Marines in Battle #9 goes to Jayman! Thank you! 

 SOLD! Marines in Battle #17 in VFNM. No comps, two on census. 8.5 at the top.

$400

 SOLD! Marines in Battle #9 in VF range, leaning the better side. Though tanning a little more apparent with that white cover. A 5.5 in 2021 sold for $89 on HA. Two on census, 6.5 is tops.

$300

 Marines in Battle #8! Thank you again Nate! 

 SOLD! Marines in Battle #8 — they went FVF here too, but here I’d disagree the other way and say VF-.  No comps, three on census, 9.0 tops it.

$300

It’s that lower left corner. 

Marines in Battle #7 in FVF. A 5.5 went $156 in 2021 on HA. Census has two; 8.5 is tops.

$250

Ok, seven issues of Marines in Battle will take us through the night’s action…

I’ve refreshed two devices and time stamps say @gunsmokin by a hair over @buttock. Congrats Jim; sorry Dan!

 Marines in Action #13 goes to Gunsmokin! 

 SOLD! Marines in Action #13 with VFNM structure, light cover tanning inside. Two on census, 7.5 at tops. This one should smoke a 7.5. No comps to be found.

$400

Slight price and grade drop just now FYI on Marines in Action #7 as I feel the subtle flaws are not that well-captured in the pics despite my efforts.

 Marines at War #7 goes to Azkaban! Thanks Dwayne! 

Marines in Action #7 in VF range. I’m going to disagree with their grade here and say it’s more VF- structure with even tanning inside covers (lightly creamy). No comps, two on census. 6.0 is tops.  $250

 SOLD! Marines at War #7 in VG/FN. Brought down to that neighborhood by that lower right long color-breaking crease. Four on census, top not that much better at 7.5.

$60

OK, who's ready for 10 more sweet Atlas war books?

Well …you are doing a heck of a job . Really. And bringing all sorts of old time boardies out of the woodwork, to boot.

I went “backwards” with learning about Sinnott. First “big” signed book I ever bought was FF5, signed by him. To this day, I still think the best FF art is Sinnott inks on Kirby pencils. It was only later I started reading his Atlas stuff.

Thank you. My journey was similar, except I've never had the brains to pull the trigger on an FF#5. I probably read some of his Atlas stuff in those 70's reprint titles Marvel did without realizing it was him. 

Sheer blinding brilliance to create this thread! Bravo and thank you! 

 Gunsmoke Western #40 has been claimed privately via PM! Thank you Mysterious Stranger!

Heh heh - was attempting sarcasm (fail), but this is way better. Gorgeous 

Nah, you nailed the sarc alright, it just also prompted me! Joe was a great guy and I’m happy to have a part in keeping his legacy out there in the hobby’s eyes.

Okay, that’s it for tonight. 10 Marines books tomorrow night, and a couple stragglers on Wednesday evening.

Thank you everyone for the takes and festivities!

War #33 in FN-  Looks FVF or better from front but I don’t like the top staple tears and small spine flaws. Nine on census with a 7.5 at top. HA sold a raw VF- for $300 this year.

$150
