holy smokes. I took a chance on this on ebay. The seller was someone I always had good transactions with in the past, so I went for it even though it was a terrible picture. I sent in a best offer, because it was way more than I should have been spending, but I just felt I should grab this one. We talked it over & I ended up with it.

 

If not for the tape stains (Tape is no longer there), this would probably be one of the nicest copies out there. The spine is insane, it is snow white, as is the back cover. I almost fell over when I pulled this out of the Shipping envelope!

 

For me this was my grail pulp, my favorite pulp cover ever, and the whole reason I started collecting pulps (Dwight's image of the original really affected me!) I didn't expect to have one anytime soon, especially not one that presents so well! Woo Hoo!

Thanks guys! I really am on :cloud9:. As far as inspirational images go, it's hard for me to think of one that has affected me more so. For me it's always about the cover art being as unmarred as possible, so the old tape marks don't really bug me too much. The seller still has some amazing pulps I wish I could afford as well!
