Card people have been manipulating since time immemorial. I've read of measuring card thickness to evaluate for pressing.

Battlefield from Atlas is great, 11 issues and packed full of great material/covers. There's a collected volume. Battlefront is another that is pretty great from start to finish, but a bit longer. It catches the early stuff and the later stuff when Sinnott, Severin, etc., were at their finest. If you want the full spectrum, Battle starts in the early 50s and then ends with Kirby/Ditko pre-hero Marvel stuff. It's got everything from Atlas, but the later 50s stuff isn't as high-yield. Outside of Atlas the EC war stuff is pretty good, it's a little more uniform IMO, so getting a few representative issues makes more sense to me than completing a run. The same applies to Farrell, although the shorter runs make completing them easier, but they all kinda blend together. Exciting War from Standard is a favorite of mine, and Battlefront from Standard is only one issue that's great from cover to cover so that makes an easy run to complete. There's one coming up on HA (https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/war/battlefront-5-standard-1952-condition-fn-/p/122421-33001.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515). Foxhole is 5 issues, but they're all now 4 figures in rough shape. IMO, Atlas stands out above the rest in terms of quality.

You're a role model for us all.

So you have a fetish about bondage with giant purple and green women. Got it. Nothing wrong with that.

What I love about this cover is that the Lone Ranger's face is represented somewhat accurately for someone in a struggle. Modern artists like Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld (I know they're older, but still very popular) can't draw a face without gritting teeth, clenching, or an open faced yell. When you're in a fight, that's often not the case. I suppose they justify it by calling it "dynamic", but the tension in this cover is more palpable.

Happy to complete this little mini-set.

Sigh, I'll take this one

The Battle 63 should be gone at that price. Killer Ditko in that one. Battle 65 is my personal favorite of the Kirby covers. Sinnott's art in those issues is top notch. And of course you have one of the few Gunsmoke Westerns I already have

Seconding zzutak, that's irreparable.

Here's a Catechetical Guild book that isn't illustrated, but fits well with the others.
