Although PulpFest is well known for its excellent programming — and rightfully so . . . click the “programming for 2017” button below the banner on our home page to see all of the great programming we have lined up for 2017 — it is also lauded for its very substantial dealers’ room.
Beginning on Thursday, July 27, the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry — just north of Pennsylvania’s “Steel City” — will be home to thousands of collectible pulp magazines and digests, vintage paperbacks, first edition hardcovers and series books, original art, B-movies and serials, collectible comic books, and more. And remember, for those members staying at the DoubleTree, you’ll be able to partake in free, early-bird shopping on Thursday evening from 6 to 9 PM. For those staying elsewhere, early-bird shopping privileges will cost $30 more.
In addition to Thursday’s early-bird hours, the PulpFest dealers’ room will be open from 10 AM to 4:45 PM on July 28 & 29 and from 9 AM to 2 PM on Sunday, July 30. Note that buying and selling opportunities on Sunday may be limited as dealers pack up for their trip home.
Starting on Monday, July 10, we’ll be profiling our PulpFest 2017 dealers. In the meantime, please refer to the list below to see if your favorite seller is expected to exhibit at this year’s convention. Please remember that some dealers have yet to register for PulpFest 2017:
