Weird Tales Jan 1945 CGC 2.5 Canadian POP 1 GGA Bondage Snake Monkey Cover Pulp For Sale

Item Description

Title:POP 1 CANADIAN EXCLUSIVE! | Weird Tales (Jan 1945) | CGC 2.5

You are offerding on an absolute unicorn in the Golden Age pulp collecting community: a professionally graded, incredibly scarce Canadian Edition of Weird Tales from January 1945! Published during the height of WWII, this variant is a blue-chip investment piece boasting a POP 1 census pedigree, a wildly unique exclusive cover, and immense historical value for serious pulp art collectors.

Why this Pulp is an Absolute Grail for Collectors:

• The \"POP 1\" Census Pedigree: In the vintage graded pulp market, this book is practically a ghost. According to the official CGC census, this is the ONLY graded copy in existence (POP 1), making it the highest and only graded copy on record.

• Canadian Edition Exclusive Cover: Due to the War Exchange Conservation Act during WWII, American pulps were banned from import into Canada, leading to unique Canadian printings. These editions are notoriously difficult to track down and are heavily hunted by completists because they often feature completely alternate cover artwork unique to the northern releases (often showcasing alternate works by artists like Boris Dolgov or Michael Labonski).

• Classic GGA Bondage Motif: This specific Canadian exclusive features an absolutely wild, quintessential Golden Age pulp cover: a striking \"Good Girl Art\" (GGA) bondage scene involving a massive snake and a monkey. Classic, high-concept GGA macabre covers from this period drive massive premiums on the secondary market.

• Slabbed Preservation: Given the extreme rarity of this Canadian printing and the fragile nature of 1940s wartime paper, having this copy professionally authenticated and encapsulated by CGC ensures its survival and cements its elite investment value.

Condition Details & Grading (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):

• CGC Grade: 2.5 (Good+).
