Disabled American Veterans Charitable Trust Auction!
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.

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.
