This is Who We Are

Picked up a clean copy of Badtime Stories Always liked this cover- actually, I dig the back more than the front. Wrightson is tops👍🏻

C'mon! You're holding back the piece that the back cover is completely missing

I came across a couple skywalds I’ve had trouble finding in nice shape -I love the color choice on both but holy cow- a lightning rod for greasy oily fingers and other bad things😂

That is a beautiful copy! Thank you so much for posting this! What an awesome piece and an incredible grading reference!

Thanks for the feedback! The back has some minor wear for sure (I'm thinking the back is more VF, maybe VF+, but I'm truly hoping the totality of the book sends it a bit higher, but you are in a much better position to be objective :). A Signed Nightmare 20?!?! That's phenomenal!!! That age old question arises for me (but insert signed Nightmare 20)...Tis better to have love and lost than never to have loved at all?

Eerie 17 is such a great cover- colors are so vibrant- a real standout. Nice find👍🏻

Thank you for this! Magazines with their greater surface area tend to be graded with greater leniency by my experience. And you’re right! It’s very slow- I’m considering fast track and May even shoot for a press but not sure- but when I look at cost my wallet cries out in pain 😂

Gosh! I always appreciate your insight! Thank you!

Greatly appreciate thoughts on grade. Was excited to find a copy of this magazine in such nice shape and considering having it graded- may benefit from a press . .really curious if this has a shot at 9 or higher. Back has some minor wear-e.g minor bottom left corner rub - not a color breaking crease. Hoping the totality of condition will bring it up. Thanks again!

You just don’t see Eerie pubs in that kind of grade. Outstanding pick ups!!!

Cue Eye of the tiger - hopefully no lions show up

Some big names playin in this sandbox tonight

Rip's got an eye for great mags!! Well Done!!!

I hear you Greg… if I had a buck for how many times I was a few minutes too late. It’s quite impressive the surgical precision and laser quickness they sniff out treasures Barely missed some great skywalds the other day- literally just by minutes but alas, just wasn’t meant to be. I have to remind myself that I’ve been on the end of some poor chap feeling like he missed a gold mine by but a few minutes because I got there first or got a winning bid—I say this only to try and make myself feel better LOL itll be fun to see if/when some nice slabbed skywalds are put up on display on the threads- kudos to the guy who got there first👍🏻

One of my all-time favorite covers! Well Done, Good Sir!!!

What are the chances these show up in the famous, Bounty's Halloween Harvest of Horrors??? Asking for a friend . Man those are sharp...I'd say we all needs us some friends like the one who picked those up for you. That's a solid buddy right there.

This is awesome. I happened to be staying in Astoria Oregon on National Goonies Day (June 7th). When I was scheduling my trip, I had no idea I'd landed on the 37th anniversary of the Goonies release in theaters. Has to be one of the most serendipitous situations I've ever experienced. What a cool place to visit/explore.

Well thanks but that was nothin- I would’ve done that for you and anybody else on here. 👍🏻

Man RIp, That 16 is What I would consider the best of the most overlooked Skywald mags…and I’m sure it’s only overlooked because you just don’t see them come up like the one you got there. Amazing find! You had to have dug deep to find that 16…you could go a lifetime or two without finding one near as nice -bravo Guy👍🏻

I got something really special to share- the magnitude of the book is only exceeded by the generosity of my friend Dave In Detroit—a long Long time collector of top shelf horror magazines and books—like right off the rack in the sixties/seventies collector to give you an idea. Well, he sent this to me out of the blue and it arrived yesterday. I’m still processing his extremely kind gesture. Even if a beater, I’d have treasured what would’ve been a kind gift from a friend, but this copy isn’t that— A conservative grade range would be 9.2-9.6 as you would’ve found it on the store shelf back in 1965. Please pardon the glare! The images don’t do it justice but I couldn’t bring myself to remove this from the Mylar A random act of generosity you just seldom see. To those maybe not familiar with this book, it’s an original painted cover by the master himself - Frank Frazetta - pre-Warren work if I have my facts straight Im humbled by Dave’s generosity. This hobby holds some incredible people- many on these threads— …well enough already, I excitedly post what I hope will be to your enjoyment 👍🏻

to answer you, “Has he been banned from this Board?? “ Nope! He is just not on the boards- no one asked you to protect all of us hobbyists. Your rant sounds like a personal problem and so again I’ll suggest that you reach out to the seller directly if you have an issue

WHY DOES DAVE'S BUSINESS PRACTICE BOTHER YOU SO MUCH ? - WHY DIDN'T YOU SUBMIT A BID TO BUY THE MAGAZINE ? WHY ARE YOU CARRYING ON ABOUT THINGS THAT DON'T CONCERN YOU ? This isn’t the kind of forum where we tear each other down. Dave is a longtime seller, has demonstrated being a person of integrity and has some of the most incredible magazines that can be found. If you have a problem with him, I would suggest speaking with him directly instead of airing your rants on a forum where he is unable to even defend himself

NO - This Seller is not a SOB - His stellar Feedback as a seller speaks for itself. He sells locally in his area as well as on eBay and where ever the right offer is submitted is where the item sells - Also the listing on eBay was "Best Offer" Not an auction so everybody had an equal opportunity.

With the price point of a 9.2....I think I'll be able to swim in the Fine range...maybe

Straight from the Legend Himself. He was actually pretty spot-on...How's he do that?!?!
