Though I focus only on the war themed part of the run, I can personally attest to the difficulty of trying to find decent copies of this title. Its a bugger of a title to try and collect in anything approaching mid to high grade.

 

Yeah, just try and find a 23 or 25 in grade!

 

I heard that someone has a high grade 25 but just doesn't share

This weekend is going to be devoted to honoring the various mothers in my immediate family's collective life. As a result, my next offering will not hit the wires until Monday late afternoon, say around 5:00 PM PDT.

 

Many thanks to all who stopped by this evening.
