Paratrooper

Atlas War

Aren't you regretting selling me that one Shep?

Paratrooper -- just had to show off a little, this is sitting in my closet:

 

Just packaged that up last week, it was sent to CW to get signed at the San Diego Con by Lily Renee. So in about 3 months I'll be posting some sweet Fiction House books in a pretty CGC SS holder all signed by Lily Renee (from what I've been told this is here first Convention appearance, don't think too many books have been signed by her).

The books I sent in for her signature are:

Rangers Comics #26 VF-

Wings Comics #45 GD/VG

Fight Comics #42 VF Crippen "D"

I just wish CGC would speed up their grading, I'm still waiting on the books I sent in for the San Jose con.

Now that's more like it!

Battle 34

I've always liked that cover. But, there's two things wrong with that picture

1) The gun is drawn way too small (much larger in real life)

2) A sniper would never have a spotter who smokes, the fire & smoke gives away position.

Heath drew these war covers much more realistic imo

OK, it's been a pretty busy and stressful last few hours, but I am happy to report that we have resolution.

 

Lawrence (old guy) involved a 3rd party that both he and I knew, who has spent some considerable time and effort acting as a go-between and working out some form of agreement.

 

OLDMAN

 

I am "OldGuy" and have never paid anything late in my life.

 

better change your name......Old Fart.......

Fixed that for ya

Since I don't see much traffic as I would like through my trooper collection, I'll post this here too. Just came in from Heritage won at $133.

Resto Dog told me to buy this....so I did

 

 

One of my very favorite covers

There was just something about it......I don't buy out of my trooper theme that often, but when I do, it has to have a cover that just jumps out at me.

After looking at these Fight Comics....and owning a number of them, I think after I complete my trooper run I might focus on a complete Rip Carson run....

I know some of you don't visit my paratrooper thread, so I'll post this here for you fiction house lovers.

Nice scans everyone. Just a quick note to let you know that there will be several of my DC war comics appearing in the Heritage Weekly Auction beginning Sunday night, July 8th. Over the next couple of months you can expect to see hundreds DC war comics in their auction. It is great to see that there are many very nice DC war comics in the collections of those of you on this thread.

 

Thanks

Keith Marlow

You got a GI Combat #9 in that lot?

Thanks! I actually outbid October on this book at the last 4 seconds.....I love bidnip

edit: Just mailed this book off today to CW at Fantastic Comics to have it signed by Lily Renee at the San Diego Con. Can't wait!

This book belongs here too.

you need some war books

Not sure if I owe you a few shots, as I'm never offended as to what's posted on these boards. Everything here is all in fun. Hell, don't take offense as to what I say. I take jabs at everyone, equal opportunity offender I am.

 

That's a Beauty Brent and a hard issue to find in any grade.

 

Nice grab whever you got it.

Ya Fazy, you like books that state people like to hold things "the HARD way"......

I was bidding on something else, I put a lowball bid on that. But bought others instead. Just wait for next week, I'll have a few more trooper books in there, thanks to GACollectibles. Still, wish that Rangers 26 was sitting in my inventory.

Nice book....

Captain Kudos to Paratrooper for a trio of books won in the Grail Game thread, Sgt Fury 53 CGC8.5, G.I. Combat 100, and Superman 199

also a big kudos to Grails for all of his fun games!

It was fun posting that game, enjoyed it as much as you did!

Two paratrooper books in that lot!!!! Well worth it!!!!!

Today's pickups in the rain:

 

the boarders are the actual ribbons soldiers wear on their uniform for certain awards.

Man, I loved it when DC did these greens.

You know what would happen to that guys crotch if he was sitting on a real tank turret while it was being fired? Instant castration....come to think of it, that should be a legal form of punishment for child molestors.

Bummer no trooper books between 115-160, shucks
