Weird Tales and Planet Stories, for instance. And even at the low end you're less likely to find underpriced books like you used to. But a generic western issue won't have moved much, for instance. Yes, good point on Weird Tales and Planet. OtherEric and waaaghboss 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waaaghboss Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Just a number of unrelated pulps I was watching and what they sold for. Going through my watched history, a number of books I saved I noticed were posted here by people who won them, so I didn't include those so as to not be tacky. If I accidently put a book someone here won in this list, let me know and I'll delete it. Spoiler $113. Interesting cover. Always appreciate war era covers. 2 years before D Day, 2 years after Dunkirk. $175. Not surprising, this book is sharp! $165. I love how the annual sub price is on the front cover. $127, no back cover. Earl Stanley Gardner. I used to buy old paperbacks from ESG for my mom when I ran across them at bookstores, but this is more than I'd pay for something she'd read and then throw away. $214. I saw a few weeks ago someone on FB not familiar with pulps found a big pile of old pulps, and had a number of black masks. Wonder what happened to them. $47. Not a pulp, I know, but became aware of this title when I was reading about Seabury. Really wish I went more aggressively after this book, I love the cover. $153. Wow. Don't know what to say other than I love this insane tacky cover, and the back of the book looks like a pot of coffee spilled on it. $182. A-head of the curve with the manbun. $257. Healthy price for the second best Startling cover. Yes, second best Edited November 3, 2021 by waaaghboss jimjum12 and OtherEric 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waaaghboss Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) Couple healthy VG Planet sales. Bid sniper got some, feels like I'm watching GA comic auctions Spoiler 161. I had it at 45 up until the last minute, and 3 people drove it up a healthy amount. Personally the coolest cover of the bunch. 149 341. This one was fun to watch. Like a football game, back and forth, from 100 bucks to 306 within the last 2 minutes of the auction. 51. Had this one at 50 till the last second. Seems like it was underpriced looking at the ending prices of the other books around it. 50 to 160 in the last minute or so. I did end up walking away with at least 1 book. $12.50 Edited November 23, 2021 by waaaghboss OtherEric and PopKulture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only got the two I've quoted above, the Leydenfrost Planets are definitely in demand but $306 seems like a very solid price for a copy in that grade. Very happy with my copy, given that I got it essentially for free. (I bought a small batch of pulps and flipped one of them for roughly what I had paid for the lot.) The Super Science Stories is beat up but may seem like a steal not too far in the future, it's Ray Bradbury's first profession publication. waaaghboss, Scrooge and rjpb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waaaghboss Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Are there any good articles on pulp storage? Stacking or standing, good bags and boards to use, best practices etc? Tried googling around a few times in the past and can't find any decent info. IngelsFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua33 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Couple of nice books on the Heritage S/M sale this week. Most went for decent prices. A couple too high, but pretty level overall. Anybody score anything good from the sale? IngelsFan and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joshua33 Posted December 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2021 Looks like this is the right place to post this, so here ya go... I will be hosting a pulp only sales thread on Sunday evening at 5pm PST. The sale will have many pulps that are duplicates or don't fit my collection, but are by no means non desirables. This will be a thread chalk full of desirable pulps in good condition or better, with highly desirable subject matter and board favorable pricing. See you there!!! Feel free to PM me with wantlists, and I'll see if I can oblige. I will also post in pre announcements.

I don't have any answer for this other than "it depends". Some of the British editions are almost identical to the US editions, some drop illustrations or stories, and other changes. My gut reaction is they're usually less than the US versions, but that's far from universal, and given the increased interest in UK comic variants I could see UK pulps jumping as well. Further confusing the issue is there are at least some pulps... Astounding in the late 30's comes to mind... which have UK editions that have the US price on the cover. I'll try to dig out my one example and show it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
