I received comic book catalogs from a few book stores and the ones from Passaic Books in New Jersey were the most interesting. They had lots of the comics I liked the most: Marvels, pre-Marvels, ECs, and also Warren Publishing monster magazines which I also collected.

Passaic Books catalog	Passaic Books staff Does anybody know who the "Super-Owner" was?	Marvel Comics Price List	Pre-Marvel Comics Price List Not many dealers had a catalog with this many pre-Marvel sci-fi/fantasy books listed. This is one of two pages.
E.C. Comics Price List After Marvels and pre-Marvels, ECs are my favorite comic books. I don't remember if I ever bought any from Passaic Books.	Monster Magazine Price List Lots of Warren Publishing and Charlton monster magazines, including the rare and expensive Famous Monsters Of Film Land #1.	Science Fiction Pulps Price List Includes Marvel Stories April 1941 which the annotation says is "Jack Kirby's first work." I had no interest in pulp magazines in the early 1970s but I've developed an appreciation for them over the last several years and sold a few of them on ebay.	Edgar Rice Burroughs Hardcover Book Price List I have lots of Edgar Rice Burroughs paperbacks but I never found any hardcovers.
Ad for Overstreet Price Guide Ad asking $5.00 for the new comic book price guide put out by obscure, un-named collector in Tennessee, Robert Overstreet.	Marvel Reprint of Fantastic Four #1 with 33 rpm record These Marvel reprints exactly reproduced the book except for the ads. They are hard to tell from the originals and sometimes cause confusion among novice collectors. Today they are a bit more pricey than the $6 noted here.	Credit of $34.50 It was common not to get your entire order filled. Some dealers issued a refund check and others, like Passaic, gave you a credit slip to apply to future orders. This is the only record I have of trying to buy back issues of Turok Son Of Stone comics. It also shows my interest in trying to get comics with Jack Kirby art like The Rawhide Kid, Boy Commandoes and Black Magic.
