do they say MATE alot in the book?

 

Ha! actually they don't, I wonder if CGC would be willing to slab that Rangers #7 book? Do they slab foreign issues this old?

 

They slabbed a serbian walking dead #1for a customer. I would call and ask though since it's oversized.

Serbia produces it's own comics? Now I would like to see some of those.

 

Are my prices totally crazy, is that why no one's buying? I'll also take offers.

 

I have a croatian buddy that's going to get me some of his countries comics from when he was a kid. He's about 45 now.....I should ask him to look for paratroopers for you when he goes over their next summer.
