Purchased raw from Tom Maletta of New Hyde Park, NY in 2016. He was a comic dealer.  The owner of Best International Comics and a CGC advisor. He passed in 2020 in his early 60s and will be missed.

I’ve never heard of those articles but there is a great YouTube video that came out shortly after his death.  It is titled “Remembering Tommy Maletta.” I hope you get a chance to watch it.
