I am a private collector offering my 100% genuine autograph of WWII naval ace Capt. WILLIAM MAGILL COLLINS, USN (1911-1979). Collins served with VF-8 aboard the USS Bunker Hill (CV-17) during WWII. He was awarded the Navy Cross and four DFCs for his exploits which included downing nine enemy planes. He was a 1934 USNA graduate. This is a signed FDC in good condition with normal signs of age and handling. VERY SCARCE!!!!

  Please read the entire listing carefully. If you have questions for something not already in the listing ask them before buying. Won't respond to questions where I already took the time to put the answer in the listing. Likewise I don't respond to questions that revolve around lowball offers. My prices are more than fair.  Look at the photos as they are part of the description. Combined shipping is a given.

  I don't use the Best Offer option. I won't send out offers to perennial watchers either. I will give the absolute best price I can from the door. It's the bottom line, no wiggle room price. If an item doesn't sell within two 30-day listing cycles it will be replaced.

Accepting want lists for military signatures. Serious buyers only. I'm recovering from a stroke and have zero patience or wherewithal for dealing with game players and time wasters. No low ballers, hagglers, know-it-alls, self-proclaimed historians, supposed relatives, or others who think lame bargaining ploys will net them gold for the price of tin.

I am not a dealer. I am not running a business. I am a private collector. I have no overhead or a driving need to sell. But I have been collecting military signatures for about 60 years now. Due to health issues, I'm offering these items solely as a means to downsize my accumulations and share with fellow collectors while I still can. I don't ask for full retail or top dollar, but I won't sell for a price that is unfair to either of us. If you want my help with your collecting I'm here. If not that's cool too.
