So many of these old pulps have great covers so I decided to start picking up a few.

See if you can guess the type of cover on which I am concentrating (thumbs u

I just received this flyer.

Is anyone going to this pulp-con?

Is it any good?

Seems to be about 1/2 way between NYC and Philly.

The only thing that would make that cover better is if she looked like my ex wife.

I got this insane Triple Tortured lady cover in today. August 1938

 

Do you think you got a discount because of the missing corner? Or was demand for this cover so high that it really did not matter that the corner was missing?

And the finale of the night....

 

CONAN!!!!

 

That must be Conan O'Brien in the truck

 

fake Revolver that really holds cigarettes

Perfect for high school kids ....... you can pull out a gun when a friend asks you for a smoke

 

That hadda hurt

He probably figured it was worth it to get a peek at her 1950s boobs

 

 

Why the indecision?

 

Price?

 

Average condition?

 

I know next to nothing about Detective or Science Fiction pulps so I was out of my element.

I think as long as they were in above average condition, you can't go wrong on a bulk purchase.

 

It actually took several trips to seal the deal. Mostly indecision on my part. If you can believe that.

Why the indecision?

Price?

Average condition?

Stephen, let me be the first say that those are WICKED!!

 

Amazing collection you got going there. Did most of those come from the Bronzilla collection?

 

If those were 1930's comics instead of pulps they would easily command $1000+ each for the lowest grade copy

The "classic covers" would be getting $5000+ each

And the highest graded copies of classic covers would be selling for $50,000

As a pulp collector, I really like the #1 issues, or one shots... nice to have the first representative issue of a run, without buying the whole farm!

 

Heres a nice one shot... one of the rare "villain" pulps... the bad guy actually wears this goofy octopus costume on the interior too.

 

 

So should this qualify as the real first appearance of Doc Ock?

Ot at least a "prototype" issue for Doc Ock?

Ouch !! Romantic indeed (Scan from eBay - not my book) -

How is a punch to the girl's face romantic?

Romance must have been different back in the Old West.

 

 

Note to self, stipulate in will, skull must be cleaned and bleached and rubbed against skantly clad hot chick for eternity.

Kudos to dekeuk for a gorgeous Batman #237 9.4. Thanks again Robert (thumbs u

much as I hate to part with any Adams Batman slab, I am glad it went to a good home (thumbs u

Plus it is in your signature line already so I can still see it

Huge kudos for Dekeuk for allowing me time to repurchase a major GA grail that ran me a few $K+. One of the easiest people to deal with on these boards and I have had many. Payment was made via money orders, thanks again. (thumbs u

Hey SILVER SURFER, glad your book is back where it belongs. Thanks for my biggest dollar sale EVER on the boards.

 

 

I would suggest that if any of you happen to be stuck with the books you might consider the following.

 

Ship them off to soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan. I do that with many of the numerous reader books I have around and I know they enjoy them and trade them amongst themselves.

 

Donate them to a local charity, childrens hospital, DHS shelter or homeless shelter.

 

Line a birdcage for 50 years

 

Somehow turn a bad experience into good karma.

Fixed that for ya (thumbs u

What I have done before it offered books for sale at a specific price on the board and then added

"Trade offers considered"

And that has led to 4 trades for me

Nobody has complained when I presented it that way.

If all you want to do it trade then I suggest offering your book for sale, maybe at a bit more than FMV and then adding that you are also very open to trades.

I think this would not be violating any rules if you do it that way.

last kudos go to Steve Borock for the trade we made

I love my new books

good luck with the new job
