How about something like this @KirbyJack?

My son’s current comic room after his latest WETA statue. Loves his legos also. 

 

Right comic; wrong placement for the sig. Gotta be first page...
and bigger!

How about something like this @KirbyJack?

Just noticed this thread has hit 1M views!

Dude, that was a beer thru the nose moment!

How about something like this @KirbyJack?

Hey @Jasonmorris1000000, if ya want, DM me your address and I'll send out the TTA 12.
If it's an upgrade great, it's yours for free. Rather see it go to a fellow PHM regular.

Hopefully there will be a super-inclusive specimen for my budget. 
I would need a first page signature, of course. ( get that bc provenance, y’know )

My raw TTA 12 might be an upgrade (I have to eyeball it further)

My TTA 18 is about the same shape as yours and the others, I only have a slabbed copy.

I’ll keep an eye out for your sales thread @bc.  At the very least, I’d like to upgrade these outstanding specimens 

Actually, still feeding my fetish for "Pre" things - focusing on Pre-WW2 Schomburg Human Torch covers.

Here's my MMC stash (sorry 'bout some of these pics being blurry)

I can see why you felt warm and fuzzy when you found that box.  So you’re going for 5.0 and better for the entire run @bc?  That’s awesome 

Since ya asked...here's my Human Torch Comics run-in-progress:



-bc

Well Guys, after a couple weeks of rumination, I've decided to pass on my PHM collection to new stewards. A lot of these books I've had for 20+ years and I ain't getting any younger.
Over St. Patrick's day weekend, I decided to "air" out the collection from the Vault. After I blew the dust off the top of the boxes, I tried to remember when the last time was that I had looked at them. Judging by the layer of dust, it had to be several years.
I then decided to update my database with the few new books added (and a few sold to @Sweet Lou 14) - noticing the last update was May 2018!
While I did open every box and check out each book to make sure the database info was still valid, that feeling wasn't there anymore. Until I opened my box with my Marvel Mystery Comics & Human Torch Comics - that made me smile. So, I'm going to slowly add to those titles (and I mean slowly because it takes as much patience for the books I can afford to come to market) and enjoy the thrill of the hunt once again.
The short box of PHM raws will be blown out here once my OSPG arrives (thanks to @KirbyJack for sending me some screenshots to get started). Gonna try and do some cheap bundles to avoid excess shipping hassles for both me and the potential buyers. I'll give you guys a heads up before I start the sales thread or feel me to hit me up if you have any gaps you want to fill.
I have been picking up collected PHM masterworks, so I can still enjoy reading the material and have it on hand for research purposes (you ain't gitten' rid of me that easily ). But I'm going to shed the PHM's in order to generate a war chest for my Timely passion as well as add to my equities funds. 
Been working with Jason at ComicLink and it looks like they want to include my PHM slabs in the upcoming May Featured Auction, so I'll be taking a trip up to Portland, Maine real soon. I looked into shipping and insuring 3+ full short boxes, but the cost & risk of damage made me uneasy, plus I hear Portland is a really nice place to get a good bowl of clam chowder (I've never been there).
It's been a long strange trip for sure, but I feel it's the right time to let someone else get the enjoyment I once did from this awesome era of the Timely/Atlas/Marvel saga 
-bc

I'll play along and drop a few of my favorites (at least this week).
 
 

Lessee, Atlas, Atlas, 
Hell, I can't even get out of the "A"s with only 5 choices.
 

Cant really argue against any of the above, but I have always loved these two.

Yes I agree but I thought it would be a fun task. So I will preface this by saying these are my “current” top five. My choices are based on color, composition and subject matter.
5. Mystery Tales #14
Everett does a fantastic detailed job on this Gypsy woman with her intricate clothing and wrinkled face. The man’s a bit more cartoonish but has that pure expression of fear as the skeletons break loose to attack!
4. Menace #11
Harry Anderson creates a tense and fearful unique perspective with this closeup cover. That guy’s neck or back is clearly snapped as the door is simultaneously being locked. Talk about multitasking!
3. Spellbound #17
Bill Everett again does a stunning rendition of a girl returning? to the grave. The stark blacks and whites make this cover pop. The chorus of skeletons in the background add to the eeriness. Another boardie once mentioned the large size of Everett’s sig on this one, signed large as if he was very proud of it.
2. Spellbound #14
Another Everett and another Spellbound, but this crazy cover is firing on all cylinders! First, the colors are just fantastic. The layout works nicely by drawing your eye in a zig-zag from background to foreground and vice verse. And then there’s Mr. Smiley with the ascot!
1. Venus #19
Maybe no surprise here but this cover hits it all with the ghostly trio, damsel in distress and a mask wearing skeleton! Beautifully composed and a classic!
