I spent 3 years at Mildenhall back in the 80's. Some of the best years of my life.

Bought all my comics there, they all had a little star stamp on them.

 

Just thought I'd share that..... 893blahblah.gif

 

That is actually cool. thumbsup2.gif

 

The shop was 'The Stars & Stripes', yes?

I think the bookstore on EVERY overseas US military base is called "The Stars & Stripes". gossip.gif

 

Many a happy hour during my childhood was spent in a Stars & Stripes. cloud9.gif Actually, as a young officer too, but I couldn't let my troops seeing me geek out over a bunch of comics, so I would just quickly and quietly grab them off the rack, pay for them and take them home. 27_laughing.gif

Are we still talking about comics? insane.gif

Ironic isn't it, that in certain contexts, comic books have to be treated as if they were skin mags! 27_laughing.gif Come to think of it, if I were buying skin mags in front of a bunch of soldiers, there would've been no need to hide them. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

OK, two weeks in and these are the books that remain unsold. Scans are still up for them somewhere in the thread, but if you have trouble locating them, ask and I'll repost them here. thumbsup2.gif

 

Thanks to everyone for their participation and I'm looking forward to seeing what goodies might be in box three and four! grin.gif

Any chance of Weird War Tales 22 and 34 in NM?

 

Sorry if I missed these initially. I haven't been keeping up with the whole thread.

 

893naughty-thumb.gif

 

Both these books are likely to be in the collection somewhere (and given the grades we've seen so far, 9.4s or better are not out of the question), but with there being 40+ boxes involved, and none of them in any sort of order, I have no idea when they might surface. sorry.gif

How did this guy stand not having these books in order in his boxes? Man, with my OCD's that would kill me. crazy.gif

Only about 2/3 of my 40 boxes are sorted in order... confused-smiley-013.gif

 

Jim

I dont have near that many boxes, but all of them are in alpha order and sorted by title. Plus, they are all in the same type bag and board.

Here's the breakdown...

 

10 x Alpha sorted boxes of comics I take to shows

15 x Alpha sorted boxes of my main collection

15 x Boxes of my main collection not sorted whatsoever. Though I have an idea of what is in what box. Finding a comic takes a little looking but not as long as you'd imagine.
