It's a Canadian Edition.. at least I'm 90% sure. I google image searched "Fighting Yank #12" and one of the first results was an old eBay listing with "Fighting Yank #12 (10) Canadian Edition" and it has the same cover/yellow box around the number. Not sure if we can post links on here, but this is the old eBay sale: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/fighting-yank-12-10-schomburg-xela-bondage.

One last price drop.. $5,500. Otherwise I'll hang on to it for a little longer.

Are thick double covers not attached?
Action252Kid replied to jdwright1284's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
Makes sense for sure. The outer (double) cover would've typically been stapled-on, but since the covers were glued-on for the thick books, rather than attached by staples, just the inside cover would've been hit with any glue. The two covers would've been inadvertently stuck together during the assembly process and just the inner cover would've ever touched the glue. Now if you saw a "double cover" with the outer cover glued-on to the inner cover.. I'd be suspicious that it was a "manufactured" double cover! -
Thanks guys.. going to bump this one time and I'll lower the price down to $6k before trying to sell it elsewhere.

It certainly has all the telltale signs off being a scam (old account, almost all feedback more than a year old and not as a seller, zero comic buying or selling history). Scans look legit, but this same copy has sold three times in the 2013-2014 period, so I'd say there is a better than 50/50 chance that they were lifted from an old sale. It would be a great score if it's legit, but I would say it's most likely a scam.

eBay The eBay Official eBay Thread eBay
Action252Kid replied to IntoAnother's topic in Comics General
Not sure which one of the eBay threads is meant for complaining.. but this was the first one I saw! Ran into a very odd situation that has never come up for me before. Buyer wins auction Sunday night, a few hours later emails me saying that her identity had been stolen, her neighbor hacked her email and internet and was bidding on stuff on her eBay account and that she would not be honoring the transaction. I don't buy it, but what can I do other than send a 'request to cancel transaction' through eBay with the reason of "buyer changed mind or no longer needs item"... wait a few hours after that and the buyer declined my request! So I emailed them again saying what's the deal, YOU asked me to cancel it. And she responded saying she didn't actually deny my request, someone else did, and to send it again. And that's when I learned that apparently you can NOT send a cancelation request (or even open an unpaid item case) after your first request has been denied. Long story short, there is a huge loophole here for getting out of a transaction without getting an unpaid item strike against your account. You win something and decide you no longer want it, just contact the seller and politely ask them to cancel the sale.. then just deny their request, and the seller can no longer file an unpaid item dispute against you. I got eBay to get me my fees back, but it required a phone call and it was a hassle.. so I would definitely add this to the list of dumb eBay policies that screw over the seller. -

Help | Funny Animal Books and Original Artwork
Action252Kid replied to BrooklynComics's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I like that Picklepuss page! It almost looks like a Terry Toons page with Sourpuss, but it's not. I tried searching online and couldn't find Picklepuss anywhere, but I wonder if it could be from a mid-1940's issue of Ha Ha Comics or a similar title like Barnyard Comics. That would be my guess. The comics don't have a ton of value. The most expensive one would be the Land of the Lost since it's an EC; then probably the Funny Stuff #18 (1st Dodo and Frog appearance). The rest are probably $10-30 type books, but cool stuff!- 2 replies

My scans usually come out dark like that too.. and (on a Macbook) I open them in Preview and just click Tools -> Adjust Color -> Auto Levels.. and that gets them bright like in person.

WOW! Congrats! Looks like a beautiful coverless copy, and signed too!

I'm not exactly sure how PayPal is defining a "payment card", but I would be shocked if there was a way to turn off this ability (assuming "payment card" means credit/debit card). I always pay with a credit card (might as well take advantage of the free cash back perks), and not once have I not been allowed to do this. If you're selling on eBay and getting paid through PayPal, I'm certain that this can't be turned off -- if you are accepting PayPal through your own site or board sales, it might be possible but I would be pretty surprised.

I had a really nice copy of #128 that I sold last year, and I regretted selling it immediately after it was gone. The colors looked so cool with that black background and the bright lettering. I never realized that it was such a tough issue, until after I sold it and tried to find another one. You'd think that there should be some Crowley File Copies out there, but I can't say that I've ever seen one.

I have sold stuff on eBay to people who live within a mile or two of the post office where I drop off my eBay items for shipment. I've been tempted a few times to hand-deliver the books myself (or put the package in their mailbox myself), but I ended up just shipping them anyway just so that I'd have the tracking/proof of shipment and delivery from the post office. Never an actual neighbor though, that's crazy!

The short flathead screwdriver definitely helps -- I just tried it out this morning, and it was the first new slab I've been able to split cleanly down the side. Thanks for that suggestion (and the video) -- definitely much better than how I was doing it originally (it was not a pretty sight!).

Feds: NY man enlisted thieves, sold comic book loot on eBay
Action252Kid replied to Designer Toast's topic in Comics General
I like that show, even though it seems like 99% of the cases on there are some form of a Ponzi scheme. Of course my stupid DVR didn't tape last night's episode, ugh! I'll have to find it on demand. -
I thought to myself the other day.. "I wouldn't be surprised if it went for $10k." Guess I was off by a dollar! I wonder if the winner needed the centerfold, and we'll see the rest of the book (with the full WW story) up for sale again soon.

Is this All-American Comics Trimmed?
Action252Kid replied to Mister O's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I would say almost certainly NOT trimmed. It might have a slight miscut to it (based on the pics on eBay) along the top edge, but that's no big deal and not uncommon on Golden Age books. Cool book!
