Righto.  Three so far interested,  anyone else? 
And what  sorts of stuff and price range would suit you all? 
Vintage  signed  Heinleins at  $1000 - $1500? 
50's SF and Fantasy  at  $100 or so?
Obscure 70's signed horror at  $200?
Eighties and up  at  $5 - $10? 
Vintage  paperbacks featuring  true first editions by various  well known  authors?
Limited edition  signed slipcase editions  at  $50 - $500?
Autographed   copies  at  $20 to $200?

All of the above?  Inquiring minds  want to know!
 

 

I'm more interested in the vintage, autographed or slipcase stuff. You had me at obscure horror...

There is at least some cross-over interest in just about any kind of paper ephemera, particularly genre stuff. I don't know that I'd list used textbooks or old auto parts catalogues on the boards, but collectible fantasy and horror hardbacks seem like a natural fit.

All right,   Gang!  Time to get started with  a bit of afternoon fun. 

Amazing  Stories V4 #8, November 1929
Bedsheet size. 

Half inch missing of  lower  spine strip,  otherwise   strip is quite  nice,  with  good  color. *Maybe* a touch of  fading,
and then again, maybe not too. Flat and tight,  square,  bold color, but  tiny corner off lower RH BC, dogears and a couple
small tears  RH edge FC.  Small corners off  many  leaves  upper  RH  corner of book, I can get you a pic or a scan if 
you want.  Supple cream pages.  Once again,  too large for my scanner,  pix of lower edges to follow. 

Asking  $30

That is  IT for this  afternoon's  session,  tune in tonight  at 8 PM or a little earlier for  
a new approach  to  this evening's listings.  

And  still looking for  more  comments and opinions   on the idea of  a  Hardcover Thread over in  Mixed.

Definitely some Baker babes in Outlaws 2! Already have my own copy, but someone should snatch this one up.

SO! 

Moving forward in this thread, I'm changing things around a bit. 

First off,  I have so far listed four bedsheet pulps, and as far as I can tell  no one has so much as glanced at them. 
Unless somebody posts something or PM's me about them  I'm not wasting my time listing the other sixteen in the stack. 

Second, I know that this weekend there are THREE major  comic shows going  here in the Midwest,  Indiana,  Motor City, 
and  WW Chicago,  so I expect a lot of attention is being drawn there. Heh,  if it wasn't for the Covid situation  I would've 
been in Chicago myself, :D 

So,  during the evening sessions  I'm going with a Theme. I'll edit  the  thread title  every day so a quick glance will tell you 
whether it's worth your while to tune in if you're busy elsewhere.  For instance,  tonight's theme is All Things Golden Age, 
Tomorrow will  be All Humor,   Sunday will be All  Bronze Age,  etc.
I'll save all that lovely  PCH for the last day. *evil chuckle*

Any Early Birds and  afternoon  sessions  will still be  Mixed Grille,  and  maybe I'll try to work in a few vintage  hardcovers, 
there seems to be  enough  interest to  do  some experimenting.  

Tune in at 8 PM this evening for All Things Golden Age, and keep the comments and suggestions coming for  Hardcovers.
