For deep-pocketed Bolles fans, there are a couple of his original paintings for sale in the April Heritage Illustration Art Auction. There are many jaw dropping pieces (and prices) from other iconic artists in the same auction: https://fineart.ha.com/itm/pin-up-and-glamour-art/enoch-bolles-american-1883-1976-flipping-through-pep-stories-magazine-cover-july-1930-oil-on-canvas-24-x-18/p/8161-43073.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515

nice grab, i just saw this and was about to do the same -
I don't think PBs as a collectible class will catch fire in the same way magazines and pulps have. I think the economics are not there yet for PBs, as there are not a lot of run collectors and completists who are continually buying up PB inventory. The rare book market (PB and HB) will always have its deep-pocket collectors just like any exclusive collectible class, but even increasing demand for rare / scare books will not create a similar trend for more common books. On the other hand, the dealer/seller margins on PBs are relatively large (as a percentage) compared to comics and other well-established collectibles, so the incentive is certainly there to promote the PB market. It would likely require a well-coordinated and sustained marketing/PR push by a large, well-financed organization(s) to create new demand (people new to collecting) and drive cross-over demand (comic, magazine, pulp, document and newsprint collectors). Here are a couple of my favorite uncommon Archer/Heade keepers:

That's a NICE copy of a tough Archer/Heade book. Thanks for sharing...
