PM me you shipping info and payment preference. We can finish up the details by PM.
Will do, but hopefully we are JUST getting started here - very curious to see what other goodies you have up your sleeve.

Next up:
Cartoons for Fighters edited by Sg. Frank Brandt (published by Infantry Journal Inc., June 1945) 6.5" x 4.5".
This book contains over 350 cartoons and gags, including, to my knowledge, the first publication of Eisner's WWII Joe Dope comic strip (an actual strip, not the posters - how many here knew of it?) in a civilian oriented publication, also Caniff's Male Call, George Baker's Sad Sack, Bill Mauldin's Pulitzer Prize winning cartoon, Hank Ketchum's "Noman'sclature", Lou Clerico's "A Mournful Melody", Rose & Eastman's "Target Snafu", and numerous others. It is one of the best compilations of WWII cartoon art ever made pulling examples from military newspapers, magazines, training manuals, propaganda, and posters.
These things are not common. There are two on eBay. A very beat up, rusted staples, broken binding "Armed Services Edition" for $19.99 and DTA Collectibles is selling one that is not in as good a shape as the one offered here for $292.50. The major used bookseller sites have the DTA copy and two very beat up copies.
My price is much more reasonable than DTA: $150.00 or best offer.
I'll take this - thanks Alec!

The only one I can locate is Paul Gustafson. But I'd kill for a Bill Everett poster.
Can we see it, por favor?

Quick quiz: Can anyone here name a major Timely artist who did a WWII poster?
I wanna say Bill Everett, but that is definitely a guess. I feel like I saw Everett sigs on some pretty racy WWII posters before, but not sure that was Bill…

It’s worth a lot to me! I have so few of these square bounds, you are so right, no evidence of any staples on the back covers of any of them. Front cover completely split, 3 staples added after production. Thanks a lot for clearing that one up.
I’m this case, 1.5 fo sho.
Still a very fun read!

Yes I think there is a certain point where it’s very difficult to tell from photos. I will say that, in person, there was no doubt to me that this was a 9.2/4, just because of how it literally felt brand new when I held and read it.
Really Fun To read these reactions.
That must have been the most amazing experience (in hand). For a man who obviously needs little advice here - I will just say - cherish all these moments - they are fleeting and I suspect you will remember things like holding it in hand more than the cash itself 10+ years from now. You deserve this homie. Now, GET PAID! Nice pickup with picky btw- I see you are “starting early” in putting this payout to good use

love everything about this .
I feel we should crown thee “Sir Corvonie”, after this win .

You are almost a boardie.
but once I hit 1k… how will I regain meaning in my life, in the absence of such an ambitious and auspicious goal to strive toward?
