Sigh, I'll take this one

Battle #31! Thanks again Dan! 

@comicnoir Ron please note that is some sort of smudge atop the Spellbound, not a blurry pic. If you did not realize, OK to pass. I did account for it in giving it the grade.

 Spellbound #9! Thanks Ron! 

Astonishing #11 they have it at VGFN. I’m more VG + as cover has some light soiling. Again, not a comp book.

21 on census, line 8.5 atop.

$300

 SOLD! Spellbound #9 in VG/VG+ Note lower right corner piece of cover missing.

11 on census. Two at 8.0.

$300

Battle #33! Thanks Alan! 

Last two…Joe’s PCH work, which I only got a bit of offered to me thus far. We don’t think either is a comp book. They seem to be back issues he acquired.

I should have added — the Battle #31 and #33 are both definitely comp copies.

 SOLD! Battle #33 again, they went FVF. I feel better saying VF- here. Only two on census, and both are comps: 5.5 slightly brittle sold for $204 in 2023; 8.5 (which I think used to be an 8.0) sold $1320 in March. This is between the two. I doubt it catches the 8.5.

$400

Check that - 18 boardies

Thank you, everyone! 

 SOLD! Battle #31 — now I remember why this was in my possible keeper pile. Russ Heath cover for Atlas, and I thought they were somewhat undergraded at FVF. On second glance, they may be right, but VF minus also possible I think.

A VG just sold on eBay for $48.87. 
11 on census, 8.5 at top.

$200

Battle #27 they’ve got this in VGFN. I’d go FN-  Very high gloss, some wear at spine near top staple. We lean toward thinking this one is a comp copy but not 100% certain. It’s awful nice to have sat in a dealer box for years. More likely a comp with that gloss. Joe was plucking his comps from a wire rack; I’m surprised there’s not more like this in my sample.

Seven on census, 8.0 is tops.

$200

Three pre-code war, two PCH, we’re wrapped in five more….

 Rawhide Kid (#28) slaps leather with Gunsmokin! Thanks Jim! 

 SOLD! Rawhide Kid #28 maybe VG, tops. Another he filled in as a back issue, opposed to got as a comp. $40

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

He noted “pencils” on a lot of the Charltons, where Vinny Colletta inked everything Joe did as art director of that shoestring operation.

Ok, first one is not a comp copy, but obtained as a back issue by Joe and/or his son to fill out their archive of his work. It was also offered in the thread to help with Jimbo’s stroke recovery costs and went untaken, so it will be offered for Jimbo here.

Kid Colt #90 GVG at best. But two Sinnott sigs.

$50 to JimJum12’s PayPal, and you get this added to your stack, and your stack ships for free.

Ok, last seven. Might be a little slower between each, more diversity and less preparedness.

And one with books to post!

Back from ice cream I didn’t need! Gimme maybe 15 minutes for a few pix not yet shot.

James Jean pencil cover to Fables 72. I HATE getting rid of this one but need to make mortgage. This will surely sell for substantially more than I'm asking. James Jean art is in a high demand and some doodles are selling for $6k. The cover drawing is 1:1 for the book. I'll send you my personal copy of Fables 72 also. 

Both for $5500.

Price reduction: $5200

 per PM! Thanks James!

Ok gang, I did get back from work late tonight, and the kids want ice cream. I just finished dinner. Figure those final seven probably about 10ish Eastern tonight, just a little later than the other nights. I do have to shoot a couple pix, too.

Why you, or I, (or anyone) should find it necessary to defend or justify this transaction is utterly nonsensical.  The thread was up for days, and multiple people made multiple purchases.  The recap post was up for 10 hours before I sent the PM.  But honestly, what difference does that even make?  If I had seen the thread sooner, my stack may have been even higher!  Do I have to ask permission from the lurkers in order to buy a book on a forum for buying/selling books?  Or you apologize for selling them?  What Bizarro World is this?

All good, Alan. We lose so much in online communication without vocal intonation and facial/body expression. I’ve had fine exchanges/board deals with Rob and I just take it as a straight question. It’s all good, everyone.
