That is true. But I was first on the load. Just didn't know any better. It was early on in my collecting career and funds were limited. So I grabbed the ones I wanted the most without a whole of thought to the ones I didn't. Believe me, I went home happy. Here are some of the ones I got.

Finding books like this is at a fin is a major score, even back then as has been suggested. Some really classic pulps here. (thumbsu

An old collector explained to me once, something to this effect: a storeowner who buys a suit for $20 and sells it for a $100 when the next guy through the door might've paid $120 is a sorry lot indeed if he focuses on the $20 he thinks he lost rather than the $80 he just made.  :preach:

A recent purchase. I need to get a bookshelf that properly displays these. Comic boxes just don’t feel right.

Oh, I’m not complaining. I was over the moon to get these with first pick. I probably got 20-25. Best pulp load I’ve ever seen in the wild.

Yeah, they're outstanding. The only pulps I see with any frequency these days are Railroad Stories. I don't even see Ranch Romances anymore. I found a really nice Spider a few years ago, asked how much, and the guy told me $50.  :/

Thing is, it was in nice enough shape I still bought it.  It would've been a nicer pill to swallow at five bucks, of course. :whistle:
