PulpFest will bid for our online bidders during the auction. We will continue bidding for each online bidder up to the amount of the person’s bid. If no bid placed by the audience at the live auction is higher than the final online bid, the lot will be won by the online bidder.
To place your online bids, click the red “online bid form” button above our auction lot photographs. This button will be turned off at 10 pm Eastern time, August 5, 2025.
Online bidders will be asked to provide contact information, payment method, and their final bids for each auction lot. You can submit bids for multiple lots on the same form by clicking the “+” button on our online bidding page. All information submitted will be kept confidential.
Online bids that are less than $10 will not be accepted. The deadline to place online bids is 10 pm Eastern on Tuesday, August 5. Afterwards, the PulpFest Auction Online Bidding Page will be shut down.
PulpFest will accept checks or money orders (in U.S. dollars), PayPal, or credit card payments for items won through silent bidding. A 5% fee will be charged for all credit card or PayPal transactions. There will be additional shipping charges for those who cannot pick up the lots they have won. In-person pick-up must be completed by 11 am on Sunday, August 10.
Happy bidding!
Our featured image is excerpted from Rafael DeSoto’s cover art for the January 1934 issue of Standard’s The Phantom Detective. Our auctioneers — John Gunnison and Joe Saine — are much livelier than DeSoto’s.
Our lead image is the September 1928 issue of Weird Tales, featuring cover art by C. C. Senff. It’s excerpted from our 2025 online photo catalog, lot number 75.5.
The two Shadow pulps are from December 1 and December 15, 1938, both with cover art by George Rozen. Our image is excerpted from our 2025 online photo catalog, lot number 49.
