Now that would be a site to see! If ever you feel like parting with a nice VFish copy, feel free to shoot me a PM!

 

I need an upgrade on that one too!

Sorry- all are in lower grade. I sent a couple off to CGC in the summer (mostly for a resto check), and they came back a 5.0 and a 6.0...

I have multiples of some issues, but I never go more that three deep.

 

Did have two NICE (One 5.5 another 6.0+) of G.I. Combat #87, but wound up selling the lesser copy.

 

I recently sold about 150 bronze age DC war doubles, all issues that I have upgraded. I was going to keep them as reading copies, but they just sell so well!!

 

I do have multiples of quite a few Our Army at War books, but I'm keeping them all. Whenever I get a REALLY great copy, I try and keep a nice undercopy so I don't have to be poking at the good one.

 

My biggest multiple? I have about 12 copies of Camelot 3000 #1, all NM. Got them for 25 cents a piece in a bargain bin, and it's a book that I remember fondly from my youth (I remember seing them in 1985 for $20 a pop!) I also have about a half a dozen NM+ copies of Twisted Tales #1. Don't ask me why.
