kudos to Dale Roberts for all the books I bought in his holiday sales thread

Yeah, but it will sell for $100,000 when the new owner presses it to a 10.0

Hey Comicwiz,

Why do you continue to post links to your auctions in this forum?

I sent you a message days ago the last time you did this and explained the rules to you, and even gave you a link to the proper forum to post auction listings.

Worst of all, you are using code which blocks anyone else from posting a response to your posts in the thread and you admitted to me that you knew it was blocking others from posting responses.

I am not a MOD, but I am sure they are watching you now that you have pulled this stunt twice now.

Brundage's cover for the September 1932 Weird Tales was her first for that title, but her very first published cover was for Oriental Stories.

 

Spring 1932

 

They should have let her do some comic book covers.

I would have liked to see her versions of Wonder Woman and Sheena.

I've found 3M Scotch Packaging Tape to be the best.

 

But too expensive...

DOLLAR STORE tape is best

Lots of tape, cheap, and I only had one roll out of hundreds purchased that kept splitting on me so much I could not user it. So I lost my dollar on that roll.

 

........ but I’ve seen it mentioned on here before about a tutorial for packing books for shipping, so I’ve taken it upon myself to put one together.

 

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't you state the following in your last sales thread?

To wrap it all off a slab I sold to a boardie through eBay arrived damaged, and although he'd bought insurance with the shipping I left the receipt in my jeans pocket and washed it, so the refund is on me.

What happened?

Didn't follow your packing instructions?

me too! The guy ships terribly though. The pulp was damaged in the mail. Even after I asked for it to be mailed between sheets of cardboard & offered to pay more, it was still just mailed in an envelope.

I just filed a paypal dispute for $6 on someone for the exact same thing. He sold me some MINT comics from around 1980 and I specifically asked for cardboard because he said they were MINT. So he ships them in a stiff envelope only and they show up with spine stress. I ask to return them and he refuses.

Scrooge, that Love Story may be the most lame Pulp I have ever seen...

 

Just aweful, it pains me that it exists and it pains me more to know that you have it in your collection.

 

 

I've got a few extra copies of this one

why would ANY of them be rare?

surely Whitman published thousands of copies of each issue, otherwise why bother acquiring the publishing rights?

yes, many got thrown out and beaten up by small children, but surely they can't be so rare as to have less than 100 copies left in existance?

Last one for tonight

No girl on this cover but the robot on this 1916 mag is just so cool

Yes, I said 1916 ........... which is just amazing because robots would not even exist for decades after this mag was published

The accuracy of the scientific "predictions" of these artists is just amazing sometimes

she looks kinda scared

another really old one ...........

an old one from 1925 ...........

Tame but still interesting for a western cover

Her top seems to be a bit too small for her ..........

Awesome start to pulp collection Dekeuk!

Here are a few more, I really like this Jungle Girl cover too:

Warner Brothers probably wishes DC had not published this issue:

 

I agree with Jeff, Dekeuk! You have a keen eye for pulp beauty

I use the following highly scientific formula

Hot Chick On The Cover =

Awesome start to pulp collection Dekeuk!

Thanks

I have more, but I have not photographed them yet.

As with most things I collect, I tend to buy and sell them. The ones I end up selling end up subsidizing the ones I keep in the collection. That way my net cash outlay is fairly neutral.

I am also open to trades, but I usually only bother trading when the trade is working in my favor.

 

 

I think it was in one of Stephen Ambrose's books on the war that he talked about the fact that there was a deep seated racial hatred towards the Japanese that didn't exist to the same extent with the Germans.

 

 

Given America's attitude towards black people in 1941 (segregation, color barrier in sports, KKK, menial jobs, Black Sambo type advertising, etc.) it is not too hard to understand how Japanese people could be portrayed as less than human in print.

I really love this cover ...............

 

 

Such a cool cover! So your just starting on pulps? You sure went at it gun-ho!

Pulps are a bargain compared to comics from the same era.

Put that cover of a naked girl in a tube with a robot on a 1950's cover in that condition and it would sell for thousands
