october Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Moondog hooked me up with this one. The staples have some rust, but the eye appeal is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Even though I was working the convention today, I had a chance to pick up these three golden age lovelies... Great books! Were they free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Even though I was working the convention today, I had a chance to pick up these three golden age lovelies... Great books! Were they free? Five finger discount. Honestly, I felt like I got a good deal on the US Marines and the Weird Thrillers. The Jumbo I paid a bit over guide for, but I can't resist the siren song of the Fiction House horror books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttock Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 You're going to hate me for this, but double check that one for a trim. It's a frequently trimmed book (I've seen it) and should be oversized. That right edge sure looks straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 You're going to hate me for this, but double check that one for a trim. It's a frequently trimmed book (I've seen it) and should be oversized. That right edge sure looks straight. I hate you. Just kidding. I checked the edges and the little printing waves caused by cutting are on all three edges and the same length. The edges on the front and back are also consistent, and not as sharp as they appear on the scan. There is also a corner chip on the back, and if that was trimmed you would think they would have gone a little further in order to get rid of it. I REALLY doubt the book has been trimmed, but it's nice to know that my percentage of book scans followed by a trimming comment is still going strong.

Point Five Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I've seen the US Marines #3 before, but definitely not that nice. Sweet book. Great pickups, Andy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topofthetotem Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 More GA to add to the collection Jungle #102 Jungle #125 I got these from kermitspad on ebay. Seems like a pretty good seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
october Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I picked these up today, the last day of the Chicago Con. I am just thrilled with them. The Beware was from Bedrock and I overpaid a bit, but I don't give a damn. Just a fantastic cover with dripping colors. Horror, shrunken heads, atomic bombs and beachside romance....what more could you ask for? The Red Dragon I saw for the first time a few days ago and Ted from Superworld was nice enough to trade for it. Sucks about the miswrap, but the image area is very nice. I love the unusual cover art.

Durden08 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Is strangling a skeleton an effective way of winning a fight? Seriously, that's a real nice Hangman cover. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
