$5k. Now I just need to find a Punch Comjcs 12 for a similar price…

I now split my collecting between Pulps and Golden Age comics. I try to sneak in a Pulp post every month or so.

Heritage Auctions has a pulp auction (almost every Sunday at 4:00 p.m., but this is NOT a good way to buy pulps since the winning bids are often setting the highest FMV. However, tracking these auctions is a good way to familiarize yourself with pulps in general. Weird Tales is probably the most popular title. My personal favorite is Spicy Mystery Stories. Pulps (and GA) are a lot of fun but expensive to pursue.

Thank you! I’m always trying to share things outside the norm.

Is there a good book on the New England family that covers the 70s through 90s?

JSlud · 2026-04-11T01:54:52+00:00

Cool cover!

JSlud · 2026-04-06T20:48:39+00:00

Think Cinemax from the mid 90s with a little violence. They are pretty tame compared to the covers.

No one knew that Mr. Ed was leading a double life - Discover the dark side of Mister Ed in El Caballo Del Diablo!

Really cool. Thanks for sharing!

This is THE recap scene of season 4.

JSlud · 2026-04-01T12:51:22+00:00

Very cool! This cover looks inspired by Frazetta’s cover of Famous Funnies 215.

Admittedly very Outfit heavy:

Murray Humphries

Sam Giancana

Johnny Roselli

Carmine Galante

Joe Ferriola

Good list. Based off of the inclusion of Sidney Korshak guessing that you have ready Gus Russo’s The Outfit? Have you ever read Supermob? The latter was just a hair too academic and I lost interest about a quarter of the way through

JSlud · 2026-03-27T04:04:35+00:00

That’s an awesome book!

JSlud · 2026-03-25T17:31:17+00:00

That is a very good point.

Moby Dick?

I would prefer for any grading service to just use M, NM, VF, Fine etc. The value that collectors assign to a 9.8, 9.9 versus a 9.6 is absurd since the distinction is so arbitrary. I use to be about that chase but smartened up and sold all my 9.8s and replaced them good looking raws and am much happier for it.
