If the image is correct (Battlefront #23, 3.0 GD/VG @ $15) .  If the image is wrong, I'll pass. 

Indeed it is wrong - the Battlefront I still have is a #46 - my apologies!!! 

Did I tell you my latest photophucket woes? After all that trouble with their servers last year...., a few months ago, they moved everything.  What I mean is they renamed thousands of my files, and broke all my links, both in full size scans and in the thumbnails.  It's taken me forever just to unscramble my image files, get them into a logical order, and recapture all the coding for full-size and thumbnail files.  I probably spotted "Battle Front" and thought, 'That's it!'  

I will get that book fixed!

I think that is it for 12, 15 and 25 cent GICs.  I've got a metric carpton of 20 centers and up, even thru to the copper age, or whatever they call the cut off for this forum.  When I get to those, I will add those to a satellite thread out in Mixed.  By the by, have you noticed all the activity in Mixed lately?  I think it is the busiest it has ever been!  Good news for us filthy Dustbowlers!!!  

Right now, it is dawg wokking time, but I promise to be back in a few hours to add more books!
