Disabled American Veterans Charitable Trust Auction!

Post by Intrepidxc »

I've decided to put together a charity auction to benefit The Disabled American Veterans Charitable Service Trust. For those that don't know I'm active duty military. Twice in my career I've been deployed to a combat zone (Afghanistan), although I've returned without any of the physical or psychological scars many veterans experience.

I am auctioning off 10 slabs. The proceeds from the slabs will be donated direction to the DAV Charitable Trust AND I will match the donation.

For those that want to know more about what the DAV charitable trust does here is a link.

http://cst.dav.org/

Additionally, the DAV Charitable trust is a highly ranked charity receiving 4 stars from Charity Navigator, including 4 stars for financial management and accountability/transparency.

https://www.charitynavigator.org/index. ... ic-Grouped

This auction will run from today through 1200 EST on Saturday 29 October. Shipping is included if highest bid, or total of your bids on multiple items, equals $150. If not add $15 for priority flat rate shipping.

I'm having some trouble with Imgur, therefore not all the pictures are available. I will upload missing photos by the end of the weekend. Strange lines in the center of some slab scans are scanner artifacts and are not present on the actual slabs.

Most pictures posted and bids updated. I can't find my scan of the Unity #1 1:200, but will scan it and post a picture when I get home.

Please verify your bids as of the time I posted. Thanks!

I am shipping books tomorrow for those that have paid. If you've paid, you have an email with your tracking.

I used a form PM when I sent out PMs to winners. If you won over $150, disregard the shipping costs. It's supposed to be free shipping over $150.

I'm waiting on one more payment and then I'll make the DAV donations. Thanks for all who participated. I will let everyone know once the donation is made.
