Silver Surfer Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 AWWW!!!! Man, What a freakin Classic!!! Congrats!!! Disturbing , that People did such Horrid things ! We should never forget & hopefully learn, "mankind" from it, that something like this ever happens again!! Ever!!!! It is a disturbing cover, and notably "timely" as this month is the 60th anniversary of the Russian liberation of Auschwitz. Period covers appeal to me as a reflection of different times - WWII covers, cold war covers, covers showing vintage automobiles and fashion, etc.,. That what I love about GA books, they really give you a perspective on the mind set of the western world back in the day. World War II was truly about fighting for one's country, true hero's. Unfortunantely wars today try and play on this theme but with little success in my mind. Hard to 100% endorse those brave soliders who have to put their neck on the line when really the main cause is more about commerce and gaining access to oil fields, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 While not as sweet a pick-up as Banner's Cap #46 - I recently aquired this All-Winners #14 on ebay from board member Dmac538. Graded by CGC as a 2.5 due to a loose cover, 1st 2 wraps and centerfold - It has great eye-appeal. I'm always happy when I can pick up a Timely with a Schomburg war cover that looks this nice for $200 including shipping (especially one with Cap on the cover).

esquirecomics Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Hey all, I had this $3,500 issue stolen from me today at the Washington, D.C. ComicCon. Please keep an eye out for it on e-bay or other auction sites. If anyone is offered a high-grade WW #20 for sale, please let me know ASAP. Could be that the thief breaks it out of the the CGC slab. DC Police were notified. CGC Id # is 0046666011. Page quality is Off-White to White. I can be contacted at (202) 498-0011 and/or the e-mail address below. Thanks!!!

Apotheosis Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 That sucks! I'll definitely watch for it. Here's one I just picked up... I love the colors on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Surfer Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Mark, What are those notations on the front cover or first page? That would pretty much give this book away, no? I would suggest that you post a separate thread (if you haven't already) in the general forum and the market place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it says something like "UB-8", or GB-8" followed by "11-30". So at least there will be a way to identify the book if it is set free.

panhandlefool Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 You may want to also inform CGC, in case it's "set free", then sent in for re-certification. I don't know how much help that will be, but from what I understand, the folks at CGC are straight-up people who most likely will do what they can to watch out for it.

PUNYHUMAN Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Just picked this up in the last week. Another one, I've been looking a long time for. Not easy to find these Nedors, as Jeff "Nearmint", on these boards will attest to. This goes along nicely with my Exciting Comics # 30, # 33, & # 39 Nazi Poison Candy Cover.One of the best IMO covers of the Golden Age!! Schomburg, went over the top on this one also.BTW, I remember Jeff posted his copy "higher grade "and it was a Beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearmint Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Actually, mine's just a 7.0. Is that the 8.0 that Metro had on their site? The color on yours is much better than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
