Para, those are hot.

 

Maybe this is too forward, but what were the prices like on those... ie, did you pay a hefty Metro/pedigree premium?

 

I love the Heath greytone on AAMOW #110... one of my fave covers from this era.

 

Shep

 

 

Actually, the prices on all those books were well below what we'd expect to pay for them. Waaayyyy below, for instance: I paid only $30 for the AAMOW #10. I'm telling ya, they must have had close to 75 SA DC war peds and they all sold almost immediately. Hell, I wanted to go back and buy more...but they were sold out

Andy, I'd also like to know what you think of the color on that book relative to the scan he had with the auction. His other books looked faded, but I couldn't tell if it was just the scanner.

 

The books in hand don't appear faded, but I can no longer compare them to the original pictures, as they are now removed.

thanks

Hmmmmm.... depends on how it presents. That book in nice FN is a $30 -$40 off ebay when no one is looking. But if it's really sharp VF-, with just small technical stuff knocking it down, I'd consider it.

 

 

[Monstro]

well i'll have to look at it again, but i believe it's more like a weak VF-

thanks shep

Nice books Paratrooper. I tried buying tons of books from metro at that point and they kept emailing me that they sold. Sweet stuff.

That book would be nice as a true VF- 7.5, and if it is, $90 is alright. The top notch books don't come around too often and usually don't last too long. Mind you, if that book really turns out to be a Fine/Fine+ then $90 is way too much. (IMHO)

 

Good luck!

I won his OAAW 104 and now I'm not even looking forward

to receiving it. I thought I heard someone mention he was a board member?

 

Andy, if your 7.5 OFF 70 looked like that then I hate to see what my lowly

FN- copy is going to be like. The packaging has me worried too with

Canada's Posts' usual treatment of my poorly packaged books.

 

That's e-bay for you and I guess if we play the game we sometimes

pay the frustration that goes along with it.

 

I sure wish I spent that 50.00 on not a bad looking Millie cover that

recently ended for under 50.00.

 

Well, he's got some more books up right now http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZtennislookin

 

Lots of nice graded ones, and an assortment of raw. If the seller's reading this right now

He sure does have some nice books up for auction and the

OAAW 105 looks pretty sweet. I'm sure I won't be disappointed

about my book and I'm hoping it will be nice.

Positive thinking!! (thumbs u

Wow, I don't think this thread has gone a day without someone posting something in weeks....then I made this post and no one has posted for a couple days. Do you guys think this book is the same as this one (same seller-see his feedback) I think it is.

 

same book?

[Fazybones]

I think it's the same book most likely returned by the original

winner. Different picture and the book looks the same although

this time the picture is terrible.

 

I bought a book on e-bay and seen the same book in the seller's

recent feedbacks and questioned this fairly new seller about the

FB for the book I won.

 

The FB was a refund from an unsatisfied buyer just very happy to

get his money back. He sure left glowing FB for a refund just like

this buyer if that is the case.
