5 Simple Rules (Please, please read)

:rulez:

1st :takeit: wins; tie/indeterminate goes to the thread.

Payment is Check or Money Order (yeah, yeah I know I'm a dinosaur, troglodyte, luddite, mennonite, hermaphrodite etc. - I just don't have or want e-payments.)

Shipping: Via USPS Priority Legal Flat Rate is $10, via USPS Medium Priority Box is $17.

Don't be listy (tsk) including the little one in my head.

Returns: Sure, just notify me within three days of receipt and get it back to me in the same shape on your dime, except no returns on graded books.

(Kudos thread linked under my avatar.)

A word about the books:

This thread will contain Joe Sinnott’s personal copies of all his Charlton romance work — 128 books in total, all with 1-3 stories per issue penciled by Joe and inked by Vince Colletta. Joe signed the margin of the first page of each story he drew, with the word “pencils” in parentheses next to his name in most cases.

I will not be letting go of all of them, but my few keepers will also appear in the thread marked NFS so that all 128 are recorded here. In each case, I’ll provide front and back cover images, and images of each signature page. I did this with Joe’s complete Archie body of work as well when I brought those to the boards.

I should add, most of these are census ghosts, though lower grade raw copies are in some cases available on eBay. Joe’s nicer copies are seldom-seen examples of Charlton romance in grade.

My understanding is that some of these books were company comps to Joe, and some were purchased as back issues by Joe and his family so he would have a complete file of his work. I have bagged anything that was unbagged, and most of the unbagged books were of higher grade than the bagged ones. As we saw with the Archies, none of which were comps, Joe bought lower grade copies for his file. That seems to be the case here, as the bagged books were the lower grade ones. As a general rule, it is likely higher grade books in this thread were comps and lower grade ones Joe purchased himself to complete the set.

:news: SOLD! Cynthia Doyle Nurse in Love #67 — structurally Fine or better but some inside cover tanning. Fully supple. eBay asks in VG range are crazy in the $80s.  Another census ghost; 3x signed. Let’s say $50.

 Lots of folks on the boards for a Sunday night. Let’s do six issues of First Kiss, all census ghosts, before calling it a night. 
Then we’ll pick up tomorrow night with a full run of High School Confidential Diary (I think it became Confidential Diary with #14, so I guess I did the last two issues of the run out of order.)
