DC War Collectors

 

I wanted to let you all know that Heritage will list in its upcoming auction next week an OAAW #85 and #88 from my collection. These were graded by CGC as 7.5, but during encapsulation the books were rejected because of overhang. As you all know, these two issues are very difficult to find in a decent grade.

 

I have several hundred more DC war books being graded at CGC and with a little luck many will be the highest graded.

 

Good luck!

I have taken a break from buying to save for the holidays, but I could not pass this up. I just have to make sure I get it home from the po box without the little lady seeing it. I'm very pleased to get this book in this grade. I hadn't even seen the book until about 2 hours before it ended.

Really nice... ebay or Heritage? Or was it on the clink?

That was a Heritage auction.

Doh, I am always the bridesmaid never the bride! I missed on all my bids Kagemusha.

 

Did anyone besides golddust win any of those war books on the ebay two days ago? I think the sellers name was Zilla something or other. Anyways, he had some nice looking war books as well as other DC raw that went for some pretty high dollar amounts considering how they were advertised. I got a few but regret not going crazy on those books.

Apparently I am a little late for the party. I should have looked back a couple pages.

[bigfiver69]

I wouldn't feel toooooo bad about missing a lot of the zilla books.... personally, I thought a lot of the prices were high. It's always a bit of a feeding frenzy when a series of nice books appears. Everyone piles on, and when you start losing out on the first few as the auctions begin to close, consolation bidding starts driving everything up.

 

I put in some healthy bids, and lost. But my consolation is that I didn't overpay on anything!

That's true.

Hello guys,

 

I have been reading these boards for a while and somehow missed this thread. I was one of the guys who went crazy on Zilla's auction. I do feel a little selfish (and poorer), but a small part of me regrets the others that I bid on that I didn't win.

I have bought several comics from Zilla and have always been happy. I have found him to be an extremely fair grader with exceptional service and packaging, so he gets a big bump from me (and others I think) for Ebay safety. I have a couple of sensational war books at CGC that I bought from him earlier this year and I will post them when I get them. (Tease)

 

I had to really pay for the privilege but I am most looking forward to reading this beauty.

Hey Mick....

 

I know, I know, I know... what is it with the G.I. Combats in the 60s? I have decent copied of nearly all the issues in the 50s and 70s, but not a single 60 (I sold my mid-grade 68 last year, and still haven't replaced it)

 

Distribution issues, collector hoarding, or plain old 'never got saved'?

Great book Canickus! Welcome aboard. You'll meet some great, knowledgeable war comic fans on this thread.

Ouch! They'll pry my copy from my cold dead hands. And then I'll reanimate as a zombie and eat their brains and take the comic back.

[Jeffro.]

Welcome Canickus. This thread will make you drool and then be sick. And then be sick while drooling. Or is that just me? Where's my damn bib?
