I took this Pic tonight for the group shot thread and hope it's okay to show it again on the SA war thread. Just a few of my favorite Rock covers. None are really HG, but I love them all the same.

All of those are killer covers and stories! Can't go wrong with Kubert Rock stories!

Thank you very much guys!! Coming from some of

my idles regarding war comic book collectors is truly an honor.

Hey Fay, what number is that book where Rock's on the barbed wire? Cool looking cover and it doesn't look familiar.

 

Cheers!

It's number 107 and probably my favorite cover these last few months. I just upgraded it a few months ago and it's about a FN/VF. It's an awesome cover, but there's so many in that category. The one I'm after next is 105 if I can find a nice copy.

[thirdgreenham]

Great book, after checking, I see that I do have one. Good luck on your #105!

 

 

I'm looking for a pretty good list of DC war books and I'm going to make a post in the WTB section tomorrow. If anyone has any extras, please check my list and let me know.

 

Thanks everyone!!

I love th cover to #107.... I got a nice solid FN+ a few years back off ebay for $12. It's just an awesome cover.

 

In related news, I said goodbye to my comics yesterday as I saw them loaded into the moving van to be shipped to my new home in Ontario. I was a little nervous, but upon describing how they were packed, the mover said 'safe as kittens'. Here was my method.

 

Every comic went into a mylite, sealed with tape, and then into a 4 ml mylar with two backing boards. They were all tightly packed into short boxes, with bubble wrap on the inside sides and top. Box was sealed, wrapped in more bubble wrap,and then sealed into a contractor-grade poly bag. This was then placed into a larger cardboard box with 4" clearance on all sides, and filled with polybeads or scrunched up packing newsprint. The other box was then sealed, and finally shrink wrapped. I saw them then loaded into the container, where they were packed into the centre of the shipment (least movement there, according to the shippers).

 

Oh, to be safe, I insured everything at double guide.

Poor guy...If you believe that they'll make it there fine, then they'll make it there fine. If you're worried about them getting damaged in shipping, then something may happen. Shep, you're packing methods are fantastic and your books are as safe as safe can be. Stop worrying and start getting excited about your new place in Ontario.

Good luck to you Shep. I'm sure with your packing methods, everything will come thru to your new place in tip top shape.

Just acquired: OAAW #90 and #102 both in FN as placeholders until I find better copies. The price was right.

When you're ready to unload those FNs, lemme know!

Oh... and thanks for the comforting words on my packing guys... I slept fine last night. I've got a really cool idea for setting up my comic room in the new house. When I get it all going, I'll post some pics.

A couple of G.I. Combats from a batch of readers I got today. Average date Feb 1960, average price about $5!. The way I like them -- complete, nice enough grade to admire and hold together in one piece, low enough grade to read or toss on the scanner with impunity.

 

GIC 41 from the end of the Quality run, "first Silver Age issue", 3rd last at Quality, probably Dillin/Cuidera artwork.

 

 

And GIC 53, the 10th DC issue, Grandenetti cover?

Good reading material -- especially for what you have to pay for them!

[thirdgreenham]

That's for sure!!
