Any Pep 22's at this last convention?

The earliest issue I saw on a dealer's table was #34, but it probably had lots of work done and as far as I know, none of us bothered to ask the price. There were two Pep 30's in the city, but I don't think both were ever in the convention center at the same time...I brought my #27 along in hopes of finding an upgrade, but no luck there.

 

I also saw Peps 38, 47, 50, 51, 55, 57 and 58. I don't think any were better than VG, and the 57 was particularly ratty - I didn't buy it for that reason, though I hadn't seen the cover before. Hopefully I won't regret that!

 

I'm currently in Mississippi, of all places. If I make it back to Denver, around the 14th, I shall start a very late WW Chicago thread to show off some of my acquisitions. "Acquisitions" sounds so much better than "loot"...

$1500

 

Ah, there we go, glad I didn't ask. :) Speaking of not asking, I think Archie #11 and up were fairly easy to find, though usually in pretty thrashed condition and not priced to move.

 

But all in all, the show was a fabulous experience. Somehow I appear not to have been photographed at all, despite hundreds of pictures being posted and me being there till they switched off the lights on Sunday afternoon. Fame continues to prove elusive.

It's funny you should ask; one of the first things I noticed, this being my first big convention, was that many dealers seemed to have either two Golden Age Detectives or Actions on their walls, presumably to make them seem a bit more serious. Even one of the Star Wars toy dealers had a little sprinkling of DC GA for some reason. Others will be better able to talk about specific issue numbers, but there seemed to be a lot of pre-#100 Actions around.

 

And yes, Win's books were absurdly glorious!

What about a Archie #1? (shrug)

Metro had a ratty copy. That was the only one I saw.

 

I saw it too but I don't remember the price?

 

$2100, if memory serves...

I managed to dodge the camera everywhere too... except maybe TheWatcher's camera.

here is the contact page from my website, which has at the bottom a great Pep 22 scan that I found on the internet ( after much searching, might I add )

The book is #1 on my wantlist right now, so fellow Boardies, when one invariably and eventually comes on the market, prepare to be bid up quite a bit :devil:

Here's a pic that includes you (stolen from Transplant's thread). Andy's the guy on the right with the brown T shirt.

Wonderful! I wonder what we were all looking at. It's holding the attention of five of us, whatever it was...

 

Now I'm off to Louisiana with my precious haul from Chicago. Any books that survive ten days in the humidity there will be shown off when I get home! :acclaim:

I was looking for early Actions and they were far and few between. After Metro there really was nothing else under issue #20 except for the #18 I picked up and maybe a #4 or #5 in low grade with resto somewhere.
