alecholland Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 On 3/16/2024 at 6:42 PM, Surfing Alien said: Just FYI for my fellow board members. I can't afford them, but a bookseller I have bought from several times and can recommend highly has all four of these currently for sale on his website. He does take offers as well, but he might be pretty firm on these. I thought about buying them myself, but financially the timing is bad for me right now. I'd be really happy if one of my fellow board members was able to grab these. The Hobbit looks like it has a few condition issues (I'd probably pass on that one), but the Lord of the Rings trilogy looks pretty nice. Here are the links for anyone interested: Lord of the Rings trilogy The Hobbit jimjum12, mrwoogieman and johnenock 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hap Hazard Posted April 11 Popular Post Share Posted April 11 Finally had time to start opening some boxes. Have around 7 long boxes of paperbacks I picked up in the last 25 years. Here's some pics of the first two rows of one long box. Plan on doing some organizing in the next few weeks and maybe some sales threads, may copy Robot Man's example of selling paperbacks. Problem is I have so many! mrwoogieman, Darwination, PopKulture and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sickness for those great Popular Library books with Belarski covers. Few could paint a terrified woman like ‘ole Rudolph. Now might be a good time to run a sale Steve. I wouldn’t say they are “hot” but gaining a little steam. My current sale has done real well. If priced right, you will move a lot of the ones you decide not to keep. This is one area where a smart collector can put together a nice collection without breaking the bank. Problem is, they just don’t turn up out “in the wild” likely used to so replacing them is a lot harder now. Just be willing to put in a little work and you might be suprised… johnenock, Sarg and jimjum12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hap Hazard Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 On 3/16/2024 at 6:03 PM, Surfing Alien said: Thanks I got my set of Army Romances in other places. I NEED an upgrade of No. 3, mine has a sub crease but it's just rare as hell. One of the type things I flew to the LA show to look for. When no copies show up anywhere, for years, you know you gotta get what you can get when you can get it LoTR sets are fairly plentiful, but they are very high demand. I consider them a bell-weather set for the hobby, kind of like AF15 for Silver Age comics. Plenty of them out there, but everyone needs a set and the higher the grade the price keeps inching up. The set pictured is my 4th set, always upgrading each individual book. I don't think a higher grade set could exist but I could be wrong, there's virtually no flaws and they are very thick books and were highly read so very difficult to get (and keep) nice. I sold my undercopies to these recently for $650 on the bay. They only lasted a couple of days on there. That's nothing $-wise in comic world but I remember when you could get a real nice set for $100. I probably shouldn't have sold them but I keep telling myself I can't keep everything and will use the money to fill other holes. The Hobbit is the Ballantine file copy. The centering is so tough on that book, my heir will have to sell that one I will have to dig them out of a box but I have the Spring issue of Army Romances and it's companion book Navy Romances.
