Y’know, I’d have been fine living my whole life without the term “male tail lights cover” in my head.

I have Bob to thank for turning me on to underground comics. Bob taught me how to pronounce Alex Toth's name (rhymes with "both"). Bob gave me my first lesson on EC history. Bob had us out to his place in Fremont, Nebraska just to see a complete GA Superman and Action collection.
And one time, Bob was set up at a comic show, alone as usual. He was, at that time, apparently under the misimpression that I worked for Dean Phillips at Krypton Comics. He needed to smoke and pee, so he grabbed my arm, dragged me to his booth, and told me to watch it. If memory serves, I even sold a cheap book for him. When Bob got back, he immediately accused me of either allowing a comic to be stolen, or stealing it myself. When I was finally allowed to explain that I did not work for Dean, the entire matter was dropped. I assure you, nothing of any consequence was stolen on my watch. I related the story to Dean, and he was not surprised. Apparently, Bob liked to use that tactic to mitigate debt he had with Dean.
There is good and bad to all of us, but there is no doubt that my life is a little better for having known Bob Beerbohm.

Bob was certainly colorful, and I could share anecdotes both good and bad about him. I choose to accentuate the positive. He was a big presence during my main collecting years; I was always running into him. I even made a few runs out to Fremont to shop his stuff or see some noteworthy collections. No matter how good the books were, he had a better supply of stories.
We have lost something irreplaceable in his passing.

Hopefully there will be a super-inclusive specimen for my budget.
I would need a first page signature, of course. ( get that bc provenance, y’know ) -

That is what they should put on The Sphere in Las Vegas.
I can't imagine any downside at all.

I would make two separate threads, bronze and silver. I don't check mixed very often, either.
I would consider selling as lots. I hate paying $7 shipping for a $9 comic. Definitely include bulk shipping rates! You want buyers claiming stacks of books. I usually will work with people on shipping.

That’s a whole slabful of funny book you got there.

I just read back to the start of 2024. Saw some beautiful raw and graded books that make my beater readers look even worse by comparison:
#7 - Earliest issue in my collection
#26 - It only took 20+ years to get a copy of this issue to go with my #25
#49 and #52 - 'Nuff said
If it makes you feel any better, I consider raw, reading copies of Kirby Fantastic Fours to be the most entertaining (and thus, intrinsically valuable) comic books in all existence.

Did you already own this AE or did I just score a convert?
Already had it: but if I didn’t know it existed, you’d have converted me.
Does that count? -

I always thought Ford got their idea for their 50's TBirds from the mother ship on this Wally Wood cover.
I get you. I’ve referred to it as a Space Studebaker.

Thankfully, it's both a DC and a reprint so it isn't like there is much demand for it.

Yes he was.
In my view, the single most impactful creator ever to work in the medium. His contributions are without equal.
