I’ve limited my Timely collecting to a small subset of wwii cover books that are important or scarce. I just added Daring Mystery 3 from 4/1940, famous for the first and only appearance of the dreaded but fashionable pink pocketed and helmeted Nazis firing pink artillery shells and the odd bound #damselindistress.

It’s a feature, not a bug. They force you to bid in order to be able to create a watched or tracked list. I try to be on the CL site as close to the start of an auction (always 8pm) as I can to be able to make the lowest bids possible and create my list.

Nope. I would wake up in a cold sweat every night hearing the pages disintegrate.

I collect only books from 1939-1945 that have WWII covers. The first books I would grab before some disaster hit would be ones that have real historical value. My two Okajima camp books and Cap 46 fit this description. Then I’d grab the books I love too much to ever let go: Prize 23, Miss Fury 2, All Select 1, More Fun 54, and Master 21. I started collecting in the 70s as a teenager. Unfortunately I sold them all before I went into the Army. But I remember reading Overstreet and seeing pictures of GA books and these stood out to me as comics that were forever completely beyond me.

New meaning to 'Arrowverse'
I'm sure @walclark has one, so does @JimButlerGA I believe
I have only the number 3. It’s the only wwii cover in the run, so it’s the only one I put in the pc.

Is there a way to search Golden Age only in their auctions?
Nope. I’ve talked to Vince about this and how we GA collectors have to go through a lot of chaff to get to the wheat. I have seen that they try to cluster all the GA on one day, which is certainly helpful.

It’s not the most beautiful, but when there are all of two on the CGC Census, one can’t be too picky. Very happy to add this book to the wwii cover collection.
