Allentown is the poster child for quality over quantity. The promise collection is both quality and quantity which is quite unusual. I am wondering if anyone has seen any of these promise slabs in person yet? The Cap allentown #1 had a million dollar offer many years ago. It will be interesting to see how they compare in person to Chuch or SF.

Yes, the Aurora and Ohio books exhibit the "C" distributor code. Thanks for the additional info regarding the east coast.  I noticed these multiple codes and suspected that the collection was "pieced together" rather than genuine "O-O" newstand purchased.  This prompted me to go through the effort to validate the story put forth by Heritage.

Several days ago, I ascertained the identities of the brothers in about two hours without too much trouble. I respect the wishes of the family as to disclosure. 

I recognized the coding on the front covers immediately, similar to those seen on several GA books obtained from a dealer who found around 150 books in a storage unit.

The storage unit is located approximately 30 miles from the address of the recently passed brother!

How about a dozen cool comics featuring Matt Baker art?  Some other nice art by Kirby, Colletta, Williamson as well.

All complete, collectible books in very good  condition, plus or minus.

Bittersweet flea market find.

I dragged out 25 DC remainder copies from storage recently; essentially unread, fresh copies. Would appreciate any comments as to collectible value.

Thanks for the vicarious pleasure.  Hope to see you in person sometime in 2020.

Great report Lewis, nice to see you and John at the show.  Looking forward to the show next month in MD.

Nice copy of Intimate #1! Here is my mid-grade copy of the second issue:

Maybe someone on the boards has a nice copy of this issue?

I don't know the rarity of this, but was surprised that I have not run across it long ago. It could be that it escaped my perusal due to being post-code.

I did a bit of Ebay selling in the latter part of 2005 and was astonished with the prices realized for the Baker/Cole/Ward books. A sampling of realized prices:

So you can see that 2005 bidding was quite competitive and heated for these treasures. I am not at all surprised to see it is happening again. Maybe its time to pull out some more books and see if history will repeat itself. Hmmmm.

Paying homage to Andy's theme: "Books You Don't See Often and If You Do, Not In This Condition", here is one:
