1st Typhoid Mary in bulk by the look - a real sleeper book, destined for a big bump. Awesome score!

 

Oh sorry, I just wanted to show the best ones...Only 2 in the lot...Rest are regular DD's from around that era and a bit earlier. Agree though, I think TM is a sleeper of a book. Just wait till she shows up in the series...Love the cover too.

Unfortunately it has a spine split from the bottom to right above the bottom staple. As is, it's still a $200 book.

Unfortunately, the flea vender already picked it out of the other modern drek from a house sale a few weeks ago. He was aware he had something special. Nevertheless, we were able to come to a price that gave him a tidy profit while allowing some room on the back end once it has been slabbed, maybe quite a bit of room depending on how high it grades out. And it is a sweet copy indeed!

 

That's what I meant by win/win pricing, two winners not just one.

I know you told me about those flea market things. After getting up every day of the week at 4am I simply cannot bring myself to get up early on weekends. Very happy for you and congrats on the pickup.

Sleep is very underrated. Come home and take a nap in the afternoon if you have to. Someday we will all get "The Big Sleep" as Mickey Spilane wrote it...

Spillane!?!

 

That's Chandler, pal! The greatest detective fiction writer of all time!

[anstettoman]

did we ever hear what was in the dusty long boxes that were worth the wait (or so were told) one of my favorite things to do is live vicariously thru these posts about finds in the wild...

[makeminemarvel]

I too am waiting for the dusty boxes.....

 

In the meantime, here's a Craiglist ad with some cool silver / bronze stuff!

$3 / book. Could work out. Especially since the ad states that there are Hawk & Dove and Blackhawk sets.

I wonder what the condition of the Tomb 10 is?

Yes, Chandler, Raymond Chandler and I agree with your assesment. I guess I shouldn't post when I've been drinking...

If you were drinking whiskey, I think Chandler (and Philip Marlowe) would be okay with it.

[Robot Man]

Yep, Jack. I'm sure he would understand.
