Okajima copy...

Just removed from the Fed Ex box. I've always loved this cover...

That is nice. I generally only buy Nedors with war covers, but that one is very cool.

Is that a pedigree? Beautiful book...

Just got this one from Metropolis. A solid low grade copy, and a great cover:

 

 

 

 

Edit: [!@#%^&^], there's still something wrong with my scanner. I'll try again!

Oh sure, keep us in suspense!

My mission in San Diego this year was to find either a Pep #20 or #27, raw or graded, restored or unrestored, but they were NOWHERE to be found. Several dealers laughed when I inquired about the books and said "Yeah, you're gonna have a tough time finding those."

Ah well...

Bounty from San Diego...

Outside of the miscut- that looks pretty nice for a 4.5. What keeps the grade down?

 

Great cover as well!

Just general wear. No other major defects.

Only a CGC 4.5, but you gotta love the flying torpedo cover!

I've been wanting this one for a while. One of my favorite Action covers. The contrast of the dark background and Superman's bright costume provides a 3-D effect that really jumps out at you.

NEDOR! Hundreds of beautiful Schomburg war covers.

I don't think you should exclude Fawcett though. I am astounded at what a bargain Fawcetts are, even in high grade.

I only bid on one book in the Heritage auction last week, and luckily won it. I already had a mid-grade copy, but this one is really sharp. I love books that have only one defect, and it's on the back cover...

Kudos to Blazing Bob for helping me upgrade one of my 80 Page Giants.

Kudos to Timely for selling me a book he just barely outbid me on months ago.

More kudos to Banner for a very sharp Detective #404. Thanks for the quick shipping.

NICE cover. A worthy addition to any collection...

Just when you thought this thread was dead, here's my first Golden Age first issue, purchases off eBay last week. It's a CGC 4.5...

Congratulations! I hope it's one of many. Schomburg covers are the best.

Jeff

I'd call that copy closer to 4.0...

I'm thinking about getting a Startling Comics 48 (love the Schomburg cover) that is around a 3.0/3.5...

Metro has a G/VG for $90, a VG+ for $135, and a NM- for $1600.

And guess what! They have a VF/NM Startling #12 for $1150. I wonder if it's the same copy I bought from them a decade or so ago for $110...

I really gotta find a better paying job.

I used to have reallly nice copies of Startling 12, 13, &14. Kinda wish I had those back...

 

I think I remember you selling these somewhere years ago!?! how's that for vague.

 

Timely

Yeah, I can't remember if I sold them through eBay or a CBG ad. Either way, it was years before CGC was on the scene.

The Startling #13 was the first Nedor I ever purchased. It was at the San Diego Con(in the old convention center), and it was a beautiful copy that I paid a whopping $90 for. A few weeks later I called Sparkle City and purchased every Nedor they had from the war years, mostly mid-grades for $20-$30 each.

I'm pretty sure that the Startling #12(nice Hitler cover) came from Metro for about $110. They currently have two Nedors that I'd like to have, one is $1000, the other is $1900. Yikes.

Ah, the good ole' days...

I used to have reallly nice copies of Startling 12, 13, &14. Kinda wish I had those back...

Another awesome transaction with Nearmint!

I received 6 CGC'd books in lightning speed, and they were packed beautifully.

 

Your payment was just as fast. Thanks Matt.

Just like Flying Donut, I also collect vintage postcards of my town, Newport Beach, CA. In the last four years I've accumulated about 350 cards from 1892 to the late 1950s. I have them organized in a couple of photo albums, and love to flip through them and then go for a walk and see how the area has changed.

I've always loved that Fighting Yank #10 cover. How did Metro grade it?

This was a grail book for me. The night that V2 of the Photojournal came out, I saw this cover for the first time and decided then and there to start buying Nedors. I finally found this great copy...
