  1. My favorite from the run, but I grew up watching bewitched 😆 With pulps I don't think you're going to find a number of covers considered classic over a long period of time, my pulp fanzines from the 60s and 70s focus on the stories and authors, and rarely mention the art. By the 90s I have some pulp art books, but what they considered sought after covers has in some cases shifted over time. One mentions this as the most sought after WT cover Which judging by recent sales is no longer the case. I could be wrong but I believe in the 90s the batwoman cover hadn't really broken out yet and was about as sought after as other brundage books. I think moving forward we will see more solidification in what is considered a classic cover, but collectors can be fickle so that could still be a shifting target. Barring everything else, I'd give a lot of weight to people more knowledgeable in the hobby like detective and Darwin to what books collectors are chasing based on cover, but also the old rule of thumb stands. Books I own are classic covers, and books I still need are not and should be avoided by everyone until I get a copy
  2. I feel guilty at passing on the people eating kangaroo cover Have to go back, he's going to dig up some old pulps for me, so it might end up with me at some point 😆
  3. You guys corrupted me with all the pretty pictures, just found these at a bookstore 😠
  4. I'm looking to trade a few duplicates for books in the same runs in similar low grade I don't yet have. Open to trades in other similar runs. General Rules No members on the HOS or Probation List may participate. I reserve the right to refuse to trade to anyone for any reason. Shipping We both pay for our own shipping costs. I'm looking to trade these 3 low grade books for a similar book in the same runs (open to horror stories for the terror tales) that I don't have yet. Books are for trade only, not interested in selling. November Terror Tales $75 Book has significant damage to cover and first several pages. Tape on cover. Water stains. Low grade. Operator 5 Sept-Oct $50. Poorly trimmed cover. Tears to covers, cover slightly detached. The Spider December $100 Was listed as 2.5 on MCS. Their description "Paper: Off white Front cover detached 5%. Back cover detached 15%. Water damage: Extensive. Staple rust: Slight." If unhappy with the book upon arrival for any reason im happy to return the swap.
  5. Facebook is rolling out an ai chat both, so I thought I'd put it to the test. I almost got into a heated debate with it's answer 😆
  6. $Blonde superman prototype?$ Funnily enough I got in a rough spicy detective with a superman ad on the back. Never knew DC went blue.
  7. I was just wondering if this cover was reused on a FH comic! 😆 My favorite is the girl with the bow that was flipped for a Jungle cover.
  8. I might be exaggerating a bit lol, but there is a mormon temple less than 3 miles from my house 😇 I do live in a nice older neighborhood though. Also got this pair in, love the annual but its as big as those old marvel bicentennial comics!
  9. And of course my first tape tear in a while, I remove the tape before removing the books to rebag but somehow a piece found its way to the cover 😢
  10. Looks like the cover was used twice in this run, which really confused me to whether I had this issue or not 😄
  11. Woken up this morning to a lady from down the street with an open box of some new pulps, and a weird look on her face. The only book whos cover was visible was a film fun annual, but in this area thats basically hardcore porn. Mailman missed my house by a quarter of a mile 😆
  12. I would have taken a shot at that 31 weird tales, I need to remember to check auctions on these other sites 😅
  13. I just got in a copy of this a week ago in much rougher shape 😆
  14. Yah when I saw the price I went to double check the bound volumes on AH, looks like they only go up to 1927 😆
  15. Saw this on fb https://www.facebook.com/share/p/FsDzgrxYc4BXHJAz/?mibextid=xfxF2i
  16. I almost bought one today on a whatnot pulp auction 😆
  17. Indeed, the strange tales pair went for around 1.4k in 4.5, and I could be wrong but i think they're slightly more desirable books? Those were the 2 I was gunning for but not at that price. Ended up picking up the low grade vampire cover off ebay for 115 as a consolation prize. I wonder if page quality makes a big difference. Don't graded comic collectors get pick6 about page color?
  18. Also the strange stories appears to be the same copy, so the flipper appears to have taken a small bath.
