Good morning and thank you again everyone who has been participating.

Carmen told me last night that Thomas's funeral will be live streaming today for those of you who were facebook friends. I don't know anything about facebook, so I'm no  help with that. I don't have a link, but maybe someone else could post it? Sorry I didn't post it last night things were a little hectic.

Comic Cavalcade #17, CGC 1.5 OW, 1946. The notes say cover detached and all interior pages detached. I did not have this book slabbed, so I never saw the raw book, but it looks pretty good for a 1.5;) and with 13 on the census in blue, it's scarce. There are 16, total.

Bin is $245.00 the entire amount goes to the family. Free shipping in the US, I'll split shipping to anywhere else.  In addition the the funds from the book, if someone buys this, I'll donate $125 to  the family .. I thought I had posted this already, but don't see it, so if I double posted somewhere ...plmk;)

Thanks, Ray...sold... thank you!

One piece of housekeeping...Invoicing. In the past I sent invoices to everyone because we used Paypal and I didn't want to post the PP address (the person's email address for those of you who forgot) online. I think most of you were used to that.

Gofundme is different,  I'm not posting personal information...so I posted the link...however people have been pming me, so I think it's easier if I just send joint pms. Simple ones, so I can keep a spreadsheet.

I have been sending pms for those who wanted to be anonymous and anyone who pms me, it's not a big deal, but I'll be a little backed up today.

If you know the person you are purchasing from and want to send your own PM, go for it...you can copy me on it, or just let me know when the payment is made and the book goes out.

I keep a spreadsheet in case there are any problems and for the recipients.  I copy them so they know what is going on.

I did post a sentence in red at the top to make finding the Gofundme easier.  I'll be in and out most of the day, but will catch up in-between. I'll be around this weekend.

Thank you all again...and I'm sure Carmen and her family thank you.

Very sad at the reason but I’m grateful to Sharon and the boards for our response. Keep the donations coming.

I'm a dealer in North Carolina and I saw and dealt with Thomas quite a bit.  The last time I saw him was at the Greenville SC Comic Con April 15.  He was running around the Con as usual looking for high grade books.  He was staying at the same hotel as me, and I saw him, Carmen, and his little girl at the restaurant and spoke to them all.  I'm glad I did.  I will post something this evening to the thread.

Do we need to PM you if we donated?

nope, unless you want to. I can see the donations and they have a running total.

So many of you would like to help but finances are a little iffy right now. Do you belong to social media? a church, synagogue, mosque? anything I'm leaving out please forgive me.

Please share the link at the top of the 1st  page. That's the beauty of this gofundme thingy.

Are you on facebook? do you know how to Tweet? I don't...share the link please. Are you a Youtube expert, an influencer of something ...work in a big office with a Sunshine fund? whatever you can think of ..certainly cannot hurt.

I'm in the midst of sending it to some friends who are on facebook, and I've reached out to CGC to see if they would put the link on their social media page.

Are you a comic book dealer with a website? Would you consider posting the link...do you have another website? 

We are a smaller group than we used to be, because of other social media, but I know we have a lot of social media experts here, so anything you do would be appreciated.

This story is truly horrible! I have a wife and two smaller children and can't even fathom what they are going through! I didn't know him at all, but I would like to donate a graded book tonight to try and help out. Anything helps and if we can all chip in a bit as a community, it goes that much further.

[universal soldier]

I'll be away so I just used the GFM option. If this thread is still up and running Sunday night I'll see if I can dig something up to donate or at least purchase.
