Looks like the cover is shifted up to the right. Don't they normally doctor that out on books of this caliber, or is it too risky with the staples so pushed in?

Trogdor the Burninator!

He is certainly wearing some of her lipstick. How it got there I guess is up to the imagination of the readers

Wow..... Congrats, that's impressive.

Isn't this the premise for the last starfighter?

When you say how he died are you talking about the parents? He says Tom passed away in a kamikaze attack, and I understand correctly he thinks the parents died in a traffic accident in the 70s. To be fair, after reading through it the first time it's a bit of a chore to skim and see if I'm remembering correctly. 😀

I believe he says at some point that he was shot down in the pacific, and that his parents died in a traffic accident. I enjoyed reading it, don't get me wrong, as I always get a kick out of reading about comic collecting from the old days, but he really undermines his own take with his constant sniping. Just seems really immature. I also got a kick out of him complaining about kids investing in comics today while at the same time bragging about how much he was selling these books for.

Slightly related, I read a long screed on FB yesterday about the SF pedigree not being from SF, by the guy who supposedly purchased it originally. Was interesting, but had a real chip on the shoulder feel to it. Here it is if anyone's bored.

Edit: just realized this is the bronze not copper forum. I change my entry to WW 199 or 200, but I'll leave this image up cause it's still a stunning cover lol.

An 8.5 with OW pages sold for 144k this year. I'd guess somewhere around that? https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/sub-mariner-comics-1-san-francisco-pedigree-timely-1941-cgc-vf-85-off-white-to-white-pages/a/7246-94098.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515

Are there any good articles on pulp storage? Stacking or standing, good bags and boards to use, best practices etc? Tried googling around a few times in the past and can't find any decent info.

Couple healthy VG Planet sales. Bid sniper got some, feels like I'm watching GA comic auctions

You misspelled web of spidey 18.

It's gone up. Had 2 go by on ebay in the last few years, both higher grade, and memory is fuzzy but last one sold for around 450sih?

So dumb question, and I'm not sure how I got these one mixed up. There are no Star Trek DCU variants? Cause I've wasted a lot of time looking at every start trek comic I've come across

Don't really want to say until i upgrade my copy, but I'm pretty sure it inspired a campy sitcom involving nose twitching 😄

Just a number of unrelated pulps I was watching and what they sold for. Going through my watched history, a number of books I saved I noticed were posted here by people who won them, so I didn't include those so as to not be tacky. If I accidently put a book someone here won in this list, let me know and I'll delete it.

One of my favorite pulp covers was for sale on ebay. I put it to watch, and set an alarm on my phone for the day the auction was ending. The day comes, and the alarm goes off 20 minutes before the auction ends, and I'm pretty excited, getting ready to toss a bid at it. Then something unexpected happens as I'm waiting, my nephew and sister show up, which is great. I make snacks, put on a Pluto cartoon, and hop back on ebay to find out I missed it by a minute. 1 bid, well under what I was going to toss at it. I guess don't wait till the last minute if you really want a book. Unrelated, I got this this week, another fun weird tales. Happy with the book, but I really wish pulp sellers would disclose that the cover is glued on. Not the first time this has happened. Here is the auction description Condition: Fair: 2 inches off top and bottom of spine held by tape. Light tan to tan supple pages. *edit* I'm 99% sure my copy is the image used on Wikipedia for Gaston Leroux. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaston_Leroux#Short_stories

They didn't disclose severely rusty staples on a pulp I bought. Don't trust them tbh.

Yikes...

Dipped my toe. Kept coming across this cover on a magazine, then found it was used on a book a year prior

Has this club been taking a nap? I think I'm a topic killer.

Don't think I've posted in here before...but could be wrong

I'm doubly triggered! 😡 (And I don't think a youngster should invest in comics)
