vaillant Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Heh, there are a few really nice ones in Superman issues in that range… that’s why I asked about the content: I am really curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I just got this one in Congrats Jimbo I've bid on some of those "Billy Cloke" books as well at the Sunday Heritage auctions, but have yet to win one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Just got this in the mail today. $150 from a nice guy on eBay. He discounted it from $175. He said he found it at the bottom of a box of Sports Illustrateds that were at the local dump...I'd call it a solid VG+ to VG/F. Attaboy Brian I told you there were some good deals on Actions out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Well, what’s awesome about you US collectors is that you can easily phone to dealers or sellers – I could but my phone conversation english would not be so great, and I don’t know how it could work… Do these Superman war covers reflect the content in some way? I have been interested in war content since I restarted collecting comic books, but never bought a DC or a Timely so far and know little of the insides… Nope, the story had nothing to do with the cover.
