The Undead Thread: Pre-Code Horror 21 21

[Darth Corgi]

Anyone seen this? Over $2500 with another day left. I know the book is rare but geez!

I picked up a solid G+ copy with nice pages for $300 a few years ago and I've seen similar copies going for that range. That said, the book is indeed rare. I usually only see one or two copies a year come up for sale.

$2500 for a tanned-edges 3.5 copy is really steep. Still, this is definitely really rare.

I just saw a copy at last weekend's show in TO.

 

I think the price was in the 1k range.

Thought I would give this thread a bump with this cool CBG ad from1989.

Where the hell is a time machine when you need one?

 

 

Anyone know Al?

[Arkadin]

Great ad, Rick - thanks for posting that. Al was certainly right about the investment potential of 50's books in high grade.

 

NM/MT... how I used to love thumbing through each new CBG looking for books in that grade!

[rjpb]

Descriptions like "NM/MT ( light cover crease)" make me wonder what the actual grades on these books were.

Or even better "VF+ (small chip) cover laminated". Yowza.

[originalisbest]

Note that WTOTF #3 in NM "with light cover crease" is offered as the Bethlehem copy -- I'd bet it looks stellar. Anyone on the boards own this copy today/know of its whereabouts?

[RICK STARR]

I had a few Bethlehem PCH books. One was WTOF #1. It was nice, maybe VF/VF+, but nothing close to this WTOF 3 as a NM/M. Back then you just hoped you were a least getting a VF with those advertised NM and NM/M books.

Those numbers in ink were Overstreet values at that time for issues I had some interest in. I cannot remember if I inquired, because I did not purchase any.

Great stuff Corgi...thanks for hipping me to this thread. As an avid pre-code collector myself I'm ashamed I haven't seen it before!!

[ajaxfarrell]

Could RICK STARR or maybe someone else possibly repost the CBG AD ? It would be cool to see.

[RICK STARR]

Here it is. I am going dig up more old CBG ads from the Alan Light era showing horror/scifi stuff. when I get a chance.

The Bethlehem copy of Weird Tales of the Future 3 NM 395.00, not to mention all the others... wow... What year did this ad come out?

NM Dark Mysteries 1 for $300, wow.....I sold my NM- for $2200 a few years back.

 

Of course, an "NM" in the ad might be a CGC 8.0.

The WTOF 3 is listed as NM with a "light cover crease".

Before pressing... A cgc 8.0 for 395 I'll take it...

 

No gpa for the Beth copy and the other 2 peds, river city and WM sold for almost 3k several years ago...
