jeff - I have been buying comics since the early '70s (Jerry Bails was my mentor) and when I saw how my comic digest was packaged I had to let you know that I am happy, and impressed to no end! Postal-gorilla-proof packing, instant shipping, spot ON grading...what more can a comic nut ask for?! Thanks to limitations on just how much I can write for your feedback I had to restrain myself a tad, and then finally had to resort to a bit of creative editing to get it in there. So, for you, and your crew, job WELL done!!! I will definitely be checking in regularly on your auction. |

Attending the University of Georgia on the G.I.
