Prices seemed reasonable.

DC at it again with a pulp from 1940 and the whole gist of the cover turning up 21 years later!

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.

A question about slabbing. I have read that it's common for pulps to have overhang on the covers and results in quite a few trimmed books

I know that CGC rejects comics with covers that overhang but apparently they don't for pulps. The bottom of both the front and back covers on this book are curled under the interior pages inside the inner well.

I suppose this may be unavoidable but is this generally acceptable to pulp collectors?

I'm only a PULP noobie, a Poobie if you will....but it don't bother me in the slightest.

Seems like I have seen a LOT of pulps come back purple from CGC. I suspect that most folks did some work to “conserve” them rather than resto for profit like comics. Has always been a different market. 

I've noticed this too, but I have to say it really doesn't bother me on these. I'm just happy to get them if the price is right for me.

Wonderful pieces of time travel history. My mum is nearly 94, and that one I just posted came out when she was just three years old.

No offense intended. Its one of the most fun threads on the boards; thank you. I've posted OA before too. I  figured over the many years since you started it it had taken on a life of its own. I think we all largely keep to covers most of the time. I thought a peek inside Batman #4 would be an OK brief departure. 

No worries. I appreciate it. I'm glad people enjoy it. I'm probably the least active participant as my collection is miniscule, so I really love the way you guys, all of you, keep it going.

You and your highbrow references! I'm gonna need either a Simpsons or a Seinfeld analogy to bring it down to my level. 

 

Done!.

Oh hey, sorry about that. I'm guilty of posting pages on occasion myself. Oh, and I've posted original art too. Sorry. 

No, I'm ok with that now and again, which is why I've not said anything...but if we go to panels it just dilutes the idea of the cover connections.

All I can say is that when I started the thread I meant it to be covers only but if you guys are happy including splashes I'm alright with it, but I think we should draw the line at individual panels.

@Paul © ® ⚽️💙™ left page, fifth panel

I'm aware of that. My emoji was because panels are out. It's really meant to be just covers.
