Well, take a look at the amazing story illustrations featured inside. The two-page splashes are stunning - look for a Whitcomb in there especially. The covers were dogs, but the insides are full of great illos and ads. (thumbsu

Maybe I should of bought them all.

Here are some examples of story illos. The first one is a Whitcomb.

It was a couple weeks ago. If she thought I was crazy for buying this one what would she think if I showed up asking about the others two weeks later.lol

Fun but tiring....today worked 12+ hours on just separating...bulk, $2-5 comics, better comics, undergrounds, trades, hardbacks, toys, non-sports cards, magazines and original art.  Sooooo much stuff.  Still have around 80 short boxes to sort tomorrow.  Lots of cool stuff but lots of bulk too.  I don't think buying a collection like this would be for everyone.  

Here are a couple pics of the really cool stuff.... unfortunately most of the collection is not reflected in these pics.  The majority of items will be much lower value.....

Covid-19 has taken care of most shows unfortunately....but as of right now the Buckeye Con in Columbus on July 19th is still a go.  I will probably process some of the best stuff from this collection for it....but I already have more than enough ready for a great Buckeye show.  I just hope everyone in attendance uses their best judgment to be as safe as possible in these crazy times!

Picked this up at a garage sale for 1 dollar. It has some water damage but I couldn’t leave it behind. 1953 Ladies Home Journal.

In 1953, I imagine parents weren't saying nice things about comics.

This would be an interesting temperature check right before the Senate subcommittee hearings in '54.

Edit- upon closer inspection I see the author is Wertham.

I was able to spend several hours evaluating the collection so I had a good idea on most of the better items which was reflected in my offer.  And yeah....it was buy it all.  Happy my Ford Transit is heavy duty and can haul a ton of stuff....

Hey!  I always attend that show!  I hope it happens (fingers crossed) and hope I run into you!  I'll be the one wearing a mask...  :)

Not bad for a garage sale find tucked in a box of Archie's and magazines
