Just arrived.

AAA x 2

Just in.

Personally I'm for both. Dedicated sub forum, yes. Being allowed to put the odd pulp in GSB? Yes to that....also

I plan to get a handful graded but storage has gotton to be an issue for me. Unslabbed pulps take up a lot more room than comics already…

Yeah. I'm going to be leaning toward raw more now. I downsized years ago when my kids grew up. I just don't have the room or space for lots of slabs. I've felt like this for years about comic book slabs which I keep purposely low...but these pulps are big mofos.

Here is my first one.....

 

 

Just wanted to comment on the actual slab.

This just arrived, it's robust and substantial and heavy. It's an inch thick and so quite easy to see why CGC waited until they had the logistics sorted out for slabbing pulps.

All I can say is that anyone planning on an abundant collection of encapsulated pulps is going to need a lot of room at their disposal.

It's a monster!

I've always loved PULP covers but its always been in that shadowy unknown world of where is a pulp's place in the market?

The Pulp genre has now been given a leg up in the collecting world in my view, with the advent of CGC deciding to grade them. This of course may inflate the market BUT I do believe it will give some assurance to potential collectors.

I've always admired the risque and salacious covers, the horror element and let's face it...the downright superb artwork on some pulps.

Now that there is some sort of benchmark on their condition I really feel enthusiastic on finally collecting them.

I have no interest in cracking them because obviously it's basically all text within BUT I will enjoy collecting them purely for the cover artwork.

Anyone else jumping on the Pulp bandwagon?

Here is my first one.....

As you know, I am new to the pulp game.

10 days or so can be a helluva long time in the world of collecting. I've highlighted two bits of my original post, which quite frankly, I now feel embarrassed about.

After extensive research and searching I am very dismayed to find some dealers literally gouging buyers out there because the pulp book happens to be in a slab. Shock horror I know.

I still think CGC grading them is a positive move overall but I have now started buying raw as well which seems far more buyer friendly. I shall continue to buy the odd slab, but only if the seller does not want me to put my children in as a down payment and lend him my house every other month.
