But what can we do at this point? they were undervalued in the 70s I suppose. If you have a budget of $100-130 a month you can pick up one half decent lower grade book a month. Or ten pulps with awesome covers: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fantasy-Fiction-June-1953-Vol-1-2-The-Digest-Enthusiast-No-Label/303914519152?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111314%26meid%3Dba98752546a94f9da0d6d3ced55a2d88%26pid%3D101195%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpf%26sd%3D164497545481%26itm%3D303914519152%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv9PairwiseUnbiasedWeb&_trksid=p2047675.c101195.m1851 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure undervalued is a term I would use to describe the current comic market, at least when it comes to EC PCH. Yeah even ECs that for a long time barely brought guide in the hey day of the reprints. Thing is, most of them are almost always available on a regular basis. I'm trying to finish off my horror runs. I need about 6. None of the key issues or covers just the "average" ones. Seems like 3-4 times guide is current going rate. Because of their availabliity, I'm just going to hold out for the right book at the right price. I won't get several at a time like a year or so ago, but I figure I will finish them off this year.
