    Such a rich palette of great choices, and perspectives to argue from! But after reading four pages of thread from a diverse array of boardies all of whom I know are well-schooled on the topic of GA artists, I keep coming back to an influence camp consisting of Kirby/Barks/Eisner vs a draftsmanship camp of Fine, Crandall, Wood. There’s no one right answer, though I think that if you define the term of “greatest” as most influential, then that bucket is easiest to approach consensus on. Then again, Joe Sinnott once said to me that when he was at the Hogarth School, and early in his career, most of the guys looked up to Lou Fine for his draftsmanship. Joe doesn’t get us all the way to the roots of the Golden Age, but he goes pretty far back. And if you asked me favorites, like many others I’d also rattle off Schomburg, Baker, Frazetta, O’Mealia, Flessel, Everett, Raboy and I’ve probably left off many. Two very tangential thoughts: his run was even shorter than Baker’s, I believe, but Joe Maneely did some beautiful stuff. And I recently picked up a late-run issue of My Own Romance and paged through it to enjoy the Baker stories. After the last page of the first Baker story, when I flipped the page to the next story in the issue, I was blown away, and thought “Who the heck is this??” It was Al Williamson.

    There is a ratio between effort and return, and it sounds like you could use to maximize return. Most avenues involve shipping. If you pack well and get a smidge of postal luck, boards sales will involve little in the way of returns or shenanigans. Does half a short box cgc’ed mean approx 75 slabs? Short of doing a local show or two, I’m not sure how you avoid some form of shipping. I’d try to move the bulk of the lesser items first; maybe of you hit your number you can hold onto your biggest book(s). Best of luck!

    Ok, that’s it for those. I will do one last past to create a finale, then leave this open when starting a humdinger “You Might Find It!” thread over in GSB in a couple days, for those of you who wisely, shrewdly like to minimize our nemesis as collectors: shipping!

    Ok, that is everything shot so far, and all I had planned. I have one more short box to hem and haw over tonight, So I may add a few more. Either way, I’ll leave this open a bit. After I close, I’ll open a humdinger of a You Might Find It over in G/S/B; waiting til the end of that thread to settle up and combine shipping is totally fine, even if you wind up taking nothing in thread #2 over there. Stay tuned, I might find more later! Thanks!
