rjpb Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Fantastic books - POV! A nice selection of one-shots Looks like you picked up alot of nice mid-grade books with solid eye-appeal - how were the prices?- I keep reading reports of con prices on pre-code horror being sky-high - does SD have more realistic prices? Seeing your haul makes me really want to go to a big con in the next year! I'd never seen the Murder Inc. before - you got to love it when the white space books have great covers Fight against Crime #12 is one of the first pre-code crime books I picked up (still have the copy) - great title with many excellent covers!

PovertyRow Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Looks like you picked up alot of nice mid-grade books with solid eye-appeal - how were the prices?- You got it right, rj. That is just what I was going for. VG to Fine (some worked out even a titch higher) with overall good qualities and the more striking cover art. Prices? Well, it is why I went 100% pre-code horror and crime. The most expensive book was that Crime Must Stop. I got several from Ted at Superworld and he gave me a deal on it for $276. (OK guide readers - put the guide away for this one. It was a bit over double guide but you know what? Even some of the dealers had not seen that rascal before.) Knock off maybe 5 more books that were in the $150 - 175 range and about 8 crime books that were in the freaking $14 range and bulk of the pre-code averaged about $60 each. It helped to know the dealers and come up to them with cash and a nice stack, too. But the books I refused to pay $100-150 for at Wondercon? I was paying for similar or better at $40 - 60. Not sure WHAT the heck happened. Heck I got a surprisingly nice EC Crime Suspense Stories for $21 (I'll post that one next) with OW-W pages.

*paull* Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 Great books, POV!! I love the Crime Must Stop..... I think it's the same book that I was eyeing at the Philly con. Good thing that I had that Cap 74 that I still had to pay for, otherwise I would have bought it myself! That's some haul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was at Superworld then yeah - that was the one. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. And looking for a decent Monster Crime to accompany it adds another to my grail list!

PovertyRow Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I included a large scan of the money shot below the book. Reminds me of the ending to Cagney's 1931 PUBLIC ENEMY. Wonder if Biro was watching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
