I had interacted with Thomas numerous times on here, but unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to have met him in person.  The loss of anyone I've known here is a devastating blow, and my heart goes out to his family and to those who knew him.  

Let's do this one.  I don't have a scanner for slabs, so forgive the picture quality.

Giant-Size Fantastic Four #4 -- 1st appearance of Madrox, the Multiple Man -- CGC 8.5 -- White pages -- $180 

I'll pay the shipping to U.S. or to Canada.

This thread is an example of why I love this community.

I knew I had some of these but just found them.  I figured they would be an appropriate donation.  I've graded them roughly, they are all complete.  
I can't find a lot of the issues on eBay, don't know if that means they are scarce.  There are 10 books, Bin  price is $75 shipped in the U.S., I will split shipping outside the U.S. If I find more related books I will add them. All the books will be bagged and boarded and packed carefully.

The books are all from the Pink Panther series.

I didn't have time now, I'm running out for a few hours...but if that lot does not sell by tomorrow night, I'll list them at an auction starting at $1 and see what we can do.

Good catch; yes sir! 

[alecholland]

Changed my listing on the Sgt Rock books to suggested donation of $50, but at least $30. Whatever someone thinks is fair between $30 and $50.

Thomas was a good guy; he and I chatted a few times about his Captain Marvel collection when he was trying to get that last 9.8, were FB friends, and had some face to face at some shows. I am very sorry to hear about his passing.

Four Color 159 VG- (CR/OW) $100 shipped in US with proof of donation to gofundme. I am donating $100 as well ahead of time. SOLD TO LARRYW

I'm updating the list of things that are still available and will have them shortly.  I hope to see more listed tonight 

Meanwhile if you paid for an item and wrote "anonymous" please pm me an tell me, it's hard to tell the anonymous payments apart. 

thank you

MARVEL TALES 134                  3.5                          OW                          $125 .... drink ring on cover

USA SHIPPING ONLY

[Buzzetta]

Something besides comics.  I already made a donation but I wanted to do something a little "fun".  Thomas had reached out to me a few months ago over our shared guilty pleasure of "wrasslin" and MJF and sent me his number to chat.  I never made that call as work got in the way.  Finally I made that wrasslin' thread hoping he would join in with Jay and I.   

Let's offer a Lego set. 

I don't know how this works so if @skypinkblu confirms to me that you paid, send me an address and I will have this drop shipped from Amazon.  I will confirm that it was ordered with a screen shot of the order. 

Baby Groot - USA Only 

$50
