 SOLD! Battle #64 in VF. This starts off stretch of Kirby/Christopher Rule covers that I love. They have that Challengers of the Unknown style, IMO. Sinnott pencils/inks on the last story in this ish. Eight on census, 8.5 is tops.  $300

 SOLD via PM! Battle #63 in VF. I’d go even higher if not for slight nicks upper left. Great Carl Burgos cover. Sinnott pencils and inks the first story in this issue.  Ten on census with tops at 9.4. A 7.5 went $288 on HA in 2023.

$300

Ok, here we go….four consecutive later issues of Battle. I was really on the bubble with these but I don’t want to hoard too many.

Starting shortly with four books that I nearly put in the keeper pile….

I'll take navy combat 3, 9, kid colt 85

 Navy Combat #3 and Kid Colt #85 go to Buttock! Thank you! Dan, did you by chance mean Navy Combat #7? Navy Combat #9 had already been taken by TheComicsPreacher; sorry.

Zero obligation at all, but just in case you typo’ed and meant Navy Combat #7 I’m parking it on hold with you having right of first refusal. Please just clarify at your convenience. 

Thanks again!

 Navy Combat #6 goes to Jayman! Thank you! 

 SOLD! Navy Combat #6 in VF or better. Four on census topped by a 9.0.  $250

FYI I am not holding back any Navy Action. Most of that short run was grabbed before I got to them. I’m not the only person getting a shot at these from the family friend, but you could count us on one hand.

I saw a pic of the Astonishing #30, which changed hands privately around time of the auction of the Bethlehem copy. It was at least breathing down the Bethlehem’s neck. 

 SOLD! Navy Combat #3 in VF. Two on census, 8.0 tops. $250

  Take

  Navy Combat #2! Thanks again Asif! 

@JollyComics I have not tried submitting any. I am aware from the family friend who sold them to me that cgc is aware of the books as the family discussed submission, but they ultimately decided not to make a big splash at an auction and instead prefer to get them raw into collectors’ hands.

 SOLD! Navy Combat #2 FVF to VF. Just a coupla 6.0’s on census.  $250

Take

 Navy Action #9! Thanks Jim and welcome to the thread! 

 SOLD! Navy Action #9 note upper left corner ding, lower left back corner, and a couple crimps along top overhang, but I think it is still in VFNM range. A lone 6.5 on the census. $300

Nice books, so often personal copies from artists collections are pretty beat.

Thank you, so true! These were all copies he got from the newsstand run by the Atlas office, so he got to pluck them himself.

 SOLD! Kid Colt Outlaw #85 in VFNM range. Four on census topped by an 8.0.  $250

Kid Colt Outlaw #83 in VF or better. Three on census, topped by a pair of 8.5’s. $200
