There's some nice treasures! Andy

I remember seeing that book, eBay was it? I didn't have it pegged for a 5.0, though. Good job! I really like that 8 over 9 pence stamp, but not so much the writing above it. Andy

Still a nice book, Jack! (thumbs u ...scary, but nice... Andy

Very nice! Andy

My top ten,,,I have only been collecting war books for a few years, and I only collect DC Big 5 so that is what my list will consist of. 10. Our Army at War 112 - Brady Bunch Cover 9. Our Fighting Forces 71- Awesome Grey Tone 8. All American Men of War 67- 1st G&S 7. G.I. Combat 56 - Love the cover and prototype issue 6. G.I. Combat 80 - One of my all time favorite covers 5. G.I. Combat 91 - Another One of my all time favorites 4. G.I. Combat 87 - 1st Haunted Tank and what a cover 3. Our Army at War 81 - Almost the 1st Rock 2 G.I. Combat 68 - "The Rock" and also, my first DC War book 1. Our Army at War 83 - 1st True Rock thirdgreenham's top 10 DC war books 10. Star Spangled War Stories #151 1st Unknown Soldier (not really, but it is to me. I doesn't have a great story as SSWS #154, but it introduces the character that filled my dreams for many, many nights) 9. Our Army At War #2 (incredibly scarce early DC war book, probably not on the top 10 of 100 other DC war collectors' lists, but due to it's scarcity, it makes mine) 8. All American Men Of War #67 1st Gunner and Sarge (tough book to find in nice shape and introduces a couple of real losers) 7. Star Spangled War Stories #84 1st Mlle. Marie (a very sought after book that sells for multiples of guide at times, very important for DC war collectors) 6. Our Fighting Forces #45 early Gunner and Sarge (strangely more important to me than the 1st appearance in AAMOW 67, I find both books very difficult to find in nice shape, but this one has a bigger draw for me)(side note-just try to find a copy of OFF46!) 5. Our Army At War #1 (a very important book for me, my first expensive DC war comic that I ever bought....it cost $150 for a VG about 13 years ago) 4. G. I. Combat #68 Sgt. Rock prototype (a surprise hit among DC war books, once thought to be the first Sgt. Rock appearance, now just a lowly prototype book that goes for gobs of cash!) 3. Our Army At War #81 last Sgt. Rock prototype (Overstreet lists this as the most expensive DC war book, but #83 should really take that crown. Can anyone with GPA confirm this?) 2. Our Army At War #83 1st true Sgt. Rock ( the most desirable comic book for DC war collectors-except me) 1. G. I. Combat #87 1st Haunted Tank (mesmerizing cover and it just so happens to be a monumental issue) Andy

36, 44, 60, 98?

I only know DC war, so it wouldn't be fair of my to make a list that included the other companies. I know Atlas war is amazing, EC war is supposed to be wonderful as well. Trooper says Timely is great. When I compose my list, it'll be "thirdgreenham's top 10 DC war books"....cause that's all I know... Andy

Great list, Shep! (thumbs u I'll compile my list tomorrow, not much time tonight. Andy

Damn, troop, I believe I was the under-bidder on those two books. Nice pick ups!!! Andy

Great book, Shep! Andy

! no, no, you're supposed to say, "junk" I can never tell the difference between "junk" and "sweet" books.

Very nice copy, Jeff! Very nice indeed. (thumbs u Andy

!

I really like your 93! Beautiful book. Andy

This thread needs a kick-start today. Here's a couple of freshly graded G. I. Combats: #94 This book is so gorgeous in hand that I'll bet if it were raw at a show, it'd be graded anywhere from VF to VF/NM. One of my favourite covers. #99 A very nice book. Looks accurately graded. (thumbs u Andy

Very nice! I'd say anything 6.0 and above is "tough to find". Andy

What an image from the master, Joe Kubert!

Yeah that sonofabeotch beat me again!!!

Excellent buy, Shep! Good job!!! (thumbs u Andy

Let's just say there is another reason to visit the Salida thread to see the most recent post. link You have some gorgeous books! Andy

Hey all, just got a batch of books back from CGC. I've posted them in the War Comics thread in the Silver Age section as well. Mostly happy with my grades, but almost never what you'd like, eh? GIC #68 CGC 7.0 Very happy with this one, and I pegged it at F/VF as well OAAW #81 CGC 4.5 Bought this as a Fine, when I got it I figured it was VG/F so I was pretty close... AAMOW #8 CGC 7.0 I really figured this would get a VF, but that just shows me how nice some earlier books are, the VFs are just impossible to find. OFF #5 CGC 6.5 Nice book! I thought this was a F/VF, so again pretty close Andy
