Oh Mylanta!

No war covers. Meh.

Its the earliest signed book that I am aware of.  The earliest CGC graded Okajima (that I am aware of) is Red Dragon Comics #7 - 3/30/1943                

Thanks for that. This thread has been incredibly helpful to me in understanding more about the story and the pedigree. I now have two signed camp war-related covers and I’m looking for more.

I don't know what this went for and wasn't aware of it prior to the auction but this book exemplifies what's interesting about the collection as much as if not more than just about any other copy I've seen.   To more it's far less interesting to hear that a book has a perfect spine or got a high grade number than it is to hear that a Japanese girl who was forced into an internment  camp purchased a book that depicted racially stereotyped Japanese soldiers with a "secret" plan to destroy the USA.   That starts a conversation with just about anybody.   But if it's a generic non-war comic cover and you're gonna talk about how perfect the corners are and how white are the pages, there's a far smaller subset of people who will find it interesting.    At least, if the people you're talking to are "civilians" out in the world.

That’s why it’s the most important book in my collection by far. I only collect WWII covers from the period. This is the grail of grails for a military history buff like me.

Now, this definitely sounds like a plan and probably the best move to make at this point in time.  

Jim;

Was you already aware of this auction and planning to bid at the end, but something came up which made you forget all about the end of the auction?  Just asking because that seems to be a common occurrence with bidders that wait unti the end of the auction to bid.  

I imagine you must have a copy of MF 72 in your collection already as that is clearly also a WWII cover, but managed to fetch only a bit over guide for a much higher graded pedigree copy to boot.  

 

Not a bad idea ... 🧐

Thanks, but the CLink 63 was right in my sweet spot. Hell, I’ve already spent the money on other shiny objects now. 🤣

I don’t. I bid on it but didn’t win. I have a Dr. Fate arguable war cover with 70. Just wanted a Spectre war cover. 🤷🏻‍♂️

PLOD truly complements that Detective 6. First time I’ve ever seen that. Fantastic books, BTW!
