GACollectibles Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Picked up this pleasant surprise at my LCS today... did you have to pay much for that beater classic? Cost me $30, fair enough I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*paull* Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 That's a great deal. My guess is that book would sell for about $150 on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Mail day - Mystery Tales # 1 - Over the last 2 weeks, I bought the Mystic, Strange Tales and Mystery Tales I needed for the collection, narrowing down my Horror needs to just 4 books: Black Magic # 9 (not too hard to find), Dark Mysteries # 5 (relatively easy as well), This Magazine is Haunted! # 3 (impossible to find) and Venus # 18 (out there rarely and expensive) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 You're certainly making great progress! And these will be painful: This Magazine is Haunted! # 3 (impossible to find) and Venus # 18 (out there rarely and expensive) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Pontoon Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Nice pickup. I was watching that one. Seems like there's been a spate of good books and buys lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Since someone over the in the SA Forum asked about Matt Fox, I thought it was about time to post this issue, which boasts the only combination of Matt Fox artwork on the cover and the interior. The Fox story is an adaptation of "The Hand of Glory" by Poe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*paull* Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 I'll repost this here, since not everyone reads all the threads... I have been looking for a copy of this book pretty much all year and have only been able to find a couple of lower grade copies (outside of the stellar Crippen copy in 9.0 which sold for $1300). I was content to find a beater of this book with a decent cover, but really lucked out today on this copy. It does have a flaw, however.... a one-inch by half-inch coupon cut out in the middle of the book. This is my kind of flaw, especially when it drops the price significantly as in this case. In 2003, Heritage sold a 7.0 for $373. I paid about half that price for this copy, and to my eyes, this book is about a 7.0 if not for the missing coupon. I'll take books like that all day long. Detective #168 with missing coupon, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordThanos1969 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 This is a great thread I recently found! In the spirit of sharing, I'd like to show two of my recent pre-code purchases as well as a favorite I figured I'd share after someone mentioned it a few posts ago: D Crippen copy: D Crippen copy: Old favorite: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*paull* Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 That Venus cover is great! Other books are terrific too... I've been thinking of looking for an Amazing Mysteries #33 to go with the #32 I just bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
