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. That cover is absolutely ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post waaaghboss Posted September 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 22, 2023 Huh, I actually won a book lol. Had color touch and glue, but looked decent, and came in less than half what unrestored books were in similar grades. Turns out resto pulps are still within my price range frozentundraguy, Pat Calhoun, comicnoir and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwination Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 No cover! I'll be curious to see what it fetches in that shape. Likely the bidders will be a different crowd than the ones chasing the Spicy and Saucy in the last auction >< asimovpulps and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 any guesses or thoughts on why the worlds savviest comic collector is selling off so many pulps with slabbing right around the corner? Low grade dupes? bad timing? Novocaine prices skyrocketing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one of my sentimental favorites. Was the first pulp I ever bought many, many, many years ago at a flea market. Saw it laying alone on a table. Being a PCH fan, I had to grab it. Was my "gateway drug"... BitterOldMan, OtherEric, jimjum12 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 haha. thats pretty. pretty savvy for sure! I'll admit Im a little tempted by many of these cool covers, but, prices have exploded too far and fast. and of course, (like you) there are just too few high grade opportunities to make a run for them.

Prices seem to have gone up on speculation more than they would have with certification. Doesn't seem like a bad time to sell. tth2, PopKulture and Aman619 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see some books listed as VF or even VF+ that have shredded edges, and then other books in the same grade (or even lower) that appear to have clean edges.

Darwination Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) I'd noticed this one when I looked through as being super-neat and a real "key" (and I'm not sure I've seen it for sale before). Never thought of a horseshoe as a weapon before, but it's a good one. Can conceal it, throw it, strike with it. Tons of neat books up, watching the home stretch here.
