In aid of a great cause.

I'm in Australia though if shipping is an issue, I'll happily help.

I guess I should have put that I only ship CONUS.

I think shipping to Australia may cost more than the donation.

I'm not sure what to do here.

I just messaged the CGC account on Instagram.  I was immediately messaged back and told there is a dedicated post made for Thomas mentioning the go fund me.  
 

Way to go on this CGC!  Thank you!

Whoops.  I guess I misread what Sharon wrote.  I thought they were going to put it on the website.  My bad @skypinkblu

Hey David,

Hope you are well.

You wouldn’t happen to have a copy of Fast Willie Jackson 3 would you? I would be happy with a beater.

I will miss him dearly, a constant good man, and friend on the Boards. My best to his family, in what must be a very difficult time.

Unfortunately, Urich isn't willing to ship overseas - totally understand - so the books are back up for sale.

I'll look out for something else in the meantime!

 

Sorry chaps

I'm sorry too. 

Thank you for understanding.

Let me see what I can dig up in the next few days.  If not,  I'll just donate or buy something.

This is what I wrote "CGC is going to feature the thread on their social media page tomorrow and put a link  to the gofundme page"

Starts on the 7th,  Tomorrow

[skypinkblu]

Update for tonight. 

The list of items still available is on page 9.

Gofundme shows $13,840.00 paid so far. There is about another $1k, still outstanding between checks and payments not made yet. Nothing earlier than today, so I'm not sending out any reminders just yet. 

Hopefully tomorrow we will get a little more traffic on the Gofundme. 

I think the forum as always is doing a super job...I would like (hopefully) to pass the gofundme goal since with inflation, that's not quite as much as it sounds...but one step at a time.

Thanks again everyone ...and have a great night!

I've gotten a few pms about who is checking to make sure the money goes to the right place...I am.

I check EVERY transaction. Either I can see it on the Gofundme page, or I  ask. 

I have a spreadsheet, Carmen is the only other one who has access.

You rock!

Yeah, my fault.  I basically stopped reading after “the thread on” and assumed it said website.  So, I thought I had a good idea in contacting CGC’s IG page and basically kinda asked them to do what you had already accomplished.  

[shadroch]

I have not yet paid for the Detective  I bought. I will settle this evening, hopefully picking up another book or two.

I just went through the list again, Andy and I don't see it. Could you show me who took it please? It's possible I missed something. The FRANKENSTEIN book did sell...but that was a hard cover. 

I appreciate the help...we did so many of these together, I've missed you.

To keep this going, a pile of about two dozen books, mostly fun reading material, with the most interesting being a copy of Eagle and Tiger 189, the first comics appearance of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!

Added 5/7: Overstreet 11 softcover and Confessions, Romances, Secrets and Temptations paperback.

$30 to the Drew family and I'll cover shipping to the US.

Added some sweetener to this group.

Overstreet 11 with a great LB Cole cover and feature.

Confessions, Romances, Secrets and Temptations, an awesome overview of St. John's romance comics, with an awesome Matt Baker cover.

A beautiful Captain Marvel picture frame(ish) in memory of the #1 Captain Marvel picture frame collector. Thomas would always hit me up for CMs and PFs, although he was also known to buy a horror book or two occasionally! RIP. 

Captain Marvel 25 VF/NM Hulk appearance, Jim Starlin cover/art, Thanos cameo (2nd appearance) $80 SOLD.  Free shipping in the US (split international shipping).
