Dime Sports, June 1936 Is it possible to see a photo of the letter? RedFury and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for Action Stories. Much more so than Weird Tales. My theory on this is that despite its low print run, WT was bought by the geeks and nerds of the time, natural-born collectors. Generic pulps were read and discarded or not cared for. I don't have any data to back this up, though. Just a hunch. Do we actually have data of the print runs of WT and mags like Fight Stories to compare? An alternative explanation is that WT became valuable in the 1960s, so people began looking for that title at used book stores, flea markets, etc., and left behind sports mags, which were deemed to have no value. The latter were thrown away in droves as they went unsold, making them far more scarce today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This first issue is quite uncommon. Great boxing cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
