My EC collection is still in its early stages (almost all Ingels HOF covers until now), but I've just added several more courtesy of edowens71

Looks to me like you've turned your attention to Wally Wood. hm

Ingels -> Haunt of Fear

Wood -> Weird Science

Next up:

A non-ped, but it sure looks like one except for the strip of foxing down the spine:

FWIW, about 10 years ago, someone was selling a copy of this book that had foxing in the exact same place.  The book was raw and he had it graded as a 9.0.  Said it was a Bethlehem copy.  I think it had a date stamp on the back cover but I could be wrong.  Anyway, probably just a coincidence but thought I'd share anyway.

Interesting - I bought this as a VF/NM also (no stamp on the back, however).

Funny how CGC downgrades a killer copy like this because of the foxing strip, but will grade another book higher even though it has a dark ugly dust shadow strip.

I don't get it.

I could be wrong about the stamp.  At any rate, it's a great looking copy.  I wish I'd bought a copy back then before the run up on prices.  And agreed, I've always disliked dust shadows much more than a little bit of foxing.

Why is it so hard to find a CGC slabbed Three Dimensional Crypt Of Terror? And what should I expect or offer to pay?

They are scarce in census because the GFC copies weren't in as high a grade nor in as high a quantity as the rest of the issues. The highest I've seen was a 9.0. That makes them seem a lost scarcer than the rest of EC's output since most regular books had 12 GFC copies and range 9.4-9.8.

But I don't even see non GFC CGC graded copies.

It's under this listing/spelling in GPA:

3-D Tales From the Crypt of Terror (1954) 

(confusing, because for the first 3-D book, GPA spells out "Three Dimensional" in the listing)
