Smash Detective-Crime Cases, November 1950, G/VG, Solidly attached with strong colors.  To say this book is rare is an understatement.  The best online reference for Crime/Detective mags (pofoz) doesn't have a copy pictured.  I've only ever seen 2 copies for sale in over 12 years of looking for these magazines.  $120

I just sent him an image of your cover 

You people

Great detective mags!  I'd never seen this one or the Underworld Detective (which I love).

Thanks, pal!  Don't know why I didn't think to do it.  His site is a wonderful resource for anyone that's interested.  WARNING:  You'll see a lot of really cool books that you'll pretty much never see for sale.

Dang. Sounds like a perfect blind date.

You kidding? According to the cover that's just the "Special Book Bonus". You've got to go through some pretty serious s&*t to get there. I'd pay good money to see that Blind Date.

All, I've cleaned up the thread for what's been sold so far.  Been a busy the last few days but I'll be back tomorrow for a big tranche to close out this sale.

In the meantime, feel free to take 20% off on any mags listed so far!

[Randall Dowling]

All- I got sidetracked with some health stuff.  Feeling a bit better now.  I'm going to wrap up this thread over the next few days with a mixture of things.  Here's a preview of some of what's to come.  Thanks for looking!

Did you say you're going to be posting some sleazy paperbacks?

Thanks, great book! 

[Randall Dowling]

I'm going to start listing again in about 15 minutes.  The next batch will be paperbacks (shocker, I know).  Since these are a bit smaller, I can save on shipping for one or 2 books (depending on size).

Glad to quote options when the time comes.
