I have both. I need to see their insights.

We are proud of you.

CGC graders said how much appeal upon the book before looking for any significant defects. SW #8 looks like 9.2/9.4 before the staples. The appeal will tell the grade then downgrade from that point with those defects.

Long and live old timer!

Age discrimination.

Sounds like everyone are in a tight race. It will be very interesting to see the results tomorrow.

Don't be surprised if it is going higher than 7.5/8.0 and be prepared for FMV fee.

Grades are due this May 4 so the results will be ready tomorrow?

Thanks God. No Horrific #3 with Scotch tapes here!!

All contests. There is only one perfect score. Maybe two. Very pure 🍀 luck.

Thank you for pointing it out. I should’ve noticed it. Good job. I was thinking about giving it 9.4 but it’s too nice so I gave 9.6. 2 points ouch. i checked the grader note. That defect is not mentioned. I was not paying attention enough.

Uh-oh.

It looks nice. At least 9.2. What is backward 3 in white E in GI Joe title?

The deadline is today at 8pm EST.

Me either. I don't know why Mel Keefer got a credit for both pencil and ink on the cover. Every issue was done mostly by Mel Keefer. Nothing for Al Gordon or "Moe" Marcus for this series.

This is perfect for the dealers.

Thank you for ruling them out. The search continues.

I grew up to hear stories about POW in Chicago area. Camp Skokie Valley had no fence around the prison. Many German descendants took them out for dinner and brought them back. MP guards sometimes yelled at them for being late. No one thought of escaping. The camp is now overgrown with woods. Fort Sheridan was the major POW prison that held 4000 prisoners but it was a short-lived. Sub camps were Camp Pine, Camp Thornton, Arlington Fields and Camp Skokie Valley, each with 200 POWs. My hometown Arlington Heights used to have an alternative unpaved runaway (Arlington Fields) that became a temporary POW camp with 205 former Afrikakorps (most of them were 19 to 22 years old). After WWII, Arlington Fields became Defense Missile Site. Now, it's US Army Reserve and has 5 level bulk storage underground. The part of land is Arlington Golf Course. Those prisoners worked on the runaways at Glenview Naval Station (two aircraft carriers on Lake Michigan) and built the chapel on the base (today it became The Glen mall). The lookout building and chapel are only remainders of the old naval air base. The chapel is most popular for weddings. Sometimes, they worked at Pesches's Flowers (still exists) in Des Plaines that was closer to the railroad tracks (no POW thought about the escape to hop in the freight train). All POWs worked many different jobs around Chicago except Rockford. They treated well and got paid when they returned home with gained weights. Only one escaped in 1943 and recaptured in Chicago in 1953. The major population outside Chicago was German descendants. Those worked on agricultural majorly and worked at some industries. They dated some women and drank at the local taverns even going to the clubs and churches. After the war, many former POWs came back here to become the permanent residents.

True War Experience 1-4 (I managed to find some credits for Al Gordon and Moe Marcus - both are artists/inkers). 1952. Credits for Al Gordon Ignore those foreign publishers and post 1950 eras.

Lead ON!!!

It already has been since 1995. Too many lawless through Internet.

FYI, Qualitycomix contacted me via eBay. They checked the inventory and found the copy. Asked me for the link but I instructed them how to find it by eBay engine search and look for the item number. Click the link - Report this item right above the item number. It should be done in one or two days. I noticed that listing was posted since May 2022. No one noticed it not even Qualitycomix until now.
