GI Combat 210 - And sorry about the various sizes on the cans, gents - still trying to figure out sizing with my new scanner.

 

I'll post some more GI Combats later.

Slowly making progress on getting SSWS 151 and up in VF or better (hopefully, with most at VF/NM or above).

 

I had seen this one on Mile High for a while, but it looked like a bottom corner piece was loose in the slab so I never pulled the trigger. Took a chance and bought it and the corner looks like an odd production error instead of normal damage.

 

It is like a piece of the cover that is in addition to where the cover would normally end - like it wasn't a clean cut and this little bit is still hanging on. I dunno - doesn't bug me enough for me not to keep it.

Weird,

 

That's a killer-nice copy.... don't sweat the 'hanging chad'. Takes nothing away from the book.

 

Question - do you keep your CGC books slabbed, or do yo break them open? As for myself, when it's a book for my collection (ie never selling it as long as I live) I take it our of the case.

 

But I keep the cgc slip!

Shep,

 

In the SSWS run (including a 144), I have 5 slabbed books so far. For storage and protection, I have left all of them in the slabs. I will probably break them out at some point and save the labels as you have done. My Oakland SSWS books look fine in mylar and the others would too.

 

I have been wondering lately if CGC will ever put up a SSWS 151 on up Registry set (or Bronze OAAW/Rock, GIC, OFF, or US - for that matter). Even though I am not into the Registry thing, that may prompt me to start slabbing my high grade/pedigree copies in the run. SSWS would probably be the only title I would do that with.

Here's some more to round out the Bronze Age GI Combats.

 

GI Combat 143

G.I. Combat 151. This is a weak VF, and it took me years to find. If anyone has a nicer one, lemme know.

Cant' resist, even though it's not bronze. But man how can you not love this book? First Haunted Tank by Kanigher and Heath.

 

If anyone has a VF, lemme know.
