Sadly it is peeling, especially on spine It had globe end written on the tag, wasnt sure what that meant till i opened it.

My late phone somehow found it's way into my swimming pool. My new phone has a blistering 50mp camera, so now I can take clearer photos while still showing I don't know how lighting works. I remember buying a 5mp camera years ago for more than this phone cost, starting to feel old Some pick ups from today.

This is bait for the 10 pre-screen 😆

Yah kinda blows my mind that in 92 when I started buying spiderman, I was closer to Spiderman 1 than a kid starting out today is to spiderman 375

Personally, I prefer books with the red circle logo, and older the better. Reminds me of these fun archie horror books

Saw this on reddit, dont think I've seen it here. 1937 August.

An old comic shop dealer told me a while ago he used to have a customer who solely collected old male bandage covers. Found that an interesting niche.

Just noticed how far off this cover is. The tear was there before grading. Picture from HA The back cover being twisted to the left seems to be causing the top of the back cover to split now. I think at this point I need to break it out to prevent the back cover from detaching.

At first I thought hand laminated due to how thick it is, but comparing it to other similar avons maybe not. It was a decent price so I'm not too bothered either way. Just glad to have it, one of my favorite covers.

In decent shape but I think someone laminated the cover 😆

Wasn't aware of this pedi6. Up on HA.

Roger strongly disagrees 😆

Looks like they updated the info on this label. The all story they used in their pulp grading preview video just said Clinton Pettee, now they added classic cover. But no mention of the lion 😕

I believe it was factory trimmed. Just looked at multiple listings on HA and all appear to be trimmed without it being noted, and I can't find any with an overhang. Looking on ebay, I see MCS listing a few as trimmed, but they also have a fine copy without the notation and to my eyes no overhang. Skimming through multiple listings I don't see an overhang, even on a cgc 7.0 copy.

Looks like the cabaret stories is back on ebay, looks like it was an incomplete copy

Couple low grade pick ups.

Yah I took a shot at it but didn't come close. I did snag this bullet-ridden savage as a runner up prize 😆

$860. Decent result for a scarce book. This one was a bit of a surprise at $520. Very clean copy.

Is it possible that issue still had the overhang? I tried finding some examples online and some seem to.

I've always found fascinating what people collected in previous generations, to see and compare what was popular and what still is, using value as an indicator for demand. If anyone else finds this interesting, here is a list of some of the most valuable paperbacks in a 1980 paperback price guide by Kevin Hancer. Here is a sampling of books that were listed at $40 or more in top condition.

Got this in today
