ciorac Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I paid $1875 while it guides at $2880.... so I only paid 65% of guide for it. Another copy also in 7.5 sold for $2325 only a week later, so I'm extra happy with mine. As well you should be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvers24 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Bet they won't be your last! Welcome to the fold! They won't be. But for now, it is. Unless I can pickup GA Detectives, and Batman, for about the same price as I pickup my ASM's. or other books, I won't worry about it. But I do tell you, owning these are awsome.

Comicdey Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Their nothin special. But their my first. Paid $0.75 each for them. That wonder woman issue would make you some money on ebay even in low grade if all the pages are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvers24 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Yep, all the pages are there. The cover is not attatched and split in half however. If I knew an esitmate of what I can make out of it. THEN YES I'D SELL IT. But I will keep Woody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazmuth Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Got this one ealier this week off ebay. I've been sorta working on a run of the comic sized ones for a few years, but havent put a lot of effort into it. Now that I have the #1 though.... I might have to finish it off. They're dirt cheap on ebay right now (or at least compaired to guide, which is obviously a little high). I had my eye on this auction and I was shocked that it went for that low. I think you got a GREAT deal there, congratulations I just finished my mad run about a half a year ago and now I'm actively upgrading. There have been some nice ones on ebay recently. I won the 9.2 #20 last week, I'll post a picture when it comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquirecomics Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Picked this one up this weekend at a local show. Really like the cover. The first story is also an atomic bomb story so I could technically place it in my Cold War collection! I'm thinking of possibly collecting the run of this title. Nice combination of my interest in comics and history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquirecomics Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Also picked up this copy which is the last issue of the title. Overstreet lists it as "rare" though Gerber only assigned it a "7". Either way, you don't see it often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquirecomics Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Another example of why I love comics so much as they enable you to so often combine interest. I've been a stamp collector for as long as I have been a comic collector. I am now pulling together a run of this title, which is only eight issues. The final issue is the rarest and I was fortunate enough to recently obtain a copy which I will post. An extra beauty of this book is that my grandfather, Rabbi David Max Eichhorn, was a friend and WWII colleague of the Chaplain who perished in 1943 as part of the cover scene.

esquirecomics Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 This is an Australian copy. Not sure which US title it is copying offhand. Only the cover is in color. Interior is B/W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice combination of my interest in comics and history. I know Anthony Wayne was mad, but an atomic bomb? Seems beyond the pale! The Real Life covers were drawn by Schomburg and there's nary a bad one in the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice combination of my interest in comics and history. Mark, I had a similar reaction to this Real Life #13...Schomburg War & Flag cover with a Yank beating up on a Nazi and Jap (simultaneously!) and hints of Politics (Geaorge Washington?), Sport (Ross), Business (Westinghouse) and Law (Cromwell). Sword, Rifles and Pistols. Pedigree book to boot. What's not to like? Would probably even make a good avatar... GE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice book! I also had this reaction with Real Life # 4 - Joan of Arc, Charles DeGaulle, WWI poilu, French Revolution and invading nazis all by Schomburg - and here's another Stamps with the classic Iwo Jima imagery - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had this reaction with Real Life # 4 - Joan of Arc, Charles DeGaulle, WWI poilu, French Revolution and invading nazis all by Schomburg - No, Eifel tower? What gives? I can see why you like it!

Is that copy yours or a swipe of a scan? I know; I was disappointed he couldn't find a spot for the Eiffel tower! Both the Real Life and the Stamps are my copies. In fact, I picked up the Real Life from the Marketplace here a couple of months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about fictional funny books. But it does look very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
