War Comics 17 17

[comick1]

Richard, why don't you pass the time by playing a little game of solitaire?

 

Now what do you see, Richard? Do you see the Queen of Diamonds. Now listen very closely. I want you to expend ALL of your income ONLY on Timelys which are unseasonably cheap. Don't waste any more time messing with those nasty war books. Now I want you to repeat after me:

Timelys are the most wonderful, outstanding, underrated, reasonably priced comics I've ever known in my life.

Timelys, Richard.

Timelys.

 

Now finish your game of solitaire.

I am getting very sleepy....and dreaming of Timelys

Shameless Plug Alert!!!

 

Hi all... thinking of having a wee war comics sale on the selling thread this weekend... Probably going to be on Sunday. Maybe a dozen or so books, but there'll be some interesting things. I'll post a heads up here before it goes live.

 

We now return you to regularly scheduled programming...

I hate to whine and this year has been a rough one with one problem

after another and today our buddy Jeffro made all the problems I've

had just fade away.

 

I never thought I would have one of these Beauties in my collection

this year.

 

 

 

I just love it and my scanner doesn't scan slabs

very well and it's a CGC 3.0 and most of the flaws are on the

lower spine and IMO it looks nicer than a 3.0.

 

Thank you Jeff,

Thank you very much Andy and a little Birdie told me you had

a pretty big hand in this incredible act of generosity and along

with Jeffro, I can't thank you guys enough. (worship)

 

I owe you guys big time and will never forget this. (thumbs u

 

This is terrible on our WAR boards and tears of joy are flowing

down my cheeks as I type this and thanks again for helping me

forget this year.

 

 

I'm waiting for Troop to come on and say there is no crying on

our war boards.

[comick1]

That is the nicest 3.0 I've ever seen. Definitely has the eye-appeal of a 7.0 at least. Killer book, Fazy!

Hey Fay - welcome to the GIC #87 club!!!!

 

 

Also, heads up time. War books on the selling thread in about an hour - some nice books, too.

Thank you Mick, Mike, Shep and Richard.

 

I see you are still pulling down some awesome books Richard

and keep up the good work. Awesome books to look

at and dream about for one day when things start to swing my

way.

Credit where credit is due and Andy definitely deserves full credit for this one. After all, it was his comic. I consider myself merely the intermediary in this transaction.

 

Congrats Fay. Enjoy!

Jeff, you're right - those are awesome. Wonder where they came from... there were a few of similar vintage on ebay lately.

 

Anyone have any info?

A number of them just finished up on Heritage, I believe these are the same ones. IIRC, they sold in the $400-600 range.

 

They are cool, though. (thumbs u
