Pulps have not had the benefit of a Gerber Photo Journal book. Thusly, most are undiscovered. I see ones every day I never knew existed. Pulps have breathed a lot of new life in my collecting endeavors. I have known for years that they are much more rare than comics. Very few people had the forsight to amass large collections in high grades. Comics have many pedigrees, pulps as of now, do not. In knowing all of this, I have always known that the time to buy one you like is when you see it. Might never again get the chance. There are so many cool ones in all genres. But, they will always be second fiddle to comics for me.

Anybody got a show report? With a few photos?

True and why I have graded very few comics but sending in a lot of pulps. Although I can still enjoy them in a Mylar. I just figure before prices go through the roof, I can still afford the grading costs. Yes, I am primarily a cover collector. But, I too have read many pulps. Spider and the horror ones have some real wild stories. I also like Bradbury and a few other writers. The hobby has become too “cover centric”. Thus prices on the classic ones have risen so high. Same with “wall gazers” at cons. Folks are to lazy to dig boxes and discover books for their actual content…

My favorite of the run and the only one I have. Earliest surfing cover on a comic book.

It is indeed and all yours! Many thanks!

Looks like the mice got the better of the Kitty on this one...

Great thread and what an accomplishment! Looking forward ti the rest! This is about all I can contribute...

Deep is the Night also goes to Comical Situations. Thanks again sir!

I think that will do it for today. I have about the same I will post tomorrow and call it a thread. Thanks for looking!
