I must pause to say, some of these covers are quite spectacular! :banana: and :yeehaw:

The cover of #2 has the Romance vibe, but since that one they shifted nicely to the Macabre/War themes, w/maybe a touch of Horror.  Very cool title that I don't know.

Yeah - I have never been much of a horror fan. I collected the title when I was a kid but traded them all away.

Since coming to boards, I got bit by the WAR COMICS bug (that pesky @thirdgreenham was mostly to blame.)

Now look where I am on Weird War Tales on the personal collection front:

Cool system, thanks for sharing. How do you note dupes ?

Cool system, thanks for sharing. How do you note dupes ?

I might make a margin note or split the box. 99% of the time, dupes/undercopies go to the sale boxes.

The only dupes I keep anymore are the ones that vary from each other - like missing a color plate, or just about any Charlton.

As for pence vs. cents, I usually keep the higher graded one.

I think I'm going to take a break here. Should be back much later tonight, after I'm all liquored up. :yeehaw:

Going to the Elks to drink beer and have a burrito, then back home for wife's bible study night.

Me and the heathen dog get locked up in the comic room during bible study, with a bottle of Wild Turkey.

It is a good opportunity to scan books, grade, etc. and listen to Bloodhound Gang. :headbang: 

Anyway, might be back around 9 pm pacific to post more books.
