Lobbing a Hail Mary for a friend - he has covers to Top Notch #2, needs a coverless.

Doesn’t look like much of an effort to accomplish anything. Shot in the dark here — any of that same color on the edges anywhere? It IS a classic overspray color that does not at all match the color of the book. I wonder if it sat funny in a pile of newsstand returns and got barely sprayed, in the wrong spot? It’s such a lousy match that that almost seems more likely to me. Not that I’d want to take the risk of paying up for it then paying to sub it, but it’s the first thing that crossed my mind because the color is familiar and it’s such a mismatch.

Well, that’s all of them, representing the entirety of Joe Sinnott’s work for Archie Comics. I’ll leave this open a bit and will start a very random thread over in Mixed soon as I can. Those who want to maximize shipping can do so. If you’re done here and don’t want to wait, just let me know. Thanks everyone, and I hope you’ve enjoyed this historic retrospective and peek at how Joe Sinnott cataloged his personal copies of his published work.

Thanks Matt; when I was offered the chance to get them all, my first thought was I have to share these, and this place is the home of so many heartfelt, dedicated collectors. I saw the chance to do that and have an old school sales thread that gets some good conversation going within it and captures some more comics history within this great repository of comics knowledge that these boards are.

Well, I didn't stay a part of it in that way (as a comic con promoter), in that I only did a handful of cons as a kid because I wanted them in my smalltown area. I stopped when I went on to college and others filled the gap locally as the hobby grew everywhere. But I certainly watched and participated as a collector, as so many of us did.

Thank you for pointing this out. And I want to clarify for anyone seeing these, if it seems like suddenly I have a lot of Joe signed books, it is because his family has begun moving his collection, including his personal file copies, which he usually signed on the margin of the first page of each story he did in a given book. They are handling his OA themselves, but through an intermediary I have been given the chance to obtain some of his 50’s Atlas file copies (I did share a couple on here in sales threads but have kept most of the handful I have gotten) and his total Archie output file copies (45 books from 1969-1974). I HOPE to be able to attain a slightly larger but still smallish set of Joe file copies of total output for another publisher; if I am able, I will also share those here less some keepers, but I will record the entire output in a thread as a record of Joe’s file copies. I’ve posted this before, but I knew Joe since I was a high school kid in the 80’s. I had organized some local comic cons and Joe and other local artists (Herb Trimpe, Dan Green, the Pinis, Greg LaRocque) were our most regular local guests. In the 90’s, I had the chance to interview Joe a couple times, including for a profile for Comic Book Marketplace. We stayed in touch off and on over the years. I just wanted everyone to understand how this thread and other offerings came about, and I’m honored to be trusted to be part of their dissemination to fellow collectors.
