Battle Action 11 5.5? $100

Tough to call a grade on this one.  Structurally 6.5 or so, but the back cover is a little dirty.  The red on the BC is common on this book.  I should grab a bag of wonder bread and make it pretty.  But come on, you're buying this one for the front cover, which is pretty solid.

Battle 18 5.5-6.0 OW/W $500

Really solid copy of a difficult book to find in decent shape.  This copy has the best colors I've ever seen on this issue.  It's notorious for fading.  There's some pressable wear, but I think its ceiling is a 6.0, and I don't know that the grade would even change.  Great flamethrower cover in high demand.

Battlefield 6 see description $700

Looks like an 8.0 in the mylar and dripping with gloss.  However, the top 3/4 inch or so of the cover was exposed, diminishing going to the top right corner.  You can see better on the inside cover so I included a picture.  It's really hard to see unless you open the book.  The top 3/4 of the spine is split.  Back cover looks great.  I would expect this to fetch a good bit more at auction.

Battle 16 4.5 $200

It only took me 10 years to find an upgrade for this one. Very difficult book. Priced below market giveen comparable sales. Great appeal for the technical grade.  And an absolute killer Heath Hitler story.

Battle-Front 17 6.0 $650

This one is a very underrated book.  Compare it to War Adventures 12 and I think most people would favor this one.  It's one of what I call the "brooding Burgos" covers.  I absolutely love the iterative soldiers walking into the distance.  It's such an indictment of war.  I'm asking a fortune because I know how hard it is to find and it is bad-azz.  Light overall wear, nice paper.  Interior art is uniformly terrible lol

5.0 $50... Steal it.  Soiling BC.  One of my favorite Heath covers.  Looks better.

Battlefront 26 4.5 $150

Classic cover.  If you don't like this one, you don't like comics. 

This was a heartbreaker for me.  I thought it was HG but it has 2 book length creases that don't show well.  Regardless, a 5.0 just got $350 on eBay, so steal this one.
