Would love some advice. Picked up a collection today. Lots of Gold Key, Charlton Richie Rich, Casper, Little Dot, Hot Stuff, Turok, Flintstones, Disney and similar in really great shape and also some decent condition Weird Tales. While I was there though I noticed a bunch of pulp that I have seen active on the forum but have zero knowledge of, mainly the smaller more sexually oriented books. I grabbed them just because but am having a hard time pricing and finding the market to sell them. Super cool books in great shape and would love some advice. Thanks so much!

I recently paid $30 for a VF of The Wild And The Wicked. I was glad to get it. They will range from 10 -30 for the pedestrian stuff and up to a few hundred or so for the "ringers" ... above average condition, of course. A dealer friend recently told me there was a lot of "pent up fury" in the smut market and many expect prices to surge, especially the better painted covers. I would salt a few away if I were you, after recouping my investment. GOD BLESS ...

Here's a couple of especially promiscuous little goodies, not really dying to sell these, I'd probably want more than they're worth ...

I like your style, pal!  In honor of your recovery, I'd like to inspire you with this piece of rarely seen eye candy.  Stay strong, James!

Where's the "eyes popping out of socket" emoji when you need one? GOD BLESS ...

...this is one of my very favorite PB's I have, and not smut either. Smut is always a little cool, but smut is only the tip of the PB Iceberg :cloud9:

I consider myself super lucky to have found my copy for under $10 at a local store:

John Knight and Tom Kalb each had serviceable but not ultra high grade copies on eBay recently. It won't likely turn up anymore for $10. GOD BLESS ...

A check on Abebooks shows that near fine is the best available there.

I'm new to paperbacks, unless you count buying every Frazetta I could find from 1972-1976. One thing I've found, there are several sellers with whom a Fine minus is pretty enough for most people to stop looking with that copy. Earthman On Venus is a classic to me. A Fine minus might be a smart buy.

I wouldn't mind a stickied thread that lists websites or eBay handles of Boardies who also sell PB's and Pulps. 

GOD BLESS ...

I wouldn't mind a for sale section just in the pulp section of the boards!
