Awesome books, Shep! I think you definitely made a great buy! I like the 302 especially due to the logo change. And if I had a dollar for every Sgt. Rock book that had him on the cover holding a bunch of dogtags, I think it might match the stack of dollars I had for every "dog/child in danger cover".

Fair enough. I think there's a lot of worthwhile posters on this board, and because it's a community, everyone will bring their own personalities to the board, for good and for bad.

I have to call BS on this. Dave Anderson came over to respond to some posts made by Steve Carey, and in doing so, escalated what should've been a private discussion. Not to be a part of the community. Not to answer questions about the Action #1, nor to post a pic. Both Dave and Steve may have some fantastic books, but this alone doesn't put them on a pedestal, especially since their primary contribution so far has been an argumentative thread about each other's grading, pricing, and personality. The majority of regular posters welcomed Dave despite his initial post and its intent, and have been respectful. Now, your definition of respectful might be different than mine. Mine doesn't include people prostrating themselves because they are the owners of several books that we might wish we had. All Steve and Dave have done is shown that they are tempermental dealers in this industry.

I think it would be great to have folks like Dave join the boards and participate in some of the threads, but what both threads have amounted to is a large game of He Said, She Said between a couple of folks who have books that I will likely never afford nor see in all my time collecting. We went from commentary about the Action #1 and its condition to Steve's All American #16 and whether that subscription crease is color breaking or not. Frankly, all of these arguments are moot. Unless someone is willing to post scans of either book, nothing is settled, and the argument is just not worth the bandwidth.

Yeah, that's just a way cool cover. Our Fighting Forces always seemed to take a back seat to Our Army at War and G.I. Combat, but I always loved it.

Could very well be due to the holiday season. I know that I've passed by a lot of stuff this past month that I would love to jump at, and that Heath page is one of them. Unfortunately, I got to wait til January for further purchases.

If you ever feel like you just can't bear looking at it anymore, let me know.

Kudos to October for a couple of gorgeous looking DC 100 pagers - HoM 226, and Unexpected 158. Thanks a lot, man!

I know I'm dredging up the past, but since I just got some books from genepliner, I searched around and saw this. He definitely overgrades. The redeeming thing is that his books end up going cheap...cheap enough that they were still worth what I got. I just picked up some Secrets of Sinister House that while they look nice once I've got them out of the yellowing bags and into mylars, you can tell they'd be in a lot nicer condition if they weren't handled so much. Near Mint for him ended up being FN/VF.

Ya know, my 11 year old nephew likes to hit the reset button on his Playstation every time he doesn't like how a game is going also.

WOO HOO!

Just got in a bunch of books from Dan Greenhalgh, and well, I likey a lot!

God, how I love some of those HOS covers.

Just won an auction for some of those SSWS Enemy Aces. Can't wait to see them!

Day-um. I think I'll stick with collecting Unexpected for the time being.

I'm just getting back into collecting after a long, long break. There are definitely some insane prices going on for some of the DC Horrors, based on what I saw on EBay. I'm just glad some nice 9.2's or occassional 9.4 slip through at a decent price.
