When I picked it up at the show, I couldn't put it down! He had a certified 9.0 which was awesome, but this mid-grade raw copy was just what I needed! Now hopefully, I can find more in a similar grade range and reasonably priced! Hard to believe you have never dabbled in ECs. I was snagged hook line and sinker as a young lad when my uncle gave me a small pile of his originals. All the titles and genres. I have owned pretty much all of them several times. And read them over and over. Pretty much everything paled in comparison. As far as “reasonably priced” goes, I guess it is in the eyes of the buyer. I have seen them rise a LOT over the years. But, if you can live with solid readers, most can still be found with patience, without having to morgage the farm. If you want 6.0 or over, prepare to “man up”… Larryw7, grendelbo and Frisco Larson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The E.C.s always seemed available so I figured I could get into them at any later point. I wish I still had the ones I sold, like the pic below.

I had a nice presenting 5.0 and upgraded to a 7.0. Probably as high as I will go at this point. I just can’t seem to cut loose my undercopy… Grab some sci fi and especially the war ones. Incredible readers and still, I think, undervalued. KirbyJack, Larryw7, Raze and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have an eyeball on them when I go to shows now. As stunning as they are, I doubt I'll be able to afford any Gaines file copies, but I'd likely leave those slabbed if I DID buy any, so raw readers will be the ticket for me.

Even I've been able to afford a Gaines File Copy. I really need to get it slabbed one of these days. OK, it's so I can say I have a GFC more than anything else... but I've got one!

Popular Post Raze Posted December 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2022 We were on page 3! So lets get back on page 1. This was my first Tales from the Crypt book I ever bought (I think maybe second) and I got it from @EC ed it still has the micro chamber paper in it and looks great!

KirbyJack Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I’m fairly sure that issue was my first TFTC, too. I sold mine off, as is consistent with my genius. Another example: I made the guy who bought my Crime Patrol 15 give me LESS than his offer. Raze, fifties, OtherEric and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why this one is more elusive than others? Great Wood cover. Wish he had done more horror covers. (Is this his only one, not counting Shock?)

Totally unscientific I know, just my gut feeling. IDK what horror covers Woody did. You could go to the Grand Comic Database to find out though. Funny thing is, I just bought a second copy of this issue in a bit better (I hope) condition, so I might offer this one FS when I get the other one in.
