is:

www.fantasyillustrated.net

There may be some Yakima info there, or you may be able to contact him through there. He's pretty cool. GOD BLESS ...

Just looked. He already has some CGC examples of a few Yakima's. Pricey but pretty!

Especially interested in what CGC thinks is "classic". I kinda think they all are but...

That Fantastic Adventures  is on my want list. Just haven't found a copy like that. Great shape in an 8.0. I appreciate all the varying grades as they come in so I have a reference point. Great books!

One of the best shows I've seen in awhile.

AMAZING STORIES 1948 Feb. FINE (Burroughs)                                                                           45*

Ballantine33 Chilkdhood's End                             F                            65

VIEW FROM THE STARS/ Miller                                              VF                                  24

I can't even crack any of the sales threads before they get picked over or sold out! Leave it to me to abandon the comic market and fall into a hot collectibles market. 

However, are these hot or the next big thing? It could be just the 10 or so active people on the pulp portion of this sight bringing heightened awareness to each other i.e. I haven't seen that, maybe I should go look for it on eBay. When I buy a book I look at past sales on eBay etc. and often find that most of the things I am buying haven't sold in over 6 months even though there are multiple copies available. People buying in the sales threads have been the same 4-6 people as far as I can tell. Would be 7 if I didn't miss all of the threads.

I don't think that pulps etc. will be "hot" until there are more books on the registry and fairly accurate pricing data..like GPA for comics.

However, if I can get books, pulps, and digests that I think are cool for under 50 or 100 dollars count me in. Far cheaper than comics!

Can you believe his name only appears as a cover headliner a handful of times? Are his earlier works not up to par with his later work?

That rock and roll gal is awesome!

Have a few people coming to look at the collection so am just going to close for now. If deals can't be made, I will start listing in earnest.

I apologize for all the build-up, but never thought there would be interest in the whole thing all at once.

Thanks,

John

Still negotiating. Will get back with you guys tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Oh, so suddenly cow wrangling doesn't seem like such a priority I guess.

Already did cows, goats and chickens this morning
