One of my favorite books, and total bi-atch in grade. Mine's a slabbed 9.0, and when I last looked it was highest census. That may have changed - still, a tough, tough book in grade. Shep There's a CGC 9.4 W ending on CL tonight. There is a slabbed 9.6 as well (haven't seen it). OUR ARMY AT WAR #235 Condition: CGC 9.4 NM And that is a sweet looking raw copy Jeffro. (thumbs u Thanks for the heads up, Bill - seems a lot of 9.4 and 9.6 graded issues have appeared since I stopped buying slabs. Good thing I stopped, too... I'd be broke! Shep Yeah, despite what you would think, you still have to pay to play in the world of slabbed DC bronze war in 9.6 (and some 9.4s). I was hoping it would ease up a bit, but no such luck as yet. Most of the books I am looking for don't even come up for sale and I have a feeling CGC's impending new pricing structure will make slabbing most books of this genre and age even less likely in the future. I still need 6 issues of SSWS post #188 and cannot even find them raw NM or NM+ to slab on my own as I doubt dealers would take the chance due to demand compared to the superhero books.

(thumbs u Exactly - keep the good story arcs coming and entertain me. It's the Walking Dead not the Stopping Dead. Keep it going as long as the sales and creativity warrant it.

Very cool. Thanks for the education. (thumbs u

Completely agree on that one. I usually only get the trades, but for 9 I had to get this (nice 10 btw): I'd love to get a shot at the OA for it, but am guessing the computerized coloring/effects have a lot to do with how cool the final product presents. Anyone know what the OA looks like or better yet have a scan of it?

Thanks to Hedge for a really nice DC digest. Thanks Larry! Bill

I am pretty partial to WWT 14 and 24 as far as favorite LD WWTs. I am lucky enough to own a few of his horror covers and he is an excellent illustrator who gets far too little credit IMO. I would love to meet him at a con some day.

AuctionMagic is sniping software that can act as a permanent "Watch List." Meaning it will save ebay item descriptions locally for reference purposes. Since I watch a lot of late SA and Bronze SSWS CGC books, I happened to have the issue you mentioned in my archive and after a quick search identified the book and bidding information.

I wish my memory was that good, Andy. AuctionMagic's archives and collecting the title for a while provided that information. (thumbs u

Oakland SSWS 138 was a 9.2 that ended on 11.28.06. Execsec2 sold it to internetworkshop for $500. Motorcitycomics had a non-pedigree 138 in 9.6 end two days later for $1200 (which was the starting bid) to merceade. Goldust40 won some of the other SSWS Oaklands in that batch, perhaps he is the board member you are thinking of?

Very nice randyp. I would like to see a CGC Registry set for Blitzkrieg. And I would like to see a Showcase edition of the odds and ends of Bronze DC War as well. Like Blitz and Four Star Battle Tales, DC 100 Pagers, Brave and the Bold crossovers, DC Special, DC Super-Stars, DC Presents crossovers, GI War Tales, etc., as well. Even though I know it will never happen. This thread has been dead! I love Silver. And Bronze is before my time for the most part (even tough that is what I collect), let's liven it up! Anyone have some interiors to post? Once I finish my SSWS set I will overload the thread with posts from my favorite run, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

Big thanks to Turokhunter for another piece to the SSWS set. Thanks Bill!

While technically correct, his front cover still presents better.

I like 134 bunches, myself. Always found it odd though that the husband finds it strange to be getting company at midnight, yet thinks nothing of still being dressed in a suit. I think maybe it's a smoking jacket and an ascot?

No problem. (thumbs u LMK if you ever decide to sell. I use Valiantman's site quite a bit when researching the Census. CGC should totally implement his work into their site. Their Census interface is a little clumsy and fairly tedious. SSWS at Valiantman's Site And I was not meaning to contradict you too much Shep, my experience has just differed for those later issues raw and I do a pretty good job of looking - I just don't take a lot of eBay chances anymore. Them not being slabbed I can totally understand - the demand is just not there.

HG, as in slabbed? It is not. There is 1 9.6 and no other copies graded. From 180 to 204 there are three issues which only have one graded copy and four issues which have no graded copies. Do demand and prices realized have a lot to do with that? No doubt, but I have been looking for raw copies to submit on my own and finish out my Registry set and have not come across too many over the past 3+ years. VFs of later SSWS you can get all day long raw, but strict NM and above? Not from the major dealers I follow. I do not plan on finishing my set anytime in the near future. Almost half the issues I need don't even have a copy in the census. The 190s are the toughest stretch by far. In fact, 3 out of the 4 "no copies graded" issues come from the 190s. Another Bill

Very clean copy. Nice!

Thanks to Dale Roberts for a couple nice slabbed Bronze DC war issues. Thanks again Dale!

Thanks to bigfiver69 for some really nice slabbed bronze DC war books. Thanks again Shep!

Jerk.

Thanks to tkg2627 for a sweet slabbed Unknown Soldier book and also to greggy for taking some of my junk books. Thanks Vince and Greg. (thumbs u

Big thanks to a bunch of people who made purchases from me a while back (these are way, way overdue) - all were great experiences. Buried_Alien, thirdgreenham, Fazybones, paperheart, mschmidt, Karma23, lookwhoitis, moonlite, bcc and boomtown. Thanks everyone.

It's this little site I am trying to keep on the DL. Sweet comic deals Try not to pass that link around to too many people.

Yeah, after I saw the 422, I noticed the BIN on the 237 was about $5 over OS for a 9.2. I hit that one quick too. Nice White-paged, super clean looking copy and tied for top census. Not too shabby.
