I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours! 23 23

I wish Adventure House had offered a DVD for sale that had full size scans of all the pulps that were being auctioned.

 

Oh, that would be cool. Did you get the color book at least?

 

I did, but think of how much better it would have been to be able to see full size scans of all those pulps.

 

I don't know why John didn't go that route instead of trying to sell a $65 catalog. I assume the cost of burning the DVDs would have been significantly less than publishing a 526 page book and I think it would have encouraged collectors to make higher bids if they could have seen large scans that showed off how gorgeous everything, apparently, is.

 

I agree, not sure why he did not go that route either. Apparently all the sets that did not meet the reserve have been sold for the full reserve price to the highest bidders (or so I am told).

Not quite true, I turned down the offer of meeting reserve on 6 lots. (not big one's mind you).

[detective35]

I was referring to the four large sets that I previously referred to in my previous posts (Adventure, Doc Savage, Amazing Stories, Weird Tales).

Can someone please confirm that H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds story is only a two-parter (Amazing Stories 2/5 [August, 1927] and Amazing Stories 2/6 [september, 1927])?

 

I picked up an AS 2/5 last week, so am now on the hunt for AS 2/6 - I presume it is going to be a tough issue because of the Lovecraft "Color" story...

That is correct.

[sacentaur]

Thnx BZ - now I just need to locate a copy of AS 2/6!

Get in line.

Dwight sold a beauty copy of that issue months ago ... it was a stunner, and a good price too...

[detective35]

Yes,

 

I had a dead on NM- copy which I had offered to Steve. I had a about a dozen Amazings that looked they came right off the newsstand (as nice as any of Frank's), but I kept only one, which I will never sell.

 

The October 1928 Amazing Stories which is one of my favorite pulp covers of all time (Classic Lion vs. Robot cvr.). It is a strict NM/M condition.

 

Some asked me if I would consider a trade on it, and I replied that the only way that I might even consider a trade, is if I was offered an NM copy of "The Creeping Death" (I have 4 copies, but none that nice).

You gotta love those reds and yellows, provided they don't blind you.

Unglaublich!

I thought you might say that. I'll certainly keep you in mind if I decide to offer it. (thumbs u

Those are great copies of Amazing Stories, Dwight!

 

I didn't have the 2/5 at the time, otherwise I would have jumped on the 2/6. I'm still learning the ropes on Pulps, and it's an exciting journey - right now, I'll take *any* non-brittle copy of 2/6.

 

We have the Annual Paperback and Pulp Show coming up here in Los Angeles on March 25th, so maybe I'll have some luck.

There's a seller on ebay, Matthew42383 (Matthew King), who has almost 300 Weird Tale pulp listings, going back to 1926. For the non-'Buy it Now' items, there's not a single bid made on any of them.

 

Sadly, they look like real beaters and he states in the description text that he won't grade them.

 

He doesn't give the paper quality of the pulps.

 

He provides a single, often poor, picture for each item.

 

He has them listed in the wrong place (Golden Age Comics Horror/Sci-Fi, not Pulp/Magazines).

 

Some books have duplicate listings.

 

And he doesn't accept returns for these "fragile" pulps.

 

Everything here screams 'supreme ebay knucklehead' to me, but maybe someone else will find something of value...

[Theagenes]

Yeah, he started listing them a few weeks ago. At first I got all excited, then as I started actually clicking on the listings at looking at them, well... not so much. Low grade and overpriced. but he does have some early issues.

The three latest additions to the REH pulp collection.

In seven years of collecting REH pulps, I had never seen any of these listed, so the three of them in superb condition, nice paper and all, in one fell swoop... I took the plunge immediately.
