the blob Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Anyone have experience consigning pulps. I have a small collection of pulps and, frankly, it might be time to sell as I don't actually know much about pulps and I don't want to try on eBay as I don't even know how to grade them and pricing is a guess. Pricing on mcs is a guess as almost none are in stock, but I can use existing prices on similar issues as a guide. Many fall within their consignment guidelines $-wise. I think they are cool but don't bring joy. I will probably keep the one that is Frank Herbert's first published work.

the blob Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 How did I amass these pulps? Every couple of years I bid on pulps based on price, cover coolness, and if they have an author I have heard of. Not much logic. Mostly sci fi kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Some pulps are valuable if they have first publication of works like "Who Goes There?" the Thing movie was based on, Lovecraft works etc. General pulps can be had for like $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Pulps with "Spicy" in the title can be worth good money. kav, Beige and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly sci fi Some go for good money based on condition and cover content that is where you start.The crazy covers with females are the most desired by me i collect here and there.I think some of those covers blow comic books out of the water with the cover art and what is on the inside, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a thought exercise, if I want to see your pulp selection but don’t know the titles well enough to do specific title searches, is there any way to see all the pulps in one place?

Try a search for "pulp", it pulls up an extensive list. Maybe mcs has a better search option, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess speaking as a potential seller of pulps through MCS, I would like to see an obvious Pulps link from the homepage the way there is for GA, SA, BA & Modern Comics, as there does not seem to be one (or, I thought, perhaps there is one and I'm missing it). Just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
