Hi, all.  Welcome to the tenth installment of my Below Guide™ series!  Thanks for stopping by.  This time around, I'll be offering a nice selection of extremely affordable Atomic Age War books.  Most will be priced below current Overstreet, and all are guaranteed to be unrestored.  Payment may be by PayPal, Cashier’s Check, USPS Money Order, or business/personal check (but please allow up to ten days for your check to clear).  Payment must be received within seven calendar days of being invoiced (unless other arrangements have been agreed to via PM).  All books will be shipped within two days of your payment (fully insured with delivery or signature confirmation).  The exact cost of shipping will be added to your order (for example, I can ship up to three books to a domestic address via boxed USPS First Class Mail for $5)Returns will be cheerfully accepted (provided that you alert me to the return via PM within one week of receipt), but the cost of shipping and return shipping will be on you.  International buyers are welcomed.  Miscreants, wankers, and folks currently on probation are not.

Battle #8 (Atlas; May 1952).  Grade = Qualified 8.0 VF or Universal 2.5 GD+ ow-wh.  Price = $50.
Intense Sol Brodsky cover.  Dave Berg, Paul Reinman, and Robert Q. Sale story art.  Probably a file or reference copy, as it appears unread.  Very little wear, aside from the three binder holes (which are well outside all story panels) and a non color-breaking paper-clip impression at the top-right corner.  Examples show how CGC treats this particular flaw.

Duty calls, but I'll be back at 5:00 PM Pacific this afternoon/evening for a fast-paced, 50-minute session.  What's on tap?  Around three-dozen pre-code (1952-54) and post-code (1955-58) issues by various publishers (mostly Atlas and Farrell, with a smattering of Avon, Harvey, Stanmor, Standard, and Ziff-Davis) in various grades, with prices ranging from $2 to $200 (but most under $20).  I hope y'all will be able to join me.  Until then!  :hi:
