Thanks, the old Snipe'aroo is set!

Trooper,

 

Love the recent SSWS books you've posted.

 

Two more covers I've never seen before.

 

You have an awesome collection of books and I was wondering

when you started searching?

Trooper,

You have an awesome collection of books and I was wondering

when you started searching?

 

A year ago last month I believe. Not really sure.

 

Here's the Paratrooper Genesis:

 

I created the Forum ID Paratrooper before collecting trooper books. At that time I really had no collecting focus, just a bunch of moderns, and a slew of Green Lanterns that I loved reading as a kid. Reading tons of posts and threads with folks here who have a very focused collection, I thought I'd do the same. Seeing as how I have a user ID Paratrooper....went from there. And here we are, everything you see in this thread so far is pretty much a years worth of buying.

[Paratrooper]

Thanks to Angelo aka The Watcher he not only Identified a Trooper book I never knew existed but essentially sent it to me Free!

 

WW2: Hitler's Paratroopers

 

[Paratrooper]

Back from the most recent CLink auction is:

 

True Adventures #3 CGC 6.0

[TheWatcher]

I had to do a double-take to see the tropper in that cover. Very sweet book, by the way

Those "tropper's" are very very sneaky. (Last person in this thread to say tropper was MK )

[CAP Freak]

Aaaah.. memories.

[Scrooge]

Didn't see this one on your list. Already got a copy maybe?

[Paratrooper]

Just saw that in the short bus thread. Didn't even have that on my list! You sellin?

[Scrooge]

Sadly no It took me over 6 years and yet less than $ 5 to buy that book so I won't be letting that one go for looooooooong while.

[Paratrooper]

I understand, but thanks for showing me! ID'ing the trooper covers is almost as important as buying them.

[ft88]

Saw an ad in a Tracy book dated Dec 1955 for Sad Sack and Friends - clearly a trooper cover. Already own it?

 

Just looked it up, its issue #1 kind of cool.

[ft88]

Speaking of D.T. This looks to qualify. The only D.T. in a run of 145 to have a parachute

 

[Bonds25]

Didn't see this one on your list. Already got a copy maybe?

 

So does your collection now include anything with a parachute on the cover, or just paratroopers?

[Ebel 1911]

Speaking of D.T. This looks to qualify. The only D.T. in a run of 145 to have a parachute

 

 

Most of the DT covers I've seen are a big

 

This one actually looks interesting.

[Paratrooper]

Not really sure if I wanted to classify this issue as a trooper one...but made a low bid on ebay and won. So I'll keep and think about it later.
