Dime Sports, June 1936 Is it possible to see a photo of the letter? FoggyNelson and RedFury 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...
Popular Post rjpb Posted November 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2021 Fight Stories May 1931. Supposedly scarce, but I don't know for sure. Includes "Texas Fists" by Howard. jimjum12, Sarg, waaaghboss and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pulpvault Posted January 28 Popular Post Share Posted January 28 In addition to material from the estates of Bob Weinberg and Glenn Lord that will be in the Friday night (May 6) and Saturday night (May 7) auctions at this year's Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention (May 6-8, 2022 at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, IL), we'll have some rare items from other consignors. Here's one of those, the Holy Grail of Robert E. Howard collecting, the 1937 Herbert Jenkins edition of "A Gent from Bear Creek." Per The World of Robert E. Howard website, only 18 copies are know to exist. This copy comes from the estate of Alistair Durie, who bought it at a London bookshop. The dustjacket (which I'll show in the comments) is not original, but a color copy that Alistair got from Glenn Lord. This book will be in our Friday night (May 6) auction. frozentundraguy, Pulpflakes, Xaltotun and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post frozentundraguy Posted February 27 Popular Post Share Posted February 27 My collection is a little light on Pulps, but I do have a copy of Avon Fantasy Reader #8, with the all too short story "Queen of the Black Coast" by Howard.
