kimik Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I just picked this up on Sunday. It has a tear seal on the back cover, but overall is a very nice copy. I am pretty sure I paid too much ($285), but the colors and Schomburg cover are what sucked me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardo Numspar Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Here are my recent pickups. First, from a fellow boardie. Talk about a great war cover. A nice little addition to my WW2 Schomburg MM run. I think this was the last German war cover. Another pickup from the sales forum. I think Im going for a run of these. Last but not least - "The Wheel of Death" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Here are my recent pickups. First, from a fellow boardie. Talk about a great war cover. I thought long and hard about that one. If you see any slobber marks on it, they're mine. I think Im going for a run of these. Sparky Watts by Boody Rogers is a great strip, well worth breaking into the Mylar for. Nice pick-ups!

GreatEscape Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Congrats, Sardo! Those Big Shots are terrific. Even better, I see Big Shot #57 is an unlisted Flag cover...a new one for my list. GE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GE Isn't that an interesting cover? I love the war bond message and the hitler mask on the kid. Very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I just picked this up on Sunday. It has a tear seal on the back cover, but overall is a very nice copy. I am pretty sure I paid too much ($285), but the colors and Schomburg cover are what sucked me in. I think that is a very significant cover. Schomburg must of had a reason for doing another cover so similar to his first. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inaflash Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Picked this cool book up in the weekly Heritage auction. I have always loved this cover and keep trying to find upgrades. I am pleased with this copy as Heritage graded it raw as a F+ and I think it is a little better than that. The first story has great artwork as well.

As for the raw grading at Heritage, I have never been less than completely satisfied, and I have bought many raw books from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hi Vern. Yes, it was from Ferd. He had those two Thrilling issues with Schomburg/Xela covers as well but this one had the nicest cover as far as I was concerned. I did not catch the tear seal the first look at the book, but luckily I nailed it on the second pass so he dropped the price by $100. It sounded like he was willing to move on the Caps on Sunday - did you come back for a second day? Cheers, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
