Consigning Material to the PulpFest 2026 Auction

Do you have a piece of art or a pulp collection you want to sell? Wouldn’t it be nice to see your collection stay with people who appreciate what you or your departed loved one has enjoyed? Why not have PulpFest sell it through our annual auction? This year’s PulpFest Auction is scheduled for August 1.

PulpFest welcomes large and small collections, from a single item to thousands of books, pulps, comics, digests, fanzines, and related collectibles. If you’re ready to sell that collection, consider using the PulpFest auction. You don’t have to be a member of the convention to participate. If what you have is somehow related to the pulp magazines of the early twentieth century and related pop culture collectibles, we’re interested!

Although we will accept any submissions up through the day of the 2026 PulpFest auction, you are encouraged to submit your lots before the start of the convention. This will allow PulpFest to list your lots — including photographs and descriptions — on our online auction page. Online bids will be accepted for all lots that have been submitted by 11:59 pm on Sunday, July 5, 2026. Any material submitted after that date will not be added to the online bidding page.

Of course, all PulpFest 2026 members can also submit items to our auction. We will accept materials up through noon on the day of the auction. But the sooner you can get your items to us, the better. Auction lots listed online often receive higher bids than those lots listed at the last minute. Again, the deadline to submit auction items for online display is July 5.

The Ground Rules

All auction lots must have a value of $20 or more. The convention will charge a 16% commission based on the selling price for anything sold in the auction. For example, if an item sells for $100, the seller will receive $84.

To minimize the submission of what most people term “junk” to our auction, PulpFest will charge $5 for those auction lots that receive no bids.

PulpFest reserves the right to reject any material that does not meet our standards. Sexually explicit material — including Playboy, Penthouse, and Oui — cannot be submitted to the auction.

If you’re interested or have further questions, please write to PulpFest auction coordinator, Mike Chomko, at mike@pulpfest.com or 2217 W. Fairview Street, Allentown, PA 18104 for further information about placing material in the next PulpFest auction.

How to Place Online Bids in the PulpFest 2026 Auction

For those unable to attend PulpFest 2026 or attendees who wish to bid anonymously, the convention will accept bids placed through the “online bid form” found in our photographic catalog. The bid that you submit will be your final bid for the lot.

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 final 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 button immediately above the auction lot photographs found below. Our online bidding form will open in a new tab.

When placing your bid, you will need to provide your name, email address, mailing address, and billing address (if different), your method of payment, the lot you are bidding on, and your bid amount. A separate form must be filled out for each bid.

Online bids of $10 or more can be placed on every auction lot in our photo catalog. The deadline to place online bids is 9 pm Eastern on Tuesday, July 28. After that time, the “online bid form” will be shut down.

Online bids on all available lots that are less than $10 will not be accepted. Please note that PulpFest does not charge a buyer’s premium.

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.

The Fine Print

The items in each lot have been graded by eyeball only. We have attempted to note both exceptional pieces and substantial defects, but are not responsible for anything that may have been missed. If you will be attending PulpFest, you are responsible for looking at the lots on which you plan to bid. It is up to the bidder to decide on each item’s condition.

We will have preview sessions on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday afternoons, as well as one more, immediately preceding the auction on Saturday evening, August 1.

PulpFest reserves the right to withdraw any auction lot at any time prior to its being sold at auction. All bidders are encouraged to review the lots before placing bids. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

If you have any questions or concerns about participating in the auction, please contact PulpFest auction coordinator Mike Chomko at mike@pulpfest.com or by regular mail at 2217 W. Fairview Street, Allentown, PA 18104-6542. Please enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope for his response.e
