Robot Man Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I agree with Jim. I often mix in pulps with my GA comic sales threads. Have never had a problem to this point though. asimovpulps, adamstrange, OtherEric and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PULP SALE/TRADE THREAD I think they could be listed in GSB as well. I have also pinned this thread to the top. It expires in 2 weeks. If there is a majority in favor of this, I will create the sub forum after the grading contest. There is a slight chance I could do it before but doubtful, as I am currently very busy without the contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Agreed that a separate forum would be useful, with the same caveat that they should still be allowed in GSB as well. I would also suggest that it should be made explicit that paperback sales could be in the pulp section as well, if it does get created.

Most are mid grade and cheap' A slower moving thread might be a good idea with that type of material.

There's more of that going on that pulp sales lately, though I'd love more pulp sales here, too. I don't mind pulps/pbs in the GA section as is, but they can sort of get lost in the shuffle.

Surfing Alien Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I don't really have an opinion on a separate pulp sales thread as I only buy a few and have hardly ever sold one so it's ok by me. As far as pb's, I sell a lot of comic-book related pb's and GGA that the G/S/B boardies have testified to me, almost to a man, that they were thrilled they discovered on my sales threads because they now love them but never even knew many of them existed before. So as long as the 40-s-70's pbs can still be sold on G/S/B I'm fine with it. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toz Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Pulps & PB's.Awesome idea.Hardbacks could be included also as long as the material is related. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator CGC Mike Posted April 3 Author Administrator Share Posted April 3 I have a question. Can we get by with just 1 sub forum, for all pulps and TPB's? If not, please give examples/reasons why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, please give examples/reasons why. Mike, are you thinking a sub-forum in the "Comics Market - Forum Only Selling Area"? As in, alongside "mixed", "CA/MA", "GA/SA/BA", etc.? If so, I think that could work quite well. I always assumed it would be a subforum of the pulp forum, kind of like the original art forum. But I'm fine in either case.

Readcomix Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 My first reaction was it’s fine the way things are, but if so many pulp collectors want it separate, it’s worth a shot! Douglas raised a good question above — does it go under Comics selling area or under pulps, a la OA? I think it should go in the Pulps section; Mixed is already a no man’s land that few can find! Would a pulps sub-section also be the place for Mens adventure mags, since we’re talking hardbacks and paperbacks too? (I also assume it would be the place for Big Little Books, but I think those are deader than stamps. I remember seeing those things at shows as a teenager in the 80’s and thinking they were old guy stuff back then!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for any confusion, Mike. I’m thinking they all go together as a sales sub-forum under Pulps discussion section, as OA has one under Original Art discussion section of the boards.

Randall Dowling Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 This is similar to how MyComicShop has a section called "Vintage Paper" that has Pulps, digests, paperbacks, men's mags, detective mags, etc., all in one place. comicjack, Readcomix and grendel013 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Dowling Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Someone just messaged me a pretty valid concern. Curious what others think. If all sales of "Vintage Paper" are quarantined to the Pulp forum, that's a pretty big loss of traffic for potential new collectors to find. Given the increasing interest in these collectibles, seems like it makes some sense to allow old books, magazines, and pulps to still be listed in the GA/SA/BA forum, much like how original art is often sold outside of that forum in the various other sales areas. More exposure is better, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
