I built my pulp collection late 90s to 2003 then sold when they doubled in price. 🤮 greggy, waaaghboss and tth2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Heritage bump that great when it comes to your net? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. The bigger more valuable books sell individually, some of the lower value books sell in lots. jimjum12 and manetteska 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s crazy some of those aren’t broken out of the lots: War of the Worlds Amazing Stories and Dynamic Science for sure should be offered individually, as should some Planets. Forbush-Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Saucy Movie Tales, March 1937, graded as VF+ (and it looks sharp indeed in the scans), went for $28,800.  Bookery's Guide lists it at $2,250 in VF! comicjack and Darwination 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage should add that to their description! Or maybe now is the time for a new Pulp guide to come out, given how hot the market is.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Linguini Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) Damn. I should not have slept on this one. Some decent pickups under $200 A few really nice shadow covers. And this was a lot 5 books for $200 from heritage is quite reasonable. Nothing spectacular in this lot except this. I will own this pulp !!! 1 more edit. This is actually 5 or 4 "library" bound in 1 volume. Edited September 22, 2023 by Jack Linguini more is always better 1x more with feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
