I've been tracking some DC SA titles for a while and it seems Ebay auctions are very inconsistent.One auction of a nice JLA book might attract several bidders while a similar one attracts one.So I'm wondering if you could list your pecking order for these titles .Action,Adventure,Batman,Detetective,JLA,Brave and Bold,Spectre,Showcase,Superman,Superboy,DC horror,Wonder Woman,Green Lanten, Flash,any others.

If the books are mid-to-hi grade,non-keys, which would you pursue in what order?

Mine would be: JLA,Adventures (with the Legion),GL,Flash,

with the Superman/Action and Wonder Woman issues bringing up the rear.Yours?

MOST DESIRED (IN ORDER)

1. JLA

2. B&B (JLA appearances in 28-30)

3. Mystery In Space 75 (ties in to JLA 3)

 

I enjoyed most of the other titles you noted and collected all of them except Spectre, Showcase and DC horror originally. But I doubt that I would try to put mid to hg runs together for any other titles then what I noted now. gossip.gif

I loved those stories! Had totally forgotten about them, I read them in reprints when I was a kid. Now I'm going to have to go find some reader copies!

Star Spangled War Stories (dinosaur issues)

 

4) star spangled war dinosaur issues

 

 

Since a couple of guys mentioned this, I thought I'd point out that "The War That Time Forgot" makes a surprise re-appearance with the Losers in the 1st issue of Darwyn Cooke's "DC:The New Frontier" (on sale yesterday).
