War Comics 17 17

[Jaymole]

And now I can join the DC 10 cent war club!!

 

Welcome to the club. Nice to have you. Now that you have one war comic might I suggest you move your focus to superheroes?

 

 

 

 

 

... that's my problem, as soon as I join a club, the members want me out

[Jaymole]

Great first DC 10 center and welcome to the club. (thumbs u

 

 

 

That book is a beauty and congratulations.

 

Many thanks Fazybones!

Well, I think I did wonderfully on this particular book. Star Spangled War Stories #38, highest graded copy at 7.5. Other than being a great book, earlier 10 cent DC war, it boasts the first Russ Heath cover (for DC war). For only $90!

[thirdgreenham]

My bid for this book was $444. I wanted it badly. So you can imagine how excited I was to win it for $90.

Lots of nice Kubert, Heath, Drucker, Grandenetti, and A&E art all over the place. They reprint plenty of Rock, but as Marc said, there's quite a bit of other stuff including Haunted Tank, Mlle Marie, Johnny Cloud, etc. There are quite a few non-character driven stories (mostly backups or pre-Rock).

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help, you guys are cool! (thumbs u

I haven't posted anything in a while. Here's one. I remember my Dad bringing me a copy of this issue home from work to cheer me up when I was sick. I probably still have it. I actually saved all the war comics I had as a kid. I was a regular war monger.

Here's another.

Those are beautiful, Jack.

Thanks Andy.

I was going to bid on a few 50's DC war books in the CLink auction as I still don't own any, but because of a bid I placed on a ASM which unexpectedly won, I ended up having the money to pick only one book to seriously bid on. I picked the cover I liked most in the auction, and ended up over-paying, but I now own my first DC 10 cent war book:

 

Congrats (thumbs u That is a great book...and one of my favorite covers as well.

Thanks, much appreciated!

 

It's books like this which make it easier to sell some of my other books to pay for it as they simply don't measure up to the same pleasure I get from owning it.

Great book, Jay. That definitely is one of the coolest covers! I think you got a pretty good deal, really.

So, thumbing through the new OPG to check prices, and I notice that SSWS #84 is still radically underpriced.

 

$450 for a 9.2?

 

Yeah, ok.

 

I'll gladly pay double OPG for one.

Double would be one heck of a deal. Realistically, that book would sell for $4000-$5000. (thumbs u

Hence my "offer".

 

 

I had typed up a whole response, quoting GPA, but stupid Explorer froze, and it was all lost. But the last sale of the 9.0 was $1955 last fall.

 

I already bid on yours.

Yep, I paid $1955 plus buyer's premium. I forget what that was....10-15%, I think. Cost was $2200-$2300. I still figured that was a decent deal as the book was a $3000 book in my mind. I don't think we'll see a 9.2 or 9.4 of this book for years, if not ever. Mind you, only time will tell.

 

My SSWS #85 CGC 7.5 is currently sitting at $1. Could be a steal?

Great book, Jay. That definitely is one of the coolest covers! I think you got a pretty good deal, really.

 

Thanks! I am still too attached to Overstreet prices on 9.2 and under books....I have to learn that sometimes it is not overpaying to pay more than guide for these books.

I missed out on so many beautiful books from the original Keith Marlow collection because I was too attached to the frikken OSPG. Boy, I wished I kept that book closed.
