Sigh, I'll take this one

 I wasn’t sure how many more minutes I could hold out myself on that one. That is one beautiful War cover

I love how he felt the need to clarify: “inks”. Very on brand

I don’t know why you’d think it’s snide or cynical. I sat on the pm, thought on it, got it a second opinion etc for the same reason.  After thinking it over and talking it over, I came to the conclusion that the thread was winding down and any potential homes had found their choices.
I had the thread up for days, multiple boardies have made small stacks with instant grabs, and I had done pm deals on a couple of the straggler books already.
In advance, I tagged lots of people in an announcement and stated no advance sales via PM to keep it fair. I could probably have sold every book via PM just from the announcement. I didn’t limit how many folks could take in the thread, and Blackmask’s take is about as many as I’ve kept for myself. And there’s seven more coming tonight, which will conclude the thread.

So I feel like I have made a strong effort to make them widely available on here at fair prices with everyone getting a shot. That was my thinking.

Actually - MAJOR edit: I'm staying out of this (for once).

You are going to have to carve out some MAJOR time for reading all these bad boys. Perhaps call it "The 2024 Goldie Challenge"

I have to agree this one is REALLY cool...somebody really ought to snag it.

Nah, you nailed the sarc alright, it just also prompted me! Joe was a great guy and I’m happy to have a part in keeping his legacy out there in the hobby’s eyes.

Well …you are doing a heck of a job . Really. And bringing all sorts of old time boardies out of the woodwork, to boot.

I went “backwards” with learning about Sinnott. First “big” signed book I ever bought was FF5, signed by him. To this day, I still think the best FF art is Sinnott inks on Kirby pencils. It was only later I started reading his Atlas stuff.

Joe never did Aquaman to my knowledge (though he lived about 20 minutes from Ramona Fradon) but he did a heckuva job on Namor. Yeah it’s Perlin pencils but that Namor just screams Sinnott.

Heh heh - was attempting sarcasm (fail), but this is way better. Gorgeous

It’s comics about underwater stuff.

Oh..darn. I thought we were about to see an exposition of the most bad-a$$$$ mofo’s on the planet…

this sounds more like Aquaman and mermaid territory

Okay, one more for tonight then I will wrap up the planned books tomorrow night with the various Marines titles still to come.

I will take one more hard look at my keepers before closing the thread, and I might have a small addendum the following night after keeper review, plus a couple other of Joe’s signed file books that are not as high-grade and likely came to him as back issues, not as Atlas office newsstand comps. But two of those are PCH books 

Marines you say???

So…fast.

you might’ve been right about that Comcav comment. Good lord…

Fantastic Four, Pocket 81445

Very nice indeed, except for that (this time minor) smack on the bottom edge. 

Asking $5

Amazing Spider-Man, Pocket 81443

Looks pretty good at first glance, but like an earlier book this one has been smacked HARD with something on the bottom edge. 
There were three in this batch, all with similar problems, this is the second-worst. 

FREE with the NEXT purchase of any sort, just claim it!

And I guess I claim

this one then?
