Thrilling Comics #7 CGC 1.8 OWW (1940) - Classic Schomburg cover and one of my all time favorites. 

Bought if from Al Stoltz many years ago and this has been my personal copy since.

An impossible book to find in any grade, there are only 7 universal copies on the census and 9 in total.

I kept this one because of how great it looked in a Mylar all these years. 

Asking $3500 (shipping included) - the price may be strong but good luck finding another. I have only seen maybe 3 copies ever in the many years I've wanted a copy. If it doesn't sell I have no problem with that. 

***scans to be added***
 

claim pending no big chips out of the front cover

Somebody help me out here -- is this thought to be good, well-drawn draftsmanship? People don't buy these for the cover art, do they? 

You are contributing absolutely nothing to this thread, it is clearly a thread for those who appreciate this title and it’s artist, not to mention you have no appreciation for the fact the Todd has assembled one of the most high grade collections of this title in existence. If you don’t like them, guess what, NO ONE ASKED YOU. Take your hate back to your reprints and other cheap garbage you bum.

@Kihei Comics So i'm sure you have noticed the flurry of Breezy Stories on eBay recently with Enoch Bolles covers and the aggressive bidding on them. Some of the issues were rolled out 'twice' (30's and 40's editions, but with the 40's editions having a different cover price and sometimes altered cover story blurbs (like said example, of which i have a copy of the 40's example also).

Using this book with this classic cover as an example, do you think there would be a great disparity in value in regards to 30's and 40's editions with the cover?

Oh yea I have bought a few of them! The originals I feel should be worth more of course but honestly either copy is tough enough and in solid condition if worth the money. The weird thing about my copy is even the stories are the same they would usually reuse the artwork and at least add new stories but this is essentially just a reprint from the 40's!

So cool! I have those Ghost 1 and I never realized blue ribbon copies it, the cracks on the buildings are identical.

This should grow to be a very cool Thread!

Thanks! There is a ton of them out there I am finding new ones all of the time!

The explosion of value on this book is amazing...it’s an important key that you could get in similar shape for $2,000-$3,000 even recently. 

I expect sustained steady growth in value on pulps easily even without grading the interest is exploding in this tech era where we easily can see all these beautiful covers, if grading really happens then kiss these entry prices bye bye, I have been heavily investing into pulps over the last two years because comics just got ridiculous. 

Awesome meeting everyone!!! We have to do more events like this!
