Romantic Valentine's Day War Thread - Treat Your Sweetie!!! New books page 16 - Recap Page 1!! 2 2

[lizards2]

Details:  I can't think of a better topic for Christmas than WAR!!!  I'm going to depart from the usual, and do the Misc. titles first, then the Marvels, and then the DCs.   In honor of Valentine’s Day, I decided to bump this thread, and add a few books.  BECAUSE…., what better gift to give your sweetie than some classic WAR BOOKS!?!?!  I know, I know, you’d rather she read hot, Pro-Code Whoor books, but sometimes you have to quit thinking about yourself, and think about her for a change! 

The DCs are by far the most plentiful.  And yes I know, some of those Misc. titles aren't exactly war books, but they are here by virtue of their parachute covers. Because I collect those.  And, it's my thread. 

Shipping: I try to get you postage as reasonable as possible while protecting the merchandise.  But, you still need to pay for it.    Postage is what it is, and it ain’t cheap.  I am totally up for whatever makes it cheap – first class boxed on one to two books, removing backboards, outer wells and inner wells.  I just can’t ship media mail.  My zip is 97630, so if you’re in the West Coast postal zone, stuff ships cheaper.   I also ship to frostbacks, ‘roids, jimmers (  ) and elsewhere in the world. 

Payment: Checks & M.O.s are accepted.  Paypal begrudgingly accepted.  

Minimum Merchadise Order:  $20 - More than kind of arrogant. 

Agreements: Time payments are usually fine.  No H.O.S., P.O.S. or H.O.C. members, nor any puppy-kickers, butt-lickers, poopy-pants, etc.  Secret hand-shakers OK on a case-by-case basis.  

Grading: I have been in the hobby over 45 years.   If you see any glaring grading errors, please inform me via PM.  I try to be conservative, and have cracked about 350++ slabs.  However, I am not perfect..., in fact, my custom title explains it mostly. 

Return Policy: yep!

Doing it:  You can do it in the thread, you can do it via PM, you can do it in the road.  In the case of ties, it goes to the PM.

Blue Bolt V8 #3 5.5 OW/W pages $27.  URFC is a scratch, not a crease.  Big crease @ LRFC is a hard crease, but was folded in, so very little to no color loss – don’t know if pressing would help cure this or not.  Lovely copy, but I bought some pseudo-ped from October that is much HG.  SOLD!!!

Flying Nurses V2 #49, CGC 8.0 OW pages $95.  Just a beautiful cover, with parachutes, fire, and rescuing injured folks.  These Flying Nurses books are really tough in HG.  This copy appears to be 9.0 in structure, with no obvious creasing, but my guess is the typical Charlton PQ and age halo did it in.
