    Then somebody should tell Windy City that they posted the wrong image, since I got directly from their 2023 auction website. Check the link yourself: https://windycitypulpandpaper.com/home/?page_id=37

    I know that there is a lot of negotiation space from many angles. I have been offered a zero percent seller's premium by Heritage for a specific item i own. And i'm a tiny fish in a huge ocean of buyers and sellers. I was checking the pics from the Windy City auction and it looks like a different copy than the one sold by Heritage. The Windy city copy was nicer, but I don't know the provenance, and it was not mentioned in the description. See below. Considering the Windy City auction was April 2023, it still wouldn't have been a bad quick turnaround.

    High rollers can apparently negotiate a minimal sellers premium for their wares. I'm sure a savvy consigner with high demand items would negotiate a more favorable rate.

    This looks like the copy that sold at last year's Windy City Pulp Con for $14k. It was considered an astonishingly high hammer price, but looks like it paid off if it's the same copy.

    Thanks to @adamstrange and @sfcityduck for this thoughtful and insightful discussion! Your comments have added significant depth and detail to my understanding of comic genres and ages that I collect. Both of you have valid points and I will be mentally logging much of this information as I enjoy our hobby. All this without even a single moderator warning. Way to keep it classy!

    I agree that pages must be counted (as problematic as that is). Some notable / valuable pulps with landmark firsts have very unimpressive covers, or the covers are unrelated to the important content. i.e REH's first Conan in WT has a nice St. John cover that has nothing to do with Conan, PKD's first published work in Planet Stories has a decent but generic cover, Lovecraft's first Cthulhu story in WT has an unrelated and unremarkable cover. The story pages are the gold here, not the covers.

    Picked this up earlier this year after a hard fought auction. Left with a bruised wallet and this beauty.

    Nice pickups! Alternatively, you could have hit last night's HA auction and spent over a grand for the same books!
