@ThothAmon @Surfing Alien thanks for pointing out those pulp references! Sounds like a copy of Bookery's guide could be tough to find.

When CGC started out, we already had the Overstreet price guide and Wizard magazine was still in circulation as well. So you were able to reference either or both for valuation, not to mention the growing volume of internet sales. And that helped a lot to build comic collector's confidence for submitting to CGC. But for pulp, a price guide doesn't exist, nor has anyone really bothered to collect and analyze pulp sales data as of yet...maybe GPA will start doing so. And plus, somewhat related, there's no decent reference book on pulps that I'm aware of, sort of like a Gerber photojournal (correct me if I'm wrong on that). Therefore, to me, the pulp market is a big question mark. I just can't imagine the volume of pulp submissions growing all that much over time - it's very niche. And I see a handful of folks on Instagram hyping it up, a bit of herd-mentality going on there, but that activity seems to be largely confined to that platform. And given how scarce pulps are, I think we'll be seeing the same copy of some of the "blue chip" pulps selling over and over (within a small group of collectors), something like what happens with OA. So we'll see...in any case, good luck to those getting into it and CONGRATS to all the OG pulp collectors who've held on to theirs! Curious what others think.

Been a while and the book is still available so giving this a little bump.

Take X-Men #94 and #162 per PM.

I think the novel crosses over genres, but even so, there are elements to the story that would make me consider it as a science fiction novel...use of "scientific" experiments on life, ethics of medicine, the dangers of interfering with nature, etc. I'm interested to know what are some arguments against classifying Frankenstein as science fiction.

Here is a magnificent page from the critically acclaimed 2-part limited series written by Stan Lee and penciled by legendary French artist, Jean Girard (Moebius).

I could be totally off here, but all indications show that what they have going is a build-to-sell business model. In other words, maybe focusing less on generating profit in the short-term and more on a quality user experience, build brand, prove a viable product, and grow a respectable customer base. It's logical to assume they're gearing it up for potential buyers - but in the end it's an assumption. All in all, I got a lot of respect for them.

probably not far from the truth.

I bet!

Wake up call for CL? Leading collectibles auction site down for 3+ days. Doubt they follow any specific SLA guidelines, but I'm pretty sure this is beyond acceptable site downtime...for an entire year. Once the site is up (if at all), I am taking the following steps: 1. reseting my password 2. manually deleting personal info and credit card on file. 3. request account deletion 4. Likely not do business with them again. To be fair, this problem is not isolated to CL and could happen to most, if not all homegrown e-commerce websites and iPhone apps. Consumers should take heed.
