Great Books!!! Keep em Coming!!!

I love B&B. I've posted them before, but here are my B&B's.

Shep, I just read this in the marketplace. Awsome info. I just cut and pasted it into an email and sent it to myself so I can save it. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks Shep. Not much of a story for me to tell, but here it is. I got into war books with both feet when I purchased my G.I.Combat 68 a while back. I decided then that I wanted to get nice clean copies of OAaW 81-83. I found a nice 82 right away and jumped on it. Now there have long since been many copies of #81 at Metropolis (the best of which, CGC 8.5, I was the underbidder on ebay-It's now about $2500 more than it went for that day) So I decided I would wait on the 81 and look for a nice 83. I told a friend of mine I was looking, so if he came across one to let me know. I continued to look. I saw one nice looking copy on SoCal Comics (CGC 4.5) I didn't really have the money at that exact time, but I kept checking the site every few days to see if it was still there. A month later I looked for it and it was gone. I now was upset with myself that I didn't just pull the trigger and charge it. Since then the only copies I've seen are a couple low grade copies with poor scans on ebay that I didn't want to take a chance on. Then one day that friend of mine told me he found one. I had NO MONEY as I was knee deep in replacing the asbestos roof on my 200 + year old house (still not done now, but getting close) So I went through my collection and picked a bunch of books that I was willing to part with and took a drive to see him and traded them for the 83. The books I traded had some value, but all of them can be replaced. I knew I would kick myself if I didn't find a way to get it. I've continued to look for #83 since I got mine, not to purchase another, but just out of curiousity, and I have seen zero, I'm very happy with the decision to make this one happen. As for who the "source" is. I would not say he deals in very many war books, but he's a great guy and he came through for me on this one and his name is Ted Vanliew, better known as Superworld Comics. It will be a (long)while, but now I have to start saving for a #81. Thanks again for the kind words and for confirming that I'm not crazy! -Mike

Got to keep this thread going. I just got this one back from CGC today.

I think $100 is way too much for a VG. If you check completed auctions on ebay, there is a F for around $50 and some VG's that were priced around $80-90 that did not receive any bids. I know your first post mentioned the lower graded books, but my coment was regarding the HG prices.

I'm in trouble if those prices are right

It's only a 4.5, so maybe.

I had to crack and buy this book. Haven't received it yet, but here's a scan...

Shep, Beautiful books. You just added OAaW 167 to my list. Love that cover Keep em coming

Very Nice Fury's. I especially like the covers on the #29 & #60!!!

Thanks! I have only been collecting War books for about the last 2 years, and I haven't bought much of anything in 2006. I posted most everything that I have except for this one, so here it is... Thank you everyone for the feedback on the books!

Andy, Here another one you might like.......

Sorry Andy. I hadn't seen this Silver War thread before, so I couldn't resist posting them here too.
