  1. Brides in Love #20 — Fair; cover detached. None on census; five raw on eBay. $10
  2. Brides in Love #18 — Fair; cover barely hanging on at top staple. None on census. $10
  3. Conditions vary widely, but most of the books present nicely. Joe and his sons had them by title in numerical order in the box; I shot them in the same order. I’ll try to post 10 tonight to start.
  4. A word about the books: This thread will contain Joe Sinnott’s personal copies of all his Charlton romance work — 128 books in total, all with 1-3 stories per issue penciled by Joe and inked by Vince Colletta. Joe signed the margin of the first page of each story he drew, with the word “pencils” in parentheses next to his name in most cases. I will not be letting go of all of them, but my few keepers will also appear in the thread marked NFS so that all 128 are recorded here. In each case, I’ll provide front and back cover images, and images of each signature page. I did this with Joe’s complete Archie body of work as well when I brought those to the boards. I should add, most of these are census ghosts, though lower grade raw copies are in some cases available on eBay. Joe’s nicer copies are seldom-seen examples of Charlton romance in grade. My understanding is that some of these books were company comps to Joe, and some were purchased as back issues by Joe and his family so he would have a complete file of his work. I have bagged anything that was unbagged, and most of the unbagged books were of higher grade than the bagged ones. As we saw with the Archies, none of which were comps, Joe bought lower grade copies for his file. That seems to be the case here, as the bagged books were the lower grade ones. As a general rule, it is likely higher grade books in this thread were comps and lower grade ones Joe purchased himself to complete the set.
  5. 5 Simple Rules (Please, please read) 1st wins; tie/indeterminate goes to the thread. Payment is Check or Money Order (yeah, yeah I know I'm a dinosaur, troglodyte, luddite, mennonite, hermaphrodite etc. - I just don't have or want e-payments.) Shipping: Via USPS Priority Legal Flat Rate is $10, via USPS Medium Priority Box is $17. Don't be listy including the little one in my head. Returns: Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get it back to me in the same shape on your dime, except no returns on graded books. (Kudos thread linked under my avatar.)
  6. How about the first few Sinnott Charltons in a few minutes? (128 books is going to take several sessions in total).
  7. Beautiful pieces; congrats. That first one reminds me of Colan.
  8. Looks like just a common production issue from the way the machine handles the paper rolls. Should be no impact if it’s what it looks like.
  9. Cheapest cgc 3.5 Timely Cap on eBay right now is a #73 for $2,350. … $900 gets ya a .5 (incomplete) #41… Mike’s book is a steal here.
  10. The short box pictured contains Joe Sinnott’s personal copies of all his Charlton romance work — 128 books in total, all with 1-3 stories per issue penciled by Joe and inked by Vince Colletta. Joe signed the margin of the first page of each story he drew, with the word “pencils” in parentheses next to his name in most cases. I will announce a start date here soon but I have just begun shooting them. I’d like to start soon as I can. I will not be letting go of all of them, but my few keepers will also appear in the thread marked NFS so that all 128 are recorded here. In each case, I’ll provide front and back cover images, and images of each signature page. I did this with Joe’s complete Archie body of work as well when I brought those to the boards.

As a general rule, it is likely higher grade books in this thread were comps and lower grade ones Joe purchased himself to complete the set. I’ll attempt to tag here those I know would be interested in Charlton and/or romance; apologies if I missed tagging anyone, or tagged someone who is not interested. I’m happy and honored to be able to help disseminate these to my fellow collectors. @fett @southern cross @Ameri @electricprune @manetteska @Norrin's lawyer @buttock @Frisco Larson @comicjack @Toz @Roo_Phillip @SkOw @rdp collectibles @mustang33guy @lizards2 @gunsmokin @KCOComics @Ryan. @crassus @N e r V @Dr. Love @Ricksneatstuff @Comcav @Yorick @Jonathan78 @sagii @OtherEric @Crimebuster
