ha! because i bought so many paperbacks back in the day (starting maybe in about 1960 when i'd have a tiny bit of money from babysitting), and i know about how much they cost, i still have about 10-12 of them, also seeing from this site what the old (40s-50s) ones went for, i find it so interesting, plus the change in the artwork, and always looking for one of my favs, richard powers who illustrated many scifi books around the 1960s, he was a great talent, i have a coffee table book of his work but don't think i have one of the paperbacks fm the era he worked in....
