A number of them just finished up on Heritage, I believe these are the same ones. IIRC, they sold in the $400-600 range. They are cool, though. (thumbs u

That's a very nice book. Congratulations, Fazy! Hopefully, this will be a turning point for you. (thumbs u Andy

Not sure what this thread is doing on the second page, but that's unheard of. Andy

Outbid me, too.

Awesome!!! Agreed here, too! (thumbs u Great books, great grades, great prices for the seller. Andy

Yeah, forgot about that one. Wow!

Well, there was some crazy high prices on these books, but well-deserved actually. Unfortunately or fortunately, I'm not sure which, more and more folks are realizing this genre and are getting into it in a big way. Here's some highlights: AAMOW 127 (#1) CGC 8.5 $4675 AAMOW 111 CGC 9.0 $490 OAAW 16 CGC 9.2 $2100 Gorgeous! OAAW 57 CGC 8.0 $829 6.5x guide OAAW 67 CGC 8.0 $550 OAAW 76 CGC 9.2 $1225 OAAW 78 CGC 8.5 $757 OAAW 201 CGC 9.6 $808 OAAW 242 CGC 9.4 $1600 Man, I'd so much rather have a beautiful early book than this nice one. OFF 45 CGC 7.5 $1300 This one's huge, but a key issue. OFF 71 CGC 9.0 $1463 Okay, sorry, this one is huge! SSWS 16 CGC 8.0 $750 This one went nearly double what I thought it would. SSWS 57 CGC 8.0 $530 Great cover but a shocker of a price. SSWS 90 CGC 7.0 $955 First dino, nearly 5x guide SSWS 97 CGC 8.0 $805 You mentioned this one, Mick, nearly 8x guide ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the flip side, I picked these up and I'd like to think of them as "deals" AAMOW 112 CGC 9.4 Boston $346 OAAW 184 CGC 9.4 Oakland $176 When many of the other 9.4s around this one were going for $300-$400 OFF 6 CGC 7.5 $165

Thanks Fay, but I feel it was all in good fun. (thumbs u Great looking books, by the way. Andy

Perhaps one day... In the meantime, maybe we can see a picture of you in your Ninja Hoe jammies.

All great books! Andy

You've been a big part of these boards for me, Fay, you're obviously a great person. (thumbs u I've got nothing but good things to say about our dealings. Thank you! Andy

A shrubbery?

Not handy, Mick, but wow!! I look forward to the day of going out that way for a visit. That is, if I'm still invited....

What can I say? Great guy, great collection.

Not his doubles. Absolutely fantastic books up for sale there. I don't think you'll see many good deals, these books should get some nosebleed prices. That OFF 71 you mentioned, Shep, should challenge $2000. An extra $10000 would be nice to have, but to buy a nice portion of them, an extra $30000 would be nicer. Andy

nice books, tat! (thumbs u

Great job! I wanted to bid and was sitting nearby my computer. Thought there was going to be audio.

If that was you, Richie, you did very well on most of those lots. (thumbs u Andy

That's a good question for after the auction. The books are actually All American Men Of War. (thumbs u Andy

Jeffy, great books, my man!

It's safe to say that Salida's do not trade hands very often. I've not seen WM list of war books but cgcworld, who's working on that collection for the Pedigree book, may know a thing or two. I don't recall ever seeing a WM war book. The RC came out through a variety of sources so I doubt we'll ever get a complete list though I'm the Ped book folks are documenting what they can. I'm pretty sure Goldman has a complete Newsboy list. Boston, DR and PC don't appear to have 10 DC war (at least not in high grade). DR, btw, has been de-listed by CGC as a pedigree though I would be interested to learn more about the collection as it contained some very sweet GA books. It's certainly possible that there are Church copies of DC war but the original (and incomplete) sales lists don't contain SSWS or AAMOW even though it has others books from that same time period. Past 1953 the Church collection is pretty much just Westerns so I wouldn't expect GI Combats etc. Thanks for that info! (thumbs u
