  1. Thanks Jack! Ticked the box nicely — affordable but nice-looking. Perfect for a purchase that amounts to “always liked that cover.”
  2. Confidential Diary #11 goes to Lizards2! Thank you and welcome to the thread, Mike!
  3. Getting late. Done for tonight. Next up are “I Love You” and “Just Married.”
  4. I shot these in the order they were in the box; Confidential Diary #14 and #15 (last two issues) appeared on page 1 of the thread. I should have put them in order but I forgot about the title change.
  5. With #12, the title changed to Confidential Diary. I am not holding out; Joe had no #12. I’m not sure if he wasn’t in that issue or never got hold of a copy. (GCD has uncredited pencils on two stories; could be him). This is the one with the sought-after Giordano cover, so it could be he never found an affordable copy.
  6. SOLD! High School Confidential Diary #11 — structurally at least VF- with light cover tanning inside. Lone graded copy is a 7.5; this guy is in the game. Beautiful book. $50
  7. High School Confidential Diary #10 VGFN to FN- structure with some inside cover tanning. 2x signed. $40
  8. High School Confidential Diary #9 in GD. Cover detached at lower staple. 2x signed. $15
  9. High School Confidential Diary #8 beautiful, glossy copy on the high side of FN/FN+. Three on census, topped by a 7.0. Inside cover tanning on this one probably the only thing holding it back from knocking it off. 2x signed. $50
  10. High School Confidential Diary #6 — I like it for at least a FN- despite some inside cover tanning. $40
  11. High School Confidential Diary #5 - nicer than the others but still solidly in VG bucket. 2x signed. $30
  12. High School Confidential Diary #4 VG on general wear. 2x signed. A run of the mill VG is $20 on eBay. $30
  13. High School Confidential Diary #3 VG with oil transfer on inside covers. 2x signed. $30
  14. High School Confidential Diary #2 in GD/GD+ on general wear. 4x signed! There’s a raw Good on eBay for $20. $30
  15. Paul Anka on the cover of that one reminds me…fun Joe Sinnott fact: he was a HUGE Bing Crosby fan. Joe even hosted a weekly Bing Crosby radio show on his local station.
  16. High School Confidential Diary #1 — probably lower end of VG. This is an odd one to price. There’s a decent looking raw VG range with staining on eBay for $35. Another raw VG sold there for $99.99. And the 8.5 highest graded (of the two on census) sold on HA in Feb 2023 for $94. Not a common book, I guess. Let’s put Joe’s 2x signed VG somewhere in the middle. $60
  17. I don’t think that’ll be the case, but I’m grateful to be able to have some of his books for my collection, and to be able to share a couple discrete, complete subsets of his work (Archie, Charlton) on the boards. I’m sure I’ll see a chance at some more material, but not years’ worth.
  18. Hi Dennis, Yes, to my knowledge he tried to keep a copy of everything. But I think the family still has all the Marvel books. I can double-check but that’s what I recall being told. If you mean you saw a signed FF 47, it’s most likely a copy he signed at a show.
