Thank you Andy! I completely forgot that from when I shot, which is when it happened. Mark has passed; I will revise grade down to VG range and price down to $100.

Marines in Battle #19 in VF or better. Six on census, 8.5 is tops. No comps out there. Pretty book, deep colors. $400

Marines in Battle #18. They had it at FN+. I think it’s a very attractive apparent FN but that said, cover detached during photo session so it’s a technical VG at best though it looks better. It’s a census ghost around here. HA sold a Voldy 5.5 in 2021 for $252. $100 to JimJum12’s stroke recovery fund via PayPal and receive this book tossed on your stack and free shipping for your entire pile.

Marines in Battle #17 goes to Buttock! Thanks Dan!

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?

TheComicsPreacher surrenders to the sultry allure of Battle #65! Thank you Nate!

OK, 10 more tonight but here's a quick rundown of the nine books still available in the thread: Page 1: Western Gunfighters #25 VF/VF+ $250 Wyatt Earp #23 FVF or better $200 Page 2: Western Outlaws #21 VF or better $250 Gunsmoke Western #52 VF or better $250 Gunsmoke Western #70 FN $100 Kid Colt Outlaw #83 VF or better $200 Page 5: Battle #63 VF $300 Page 6: Battle Ground #8 VF $350 Page 7: War #33 FN- $150

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!

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.
