The recovery of third-party encapsulation and grading expenditures when an asset is acquired at a discount below the physical cost of replacement grading fees, shipping, and insurance.
Billy Batson is reporting on the front lines of the Korean War, finding that Communist forces are using some kind of lightning weapon to attack UN forces in the Yangdee Sector! Once finished, Billy calls SHAZAM to summon Captain Marvel who starts flying into the path of lightning bolts and using old tanks to take the hits. He rolls up barbed wire and posts, tossing the electrified wires into the North Korean lines. Captain Marvel is soon informed that the brutal Red Crusher escaped UN custody and is likely the heart of this and they soon find him out at “Position X” trying to use his own lightning gun to melt American soldiers. Captain Marvel punches him over, but he fires his Lightning Gun into Captain Marvel's face, blinding him a moment. The North Korean Army are able to hold him back by driving tanks at Captain Marvel while the Red Crusher escapes. He activates his Lightning Machine to create another storm while Captain Marvel tears apart a tank to make a giant lightning rod that absorbs the incoming electrical blasts. Captain Marvel returns Billy, who sneaks his way towards the Lightning Machine, but is knocked out by a North Korean soldier. Billy wakes up, as usual, bound in an ad hoc Korean prison camp where the Red Crusher prepares to turn him into a charred corpse with his Lightning Gun. Billy manages to tilts his head up that lets him speak and call SHAZAM, summoning Captain Marvel who flies off to find the Red Crusher is creating Ball Lightning that he has to punch to break up, then uses a large glass chute that route the ball lightning into the Korean camp and destroys the Red Crusher's plane, crashing it into the ground and destroying the Lightning Machine aboard it. Captain Marvel reports he died and he's commended by a military official. Later, Billy finds that all that static charge has been hard for him to fix his hair with, but it saved his life!
