Batman vs. The Penguin Paperback Signet D2970 1966 $20 An affordable copy of probably the toughest of the Batman Signets to find in decent shape. Usually beat to death Has light creases that don't break color, and soiling, mostly to the back cover. Still bright, square and collectible

I know this doesn't belong here, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I purchased an Incredible Hulk #181 CGC 9.0 from @Professor K. I know that most of you, including me, rarely visit the Bronze Age Comic Books forum. Check it out here.

All yours, and thank you so much!

Added to your pile, and thanks again!

Just back from CGC

The 31st Of February by Julian Symons Bantam 1059 1953 $10 Beautiful uncredited cover art on this mystery Super glossy, unread copy with a few light bends, tiny edgewear

I think I just bought a comic with a tampered holder, possibly with a switched comic inside. I don't think it is related to the ZaneGlor incident, but I am posting here as an example of holder tampering. The case has obviously been opened and the label looks screwy. Here are some (bad) photos. I'll take better ones later. The registration number matches, but there isn't a photo, so that doesn't tell me anything.

I picked up a very nice set of Planet Stories recently. Working on completing a true F/VF or better run. Getting very close.

Scandalous by Ralph Carter Century Book No. 91 1947 $20 Headlights GGA art by Malcolm Smith. These little paperback sized Century Books with the Smith art are tough to find in nice shape due to the paper covers Fine plus. Bold colors. Square and tight with very light creases to the edges.

thanks., I know., I have been selling for 15 years. However, Hong Kong ebay is much more strict than US ebay in terms of monthly limits so no options of calling as they will go with the automatic increase and given I technically have received an increase I am not entitled for another one. Which is why I have 1000 slabs for sale through MCS as have no limits to sell them.

Dealer's room is sold out and we have some new guys!

I have been on the fence, but I will buy slabbed pulps eventually. 1 factor for CGC: Old grading of Fair G/VG and fine doesn't say enough about the grade for me. Like anything, all pulp seller's grading is not created equal. Tired of buying fines that don't seem/feel fine to me. 1 against: Just because it's graded doesn't mean it's a 600 dollar pulp. I have seen too many "common" pulps immediately go to 300 and higher for books you can get(if you can find a reliable seller) for 50 to a hundred bucks. So, if prices start adjusting to reality, I will probably buy graded books just so I can "rely" on the grade. If, everything gets graded, I will probably quit pulps and stick with paperbacks.

The Silken Nightmare by Carter Brown Signet G2400 First Printing 1963 $15 Nice peek-a-boo McGinnis Good Girl Fine Plus. Square and solid, looks VF. Surface gloss is slightly disturbed. Light code number on spine Inside covers are snow white

Great book. Back in the day, I always wanted a high grade copy that was reasonable priced. Never found one I liked.

Please provide a picture of the interior of the back cover.

Ok I've been staring at that Hieney long enough

The Captive Witch by Dale Van Every Bantam A1090 1st Printing Feb. 1953 $8 Gorgeous Harry Schaare cover on this Bantam Giant, including a nice spanking panel on the back Very nice copy with only spine wear to mention

MOST DIFFICULT BOOKS OF THE REGULAR RUN (VARIANTS NOT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. - SPAWN 201 10. - SPAWN 26 Other people have mentioned having a hard time with this one. Looking back, I think I did as well. Lower print runs and unforgiving jet black everywhere. Those are the typical reasons why there are so many tough books in the run...at least if you insist on having 9.8s or higher. I really dig this cover, even though I'm not a big fan of Spawn with FANGS.

Raymond Johnson was NOT stingy with the heiney. GOD BLESS ... -jimbo(a friend of jesus)

Fistful of Death by Henry Kane Avon T-276 PBO 1958 $25 Raymond Johnson redhead in a nice back shot. A tough hard boiled original Glossy and tight. Slight slant. Mild reader crease and a light crease on back.
