SOLD! Navy Combat #6 in VF or better. Four on census topped by a 9.0. $250

FYI I am not holding back any Navy Action. Most of that short run was grabbed before I got to them. I’m not the only person getting a shot at these from the family friend, but you could count us on one hand. I saw a pic of the Astonishing #30, which changed hands privately around time of the auction of the Bethlehem copy. It was at least breathing down the Bethlehem’s neck.

SOLD! Navy Combat #3 in VF. Two on census, 8.0 tops. $250

Navy Combat #2! Thanks again Asif!

@JollyComics I have not tried submitting any. I am aware from the family friend who sold them to me that cgc is aware of the books as the family discussed submission, but they ultimately decided not to make a big splash at an auction and instead prefer to get them raw into collectors’ hands.

SOLD! Navy Combat #2 FVF to VF. Just a coupla 6.0’s on census. $250

Navy Action #9! Thanks Jim and welcome to the thread!

SOLD! Navy Action #9 note upper left corner ding, lower left back corner, and a couple crimps along top overhang, but I think it is still in VFNM range. A lone 6.5 on the census. $300

Thank you, so true! These were all copies he got from the newsstand run by the Atlas office, so he got to pluck them himself.

SOLD! Kid Colt Outlaw #85 in VFNM range. Four on census topped by an 8.0. $250

Kid Colt Outlaw #83 in VF or better. Three on census, topped by a pair of 8.5’s. $200

Two Kid Colts, then it’s war…

Gunsmoke Western #70 in FN. Note edge chipping. More plentiful here, with seven on census topped by 9.0. $100

Gunsmoke Western #52 in VF or better. Just a lone 4.0 on the census. $250

SOLD! Gunsmoke Western #40. VF or better. Two on census, including a 9.4 so this one, while sweet, is doubtful a topper in my opinion. $200

A word about noting census populations on these books — like many, I often take those citations with a grain of salt as we know there are many long-timers with ungraded books in black hole collections. That said, I would suspect if the census is at all directional as to extant copies, it’s with high-grade Atlas genre books, even moreso than 1940’s mega keys. Of course, many of you have been at it even longer than I have and have your own well-formed, informed opinions. But I think it’s at least directionally legitimate to note census population in this thread.

Western Outlaws #21 in VF or better. A lone 7.5 on the census. $250

SOLD! Western Outlaws #9 VF structure with same tanning to that white left edge. Census ghost, no comps out there. $250

Wyatt Earp #23 FVF or better. The little cracks at the top overhang hold it back. $200

Western Kid #12! Thanks again MusterMark!

Fixed, thank you!

SOLD! Western Kid #12 in the NM range. There is a lone 6.0 on the census. $300

Sorry @Azkaban but @MusterMark was quicker on the trigger on that WW #55.

Wild Western #36 goes to Jayman! Thank you!

Wild Western #55! Thank you Asif!
