Wish I had larger scans of all the books, but here's my #1 pick...

I love this cover! Gator had one at HeroesCon a couple of years ago that I almost bought, and still regret not grabbing...

yeah but mine was nothing like the mile high copy...though, it was cool none the less and rarely seen hm

Many have come and gone, but here's the top ten core books. As you can see, its a bit Centaur heavy. Also cheated with one lone pulp... I think I need to do a pulp top ten!

 

Some really great books in this thread guys! :applause:

Posts like this make it easy to understand the appeal of those Centaurs. Every one is a beauty.

 

Awesome stuff! The 10 best pulp covers would be something to see! How about it?

 

I'll work on that... will be tough to narrow it down! But it will be Frank R. Paul heavy, you can be sure of that.

For the pulps, I decided to forego all my Red Circles and misc pulp titles, and focus on my fav Paul-covered bedsheets... they are easily the top of the heap in my pulp collection.

 

Would be tough to really narrow it down... I could go with top ten alien covers, or space ship covers, but here are the ones that really stand out to me today...

Lots of great sets! This one caught my eye - Centaurs! Church KDF #20! :cloud9:

 

Wolverton Target #7 would be in my top ten too (if I had a copy, that is).

The copy of the FP 35 in my photo is a former "Gator" copy... I think that AMAN 22 might have passed through his hands as well (cosmic aeroplane copy) ...

:applause: Great choices on the Paul cvrs! Is that a HG Wells War of the Worlds cvrs on top left?

 

I'm not sure I could narrow it down to top 10 - great job. Would love to see the top 10 Red Circle cvrs.

Correct on the War of the Worlds cover... probably one of his most brilliant covers.

 

I could do a ten Red Circle covers... will need some time for that one. (thumbs u

as noted, "best" can mean a buncha things. so, for me, i'm going to go with "if i lose interest and start piecemeal selling, these will be among the last 10 i have."

in no particular order--i just hit "view all" on the 'bucket and am going thru 'em.
