<B>Virgil Finlay - Famous Fantastic Mysteries Cover Original Art, dated 10-42 (Frank A. Munsey, 1942).</B></I> A scientist ponders the images of a man and a woman held in his two test tubes. Virgil Finlay's cover is rendered with the same attention to detail that he lavished on his renowned ink illustrations. Quite a bit of his painting was cropped out by type elements when it appeared on the printed cover. The image area of the art measures 10" x 14". There are a few light wrinkles on the surface of the board that do very little to detract from the enormous eye-appeal of this sensational cover; otherwise it is in Very Good condition. A Very Good copy of the pulp magazine is included in this lot. Don't miss your opportunity to bid on a true scarcity, a painted Virgil Finlay cover! <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
