Don't you have all of them?
I still love seeing them, though, especially in that kind of shape. Yikes!

Yeah, they are nice in a jealous, depressing, I'll never own that many high grade DC war books EVER, kind of way.
Still, they are nice to look at.
You know, I'm coming to Jesus on the fact that there are lot of these books I will NEVER own in high grade. In truth, that will be the case for most of us I suspect.
So you put your runs together in the shape you can best afford, and sometimes the sun and the earth and the moon align and you're in the right place at the right time to score a really smokin' copy of something....
which ain't so bad.
For what it's worth, I am constantly in a state of jealousy over everyone else's war books. Which is totally irrational, because my collection is pretty okay.

In a way, this is just human nature, wanting something that we don't have, or always wanting more. It's also not the best quality to have, and I, for one, am guilty of. For the most part, my collection is made up of low grade to mid grade books. Yes, I am trying to upgrade here and there, but these books are truly affordable when they show up in 4.0 to 5.5 grades, and they are nice copies. We often strive to own the best copies, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we are greedy. We may just have a goal that we are trying to achieve, or we may just have a love of high grade books. When will this obsession end? After my next acquisition.....or perhaps the one after that. Or maybe even the one after that....
Just enjoy yourselves, have fun, and buy what you can afford. These books, the DC's, Atlas's, and (cough, cough) even Marvels , are great books and they should be appreciated.
Talk soon, my fellow collectors!
