Nothing like a little “bullet in the head” to brighten up the holidays. Nice group of war pickups. They mostly look familiar to me. I have reached the point where it has to be REAL special to me. My war boxes are pretty full so now if I get a new one, I have to get rid of a couple.

A pickup from a small local show yesterday. Fished it out from a box. Was priced a little below condition guide. Amazed it wasn’t on the wall but the guy had mostly bronze to modern. I asked if he had any older books and he pointed to a box at the end of his table. Pays to ask and look.

Would like a better one but this one will have to do for now. This one is getting pricey… Happy to have one at all.

I love what it says in the guide. Something about a Russian solder getting “bar-b-qued”…:roflmao:

The sallow skin and time period indicate the soldier being fried to a crisp is one of my relatives from the People’s Liberation Army sent by the Communist Chinese to support the North Koreans.

Heritage is going to be having an auction focused exclusively on War comics.  I'm pretty excited to see where things settle out.  So far there are some pretty stellar offerings.  A War 11 in 7.5, the previous high offering was 5.5!  That's remarkable after over 20 years of CGC.  An 8.0 Battle Action 11 (scan not up yet), 7.5 Battle Action 15 (friggin tough book), the top census (7.0!) Battlefront 15, Men's Adventures 20 in 9.2!!!, War Adventures 13 in 8.0 (a 6.5 got more than $2k, jeez), and War 23 and 26 in 8.5 stand out to me so far.  Should be a nice barometer of where the market is.  I can't believe there hasn't been a War 11 offered publicly in even 6.0 before this.

Many 50’s war books are scarce in High Grade. Approved Comics #11 highest grade 7.5 Salida Pedigree. 

That's the only nice copy I've ever seen of that book.  War books fall somewhere between PCH and Romance when it comes to scarcity, but in terms of scarcity in grade they start to rival romance.  For many a VF is probably the best existing copy.

i am amazed that this is still the highest graded.. must not be much demand for "War Fury" other than issue #1
