    I'll see if I have something scanned. In the meantime...

    I have RBCC issues from the 70s. There is more than one article lamenting the inability to collect like they used to.

    The content of these comics were all reprints of the syndicated Spirit stories that were the first eight pages of each Sunday insert section. https://www.comics.org/series/345/covers/ They included some of the finest stories produced in the GA. Luckily, for us they are available in reprints.

    Jack Farr. He drew quite a few incidental illustrations for DC comics in the 40s.

    My sincere condolences for your gain.

    Killer rogues gallery of great comic covers.

    I understand this to be from the early 70s that was a display for distributors.

    Post WWII Timely's need to have something extra going on with the cover. Being drawn by Schomburg is not enough by itself.

    People are too embarrassed to admit they own one, so they don't sell or slab for fear of being found out.

    I'm very sorry to hear this.

    Not close enough to the real Ohio distributor marks

    Every day would be inconvenient. Nothing is built for someone your size. Everybody stares at you and makes stupid comments. You don't fit in chairs, cars, clothing, shoes. Everything you use regularly would need to be custom built/sized. That would take a lot of money to justify the inconvenience. If you're tall but you're un-athletic, you have a lot of downsides with little upside from the height. If you reached that height from Marfan Syndrome, even $50M isn't going to seem enough compensation.

    Original owner books or a set put together by a collector?

    It's the Church copy and highest graded. There are picky collectors, but this is not the Silver Age where there are 20 others copies in 9.8 to choose from. Fawcett is not a hot company and the cover has none of the usual aspects that drive demand, so that seems the more likely explanation for the lukewarm market interest.

    It's uncommon to have civil litigation after that length of time and murky circumstances, much less escalating to a criminal prosecution.

    What I care about most is color fidelity in the resulting scan, then reliability, and then price. Any recommendation based on that? Thanks!
