These "Completed my run" displays are one the greatest and some of my favorite things about these CGC chatboards !!!

This CGC 2.0 looks GREAT in the holder !!! what a GREAT cover too ! so much going on with this cover !!

The Japanese planes and especially their bombers were nicknamed by their own troops as "flying lighters"

this is because they lacked self sealing fuel tanks and even just one bullet could start a fire and bring down a Japanese bomber

No special method.  I have about a dozen comics that have been slabbed in the magazine size holders,  I just keep them flat on a shelf, not in the box with the rest of the run.

Fun run!  I only have a 14 since that's Russ Heath's first work.  I don't think I've ever seen a copy of #10 before.  That must be a rare issue.

Always liked this run, and have some issues from it. Underrated title and an awesome set to complete.

This collection is worthy of a CGC Golden age set award !

Mine, too.  Tremendous accomplishment.  Nearly all these books are really tough.  As a group, they are tougher than the Catman run, imo.

Unlike GAtor, who has the patience to dole out his Centaurs and Zips a day at a time, I'm just going to dump the whole thing out there at once.  Hope you see something interesting.  Now, on with the show.

That’s quite the dump!

Needless to say, there's absolutely no better way to start off a run than with the Edgar Church copy of a book.
