Those are purty! I have the Sid's 111 in my run.

 

Who the heck is Sid and how did he get such nice Journey Into Mystery's?

 

Well, Sid (and before him Jade) was a nice old jewish business man who owned Sid's Luncheonette on the corner of Central Ave and South Center Street in Orange NJ back in the late 50's early 60's. I bought these JIM's (and many more off the shelves) back then.

 

In fact I bought my JIM 83 and AF 15 on the SAME DAY back in June of 1962 at Sid's. Here's the story via My Sid's COA;

And those were big reasons I went all in on this book. I actually sold my 7.0 copy in the same auction as this book not knowing if I'd win it or not. Just had to take a chance or grumble about it for years to come.

...that's definitely a book to take a gamble on, or make a sacrifice for. I'd seriously rather have your new copy than a 9.0 with inferior QP.....GOD BLESS....

The only bad thing you could possible say about that book is its not an......Avengers! :baiting:

 

It does star a founding member though so I guess I can give you a pass lol

lol I'd almost bring it with me to see the movie, but would be worried some kid might puke on it or spill a soda on it or something!

P.S. As you know, a cat can't allow ANYTHING to command more attention than it does.
