Popular Post Raze Posted August 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2022 Finally got a new EC! Ive always liked this but never really had a chance to get one in person. I found this at a local toy show which is always a fun time to go to. I bought this book from one dealer that I’ve dealt with in the past young guy very motivated to sell books. He also had a web of mysteries that he had as well and offered me a good price for both of them but the web of mysteries was not a book that I really wanted and it was also graded a .5 so I pass on getting both. But I brought home the one that matter. now to get it out of this stupid case… Robot Man, Point Five, Mmehdy and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once or twice is enough. Third time they get slabbed. It's a matter of personal choice, of course. With about 2K PCH and crime books, there are numerous books I haven't read in maybe 5-10 years or more. And with my 77 Y.O. memory, re-reading many of them is again a new experience. I've bought numerous slabs over the last few years, and all have been cracked open. I don't really care about investment value or strict preservation; the stories are my evening entertainment. adamstrange, Point Five, Jayman and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Robot Man Posted August 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2022 Every collector collects the way they want to. No right or wrong. I am also mostly a raw collector. The contents are every bit as important to me as the covers. I like having access to them. Even though I crack out many, I have a decent amount of slabbed books. Mostly books I buy for the cover only. With a slab you can admire a wonderful cover, nit picking condition but that is about it. A very short experience. But you just can’t sniff that fragrant order of a Church book through a slab… grendelbo, KirbyJack, Larryw7 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bring your grade expectations down a little and up your budget a little. Cut down on your other buying. They certainly aren’t rare.

This one is a bit of a unicorn though. One of the best, and iconic covers and a 9.8 Gaines. Hard to get more in demand than this one.

Years ago (like 2010-2013) I had a personal rule that I would buy every $50 EC beater that ever came up for sale. Sadly, I let those go when I sold my collection in 2014/2015. Those same beaters are $200 beaters now. I still try and buy them, but not with the frequency I used to - and yeah, this time I ain’t parting with them.
