NFS - Just popping it in here so this thread is also a repository of Joe’s file copies. Archie’s TV Laugh-Out #10. The cover struck me because it’s odd to see B&V, Sabrina and Josie and Melanie all together.

SOLD! Pep #279 Mile High-graded VG. Another collaboration with Al Hartley. One Sinnott sig. $10

Pep #268 Mile High-graded Good. Women’s lib cover. One Joe sig, an Al Hartley story. $10

Pep #259 Mile High gave it a Good; cover detached. One Joe sig, inking over Al Hartley here. REMOVED

Laugh #269! Thank you again Ryan!

Pausing here tonight; more to come.

SOLD! Laugh #270, another Mile High VG. This one’s cool — note on the back to Joe and his son Mark, from “DR”? Noting that one panel from page one (Joe’s story) also appears on the Letters page and is in every Archie title that month. One sig, Joe inking Al Hartley again. $15

SOLD! Laugh #269, a Mile High grade of VG. One sig, Joe inking Al Hartley here. $10

Madhouse Glads #89 not sure where he bought this one but it’s graded a Poor for a couple pages torn out and inserted. I think it is complete but not certain. One Joe sig., a story with Stan Goldberg. $5

JF! Welcome! Like I have any clue where I am!

SOLD! Madhouse Glads #80, given FN by Mile High, which I think is a little generous, but it’s definitely a cut above their VGs. Great cover, one Sinnott sig, a Jon D’Agostino story. $15

Ok, it’s morning in Riverdale….

Guilty as charged….my day blew up sooner than expected….I’m going to try to do some soon as the house settles down and before I need to get some sleep. I figure it’ll be morning somewhere within the next couple hours.

If your expectations are modest, I’d think those you want to sell will still move. It seems like you mostly still have readability and presentation. A lot of folks can live with that if it’s cheap.

Missed the early post-code book; if that’s as new as they get, my assessment still stands. They’ll fly as affordable readers once you’re done with your non-keepers.

This was my first thought too, though I’ve never seen return books where back covers were used. Usually it’s logos. Returns also wouldn’t necessarily explain the last page, unless maybe the guy doing the returns was careless? We have as many surviving returns copies as we do because some retailers sent the tears in for return credit but then kept and sold the torn copies anyway, usually at a discount or in bulk to someone else. Whatever the origin, which would be interesting to know, they are Poor/0.5 incomplete books. That said, if they’re all like that one (GA/pre-code with full front covers) I’d enjoy the heck out of them and then sell any non-keepers. They are affordable, presentable readable GA, which should fly out of here or any other venue, I’d think.
