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.

I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours!

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!

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.

Here's a sly bit of daylight robbery by DC I just came across. This pulp was published in 1940....25 years later DC thought no-one was looking when they put it with no shame, front and centre, on their 80 page Giant....oh, and five years previous to that on a JIMMY OLSEN. Cheeky monkeys. -

Matt Fox did this pulp cover in 1949 then decided to recycle it for Chilling Tales, by using most of the art idea and flipping the image....three years later. Love me some Fox. -
