Popular Post originalisbest Posted January 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2021 Haunted Thrills #6 is such a great book. The prices realized recently confirm my feelings. MrBedrock, Larryw7, X_Phile and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

originalisbest Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I don't disagree, it's just the way it goes, that most all my now high-dollar books I bought long ago for much less. My Haunted Thrills #6 I paid $140 for at a small local con about 15 years ago. Similar on a far-smaller scale to old-time collectors who recall what they could have paid for an Action #1 in 1970. Not that a Haunted Thrills 6 is anywhere as important as an Action 1, but it's not valued as though it is either. Once upon a time it probably sold to someone for $10 or so.

originalisbest Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Same reasoning, BTW, why a Black Cat Mystery #50 is out of my reach these days. I had my chances at decent copies for $250 and then $500 -- oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hap Hazard Posted January 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2021 I'm not complaining, maybe a little, Prices on Pre-Code now is all relative. I've purchased most of my books 90% of the EC run and many Horror keys back in the 90's and early 2000's. I just personally wouldn't pay that money doesn't mean they aren't worth it. I purchased Blackcat Mystery at my first con in 1976 and yes it wasn't alot. lbcolefan, Drkegg, originalisbest and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Drkegg Posted January 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2021 Not sure how far back "recent" means but I got a lot of PCH books last year that I just want to show off. Here is another one I got around my birthday right around when Covid hit. End of times and hell cover seemed to be fitting at the time... originalisbest, fifties, Jayman and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
