fifties Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I've noticed the crime books don't seem to hold value like the horror. I believe it's more like that the crime genre generally trades at lower prices to begin with, than horror. That said, there are certain torture and murder covers that one would have to pay through the nose for (FAC 20, CDNP 24, 33, Underworld Crime 7), not unlike the PCH icons.

N e r V Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Well I just dipped my toes on these two off a boardie. I bought issue #3 first on impulse because I really liked the cover. There are a few more in the run I plan on adding over time. Not a big crime fan but some of those covers....

I know of one on the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N e r V Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Yeah, 4 looks great. I've passed several times on #10 so I kind of regret that now. No hurry there's several good ones actually in the run besides those. Not bad for a company who would later be king of the condoms.

I missed the 8.5 copy of 4 by $5 about 10 years ago. This is the only one I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to get him to sell, but no go (and I don't blame him at all). 15 is a fairly desirable issue as well, classic acid in the face cover, but I think that one is more easily found than 4. My low grade copy will have to suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to pry a book out of his hands recently and threw everything but the kitchen sink at him and he still couldn't let it go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifties Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Took me FOREVER to upgrade my copy of this issue, insufferable cheapskate that I am, but I outlived the search; And these guys could definitely out-gore many others of the genre; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
