Great cover! I love the pulp baseball issues. Makes me want to dip into my pulp boxes and revisit them. Looks like the Phillies made some deep investing this year. Hope it pays off for you. Me, I’m just dying again this year. My team has won their division 5 or 6 times in a row and two unsuccessful WS trips in a row.  It just has gotta happen this year...

I like the baseball, football, and hockey ones best.  Anything with a great cover that catches my eye, or features a famous player.  Fun stuff!

Yeah, I have high hopes for my Phillies this year.  We'll see how all the new pieces fit together and hope it runs like a well-oiled machine.  Good luck to your Dodgers!  Thanks for taking care of Utley for the last few years.

Great romance pulps Fury. I rarely see them much any more and these are awesome!

Thanks!  I really like holiday covers, and like you mentioned romance pulps are hard to find, so even though I prefer to collect in high grade I've learned with these sometimes you have to take what you can get.  But it's exciting when I do find an upgrade!

It was an honor to have Chase Utley as a Dodger. Hard to find a man so dedicated to his craft and so talented. A great human being and family man. He is a local from my home town and does a lot for local kids. Too bad he didn’t get a ring here. I know how beloved he was in Philly. We all miss him terribly.

Today's book.  Pity about the tape on the spine; but it could be a lot worse.

Another issue with the classic Weird Tales triple:  Brundage, REH, and HPL.  The Lovecraft story, "The Shunned House", is arguably the first appearance of the story.  It was actually printed several years earlier, but for various reasons that printing wasn't actually distributed until the 50's.  So first publication that made it to market.

Some amazing condition pulps coming from the Glynn Crain collection at Ha.com, click under illustration art...they look mint spicy's etc

[detective35]

Spicy’s are very nice, but not mint.  The pictures they have up do not show the edges of the pulp overhangs, the pictures are cropped!

However, the entire Planet run is from the Yakima collection,  so they will be all close to NM with white pages

[Robot Man]

I have just a handful of Yakimas. Nothing real key but wanted to have a few in my collection. In general, nicest pulps I have ever seen. The pages are amazing. Mine all look like they were never read. Not many pedigree pulp collections out there but they certainly deserve a pedigree in my opinion.

[Robot Man]

Here is about the only Yakimia I have a picture of but you get the idea...  Came with a cool COA from Dave Smith of Fantasy Illustrated.

[RedFury]

This is pretty much all you need to know about the Yakima copies.

[PopKulture]

I was tired of watching TV tonight so I pulled out some boxes of old dime novels and "thick books," as they are called. These are basically pre-pulps, so I figured I post a few.   

[ThothAmon]

This cover was swiped for Shadow Comics 5. Used a word square to obscure neck cut on the comic.  One of my top three pulps  

 

[detective35]

Here are just a tiny fraction of The Shadows I have from the Yakima collection.

Truely, a picture worth a thousand words.

So I missed setup at WonderCon yesterday, but today a story was circulating regarding a killer stack of 10 early Weird Tales pulps. I managed to track down the source and main buyer, and all I can say is that I have never seen pulps in this type of condition before. The only downside (for me) was that the page quality was cream with a hint of edge tanning, still supple and nice. The inside covers were bone white.

The first three Conan issues. The famous green background ‘bat-girl’ issue. Two classic St. John covers. A 1931 issue by an artist unknown to me. Another great Brundage cover. And two I didn’t see.

The common denominator seems to be Robert E.Howard, so whomever cherry-picked these off the stands nearly 9 decades ago had excellent taste. 

I am mainly a comic guy - pulps are secondary to me - but the issues I saw were truly astounding. I don’t think any cellphone pic could do them justice. They were priced very aggressively (from what I know) but had no trouble moving. Duh.

Well, I just HAD to have one...

 

[RedFury]

Nice looking copy!  And one of Howard's best stories, Worms of the Earth, is in there.

Thanks Todd! The classic St. John cover, and part 1 of BoV, also attracted me.

I’ll vouch for that. They were REAL nice. The buyer of the “Bat Girl” issue showed it to me.  Nicest copy of that one I’ve ever seen...

Happy birthday Henry Kuttner (born April 7, 1915), one of the most underrated sci-fi and fantasy pulp writers.  Here's a few Kuttner items from my collection.
