Here's some fun ones for you all.

I bought a large collection last year; part original owner, part he bought second hand.  He started collecting in the late 1950's so from there up all original, before then he bought from various sources.  The Collection originated from Ohio.

These first two books the markings looked very familiar to me.  I asked a couple friends and they agreed; they looked like Ohio Copies.  I had them graded, CGC agreed.

 

 

@Comics-n-ERB these certainly are similar to the Ohio Pedigree markings that CGC has shared.  Given you found these Books in Ohio I would say they probably are...

nice subby offered; undergraded-looking, imo.  further, in my experience, white pages designation on these 50's atlas books is seldom seen.

i'll entertain reasonable counters here, but the first take on the thread beats any p.m. chatting.   $20 s/h domestic, we'll have to figure out a border-crossing.   return ok, but let me know w/in 3 days of delivery.  p.p., check or m.o. fine.  

$750 for this great subby.

Let’s do this Billy! Purdy Purdy Subby. Got a fun stable of frogs 🐸 this needs to party with.

Well, what do we think...  did someone get a steal, or did someone get the shaft?  LINK

Hard to tell, but with the foxing/discoloration on a smaller sized book like there there is no way it is NM by CGC/CBCS standards...

Ok, Schomburg hive-mind. 
 

I only recently obtained and read Chroma, and it contains information that I question. The book was authored by Jon Gustafson, someone I never had the fortune to know. And now that he’s passed away, I can’t ask him. 
 

his book contains a claim that relates to Schomburg’s depictions of real life battle locations(I.e. think Brenner Pass in Cap 33, etc). Gustafson says that the release of Schomburg’s cover to MMC 47 had to delayed because it unwittingly let the cat out of the bag in advance of a planned US attack. This is what I find hard to believe, and am seeking knowledge here.

it’s true that MMC 47 does depict a US attack on a real life German target, and it’s also true the US military did attack this dam. But how on earth would an as-yet-unpublished cover from a comic artist ever have come to the attention of the US military? Conversely, how on earth would a comic artist stumble upon the knowledge - in advance of publication- that his fictional attack was “not so fictional” and could actually jeopardize a planned mission?

I would ordinarily dismiss this as bull carp, and yet I doubt Gustafson just pulled this claim out of thin air. I find it more likely that Schomburg drew his cover after the US attack was made public 

what think you?

It is also possible that it was pure coincidence.

Schomburg illustrated a real location where war was taking place and it so happened to be a strategic forthcoming assault point. 
 

Thanks for sharing the info, it is interesting.

I have to confess, I was making a mental spreadsheet of "how much can I get?" and "how fast can I get rid of it?".

I feel yah. Except I was calculating how many organs… I stopped at any below the equator.
