Pre-code continues to roll right on. I consigned my undercopy of Mag is Haunted 16 and knew it would do well, but was not expecting 20x+ guide.

Was also happy with my WT 24 result.

It's incredible to me that 1950's horror is legitimately outpacing many/most traditional 30's/40's golden age books value-wise.

It has been a mind blowing shock to me. When I sold my pre code horror comics about 6 years ago when my marriage was falling apart, I never thought that even most low grades would be out of my price range. Hopefully at least the beaters will come back down to earth.

Hey Matt. 

A lot has changed in 6 years. I kept almost all of my horror, but I did sell quite a few midgrades (like several Cole Blue Bolts) in the hope that I would soon find better copies. Those have yet to materialize, and if they do, they will be well outside what I want to spend.

Ugh, yeah the coles. Sorry they aren’t turning up. I am going to have to be happy with my l.b. Cole black light fantagraphics book 😂

I wonder who ended up with my fvf startling terror 11 “black” copy

I think Matthew drew some zany characters into some of the interior panels of his copy. Better go look for those too.

Either way, that is a killer copy!

Nice lineup of artists in this issue according to the label. First time I’ve noticed word balloons in the side vignettes too.
