Duffman_Comics Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Gotta sink those Japanazis... My, what a lovely book. Of which I was completely unaware I've been waiting ages for you to post this, given you told me you had secured it 21 January. What took you so long?

Shipping - I 'bank' wins at Heritage and get them sent when I have five invoices worth. In this case saved me around $150 compared to getting them sent individually.

Marty Mann Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 This one refers to the 7th WAR LOAN. mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrenSmith Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 As soon as I saw these today I thought of this thread. I have never seen these before so I thought some of you would be interested in seeing them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Mann Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have one of these somewhere...I would take my dime to school every week to buy a stamp. I remember filling one and getting a bond...it was a thrill as a kid. mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These aren't mine someone in Canada owns them. From what I understand is they are still redeemable, but only at face value as they are non-interest bearing.

AJD Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Wow - that's a great item (the book of stamps). At one stage I watched eBay trying to find something like that, or an original war bond of the type on the cover of the Dells back on p1 of this thread, but they seem to be harder to come by than I expected.

comicjack Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Nice cover one hundred dollar war bond was big money back then now it's a cup of coffee at Starbucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Nice cover one hundred dollar war bond was big money back then now it's a cup of coffee at Starbucks! Yep, $100 in 1945 is almost $1,300 now. Not too hard to see why those bonds are hard to come today - plenty of incentive to trade them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, $100 in 1945 is almost $1,300 now. Not too hard to see why those bonds are hard to come today - plenty of incentive to trade them in. Actually, the bond was worth less then face value when issued in 1945 - it would take ten years to reach that value. It also earned interest until 1985. (40 years worth) The Bonds are only redeemable to the person on the bond. A quick ebay search for "series E bond" comes up with several unredeemed ones during the WWII years.

AJD Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I just discovered the existence of another couple of War Bonds covers this week: Super Comics #74 and 86. Now I have to find them... But for now, I'm officially excited to add this one to the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffman_Comics Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I didn't know this one existed until recently - and then a gorgeous copy bobs up on Heritage. How'd I miss this? Lovely book and I have a soft spot for those anthology comics where the disparate characters (who inhabit quite different "universes" within the book) get to interact on the cover. It's great seeing Dick Tracy ignore Little Orphan Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
