So I get this call from a woman who says she has no idea how she got my number (my wife loves this stuff!) but her brother was a comic book collector and passed away, and she would like to sell them. I look, we chat, she’s clearly a knowledgeable comics reader. 
My sense was she wanted them all gone at once, as it made detaching from them emotionally easier than doing it several times, so we worked it out. There’s a lot of cool stuff to read and share, and I am keeping a Manhunt #14 and Ziff-Davis Amazing Adventures #1, but it’s mostly copper independent runs that will make great reading. I’ll share those in another threat a later time.

But there’s a small stack of cool, older books, mostly Herbie, and I’ll do those now. If I did the whole collection in Mixed, the Herbies would just get lost. And Herbie is the kind of series where people either gloss over the thread title or zero right in, so I wanted to highlight them with their own thread.

We’ll start with the few other older books, then go backwards thru Herbie, down through his Forbidden Worlds appearances, closing with two copies of his first appearance. Like Archie’s, mid-grade copies are pretty high-grade for Herbies. There’s some nice ones here and some run of the mill grades.
