Could somebody please tell me the reason for the price on this set of monster mags...

 

Famous Monsters of Filmland

Are you aghast that they were too expensive or too cheap?

 

#11 and #12 are notoriously difficult to find in high grade and either one

would fetch $500+ for a VF/NM copy, and the others aren't that easy either.

I think this was someone bidding safely for what they are hoping are some

nice copies.

 

FM's have been on the rise in the past year (not just #1), there have been several examples of #s between 3-20 selling for over a grand each in high grade.

I'm aghast over the price they commanded ...I have zero knowledge on the value of these books...

Certainly peaks the collector bug in me...

>Certainly peaks the collector bug in me

 

just an esoteric correction...

 

i believe the word you (and many others) are using is actually "pique" (e.g. it piqued my interest, or it piques my interest). the word is derived from a french word - and it isn't actually from the word to "peak" in english.

 

for the dictionary minded out there:

Hence the use of the after I used the word....I'm keenly aware of the actions of the Forum Grammar Correction Agency...

There are a many hardcore collectors of this magazine, with early issues commanding very high prices. If you're a horror buff, this is THE series to collect. Issues after 33 are easier to locate (with certain issues being tougher) as they started overprinting them with many issues being found in warehouses afterwards. They can be a fun read if you like old horror flicks, and they have many excellent black and white stills you won't find anywhere else (although they reprinted many features over, and over and over again).

Yes, the Grammar Police should consider trying to correct such errors to be a mute issue.

 

(That's one of my favorite ones, but it doesn't seem to peak the interest of the GPs as much...)

Don't start with me. Joanna and I will be like the Harbingers of Doom, swooping down upon all of you. "Pique," "moot," and of course, my personal favorite - argument, which only has one "e" in it. To the dragons, we ride!

"IRREGARDLESS", your "ARGUEMENT" for this "MUTE" issue certainly continues "PEAKS" my interest...
