These two were in the same box as the Unseen 13. I hadn't ever seen the covers before and am really pleased at the color and brightness of the inks.

That's how they come - but they are really scarce and IMHO undervalued.

 

ME books are pretty good but don't get much love.

 

One day everything that deserves it will.

I'm pumped up about three books that I bought recently. Sorry for the lame pictures.... I don't have a scanner. These aren't super high-grade like many of the museum pieces that I've seen here recently on the boards, but for what they are, Farrell pre-code horror, the condition is stellar. They all belonged to a single collector who spent many, many years putting togeter an Ajax/Farrell collection. One reason I am very excited to have these books is that they are in very similar condition with vibrant colors and good page quality. Each has a cover crease, but not much in the way of edge tears, chipping or chunks. It's very difficult to put together a nice run, and unless you're a multi-millionaire, you have to go for books that are less than NM to do so. And that means finding books with similar defects and appeal. The collector of these books did an admirable job.

 

The first book is Haunted Thrills #5 with what I consider to be a classic skull cover. I love this one...

Sweet!! Recently I've been taking chances on raw books again via eBay. I'm a pretty seasoned grader and have been lucky lately. There are still some bargains to be had on the I slabbed market online because folks just don't want to put a lot of money into them I find. I can tell from this pic though that this is at least a fn/vf. Again, sweet!
