Jeffro. Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 These books are super without necessarily being Super. DC will soon be soliciting for a Showcase volume of The War that Time Forgot. Can someone knowledgeable tell me if the stories are readable 40 years later? Zonker? Anyone? PM Bigfiver69. I'll bet he could give you some insight.

steelcity Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I think I've already posted all mine. buy more I guess I could post this one. Didn't really feel entitled to post it since I've never actually even held it in my hands. This is such a beautiful book and what an incredible price it finally went for on the Heritage auction. What impressive buying power. And the price on the Action #285, too. Gasp! That book is nothing like as tough as the Flash, with high grade copies reasonably available so what a price shock. Well done if you did buy the Flash, tth2, though I know you sold your Flash books recently so maybe it's someone else. I suspect my days of buying high grade SA DC are quickly coming to an end!

No, I wasn't the buyer, I was the seller. I made a deal for it with its owner, and then it went straight from the owner to CGC and then onto Heritage, which is why I'd never even held it in my hands. My days of buying high grade SA DC have already come to an end. Just can't hack the prices anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ft88 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Whatever happened to the theorey that 60's DC in high grade were more common than Marvels. Clearly this is not the case. The theorey comes from my memory of a 1980's Overstreet article. Back in the 60's it was the cool marvels that were read and thrashed where the DC's were never touched. I suppose its simply not true at the 9.0 and above level. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be honest with you, never liked the War that Time Forgot, and I don't own a single dino book! There is some nice Heath art in there, though.

Shep Given that those Showcase books are so inexpensive, I might pick it up anyway. On a side note, why are they doing this book BEFORE a showcase Losers book?

shiverbones Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I really like the war that time forgot, infact they are the #1 books on my DC war want list. The combination of soldiers & dinosaurs is about the most perfect combination for an 11 year old. Of course, I like goofy books, but I think they are great!
