80's? No doubt. Through the early 90's? Maybe. Certainly, though, newsstands from the late 90's-mid 2000's are far scarcer overall and much tougher in high grade through this time period. Just as an example, Batman #567 (1999, 1st Cassandra Cain) is a book I've sought out in the newsstand dress. The highest graded copy I've seen since I started looking a few years ago was a 9.4 (might be the only one I've seen, now that I think about it). I own one copy which I bought supposedly in NM range and it was fairly weak (more like VF/NM but at least I have one). Right now on eBay there are about 30 copies (graded or not) and I don't see any that are newsstands. Definitely something I would pay a premium for vs. Direct.
I actually have a 9.8 graded newsstand copy

Roger is a top notch guy. Bought 4 figure book without any hassles. He packed the book extremely well to handle anything post office might be able to do. His communication with me was also superior. True professional in every aspect. Buy and deal with him with utmost confidence. Can't say enough good about you. Thanks again for the great book

Here is the book I have that I thought might be a Canadian white

It was my pleasure. I got to learn so much and can't thank everyone enough for the help. From reading some of the back dialog I think I have a Canadian white too. I will post pictures shortly and hopefully someone can verify .

No problem. My only main question for you is whether or not the interior comic art is from Exciting Comics # 35, 39 or something else. You stated that the comic has 16 interior pages. So, 18 pages including covers. This is what we would expect from most Canadian reprints as, counting each side of the page, you have 36 pages. Most Canadian reprints are 36 pages (rather than the 52 that were standard in the USA at the time). As such, your comic might have completely different contents from Exciting 35 or 39. It's more likely, though, that it has the same contents as one of the aforementioned issues, but is missing a story or two. Here's a link to the GCD for the American prints of Exciting Comics. Luckily, all of the issues have been indexed, so it shouldn't be too difficult to check. I'm curious to know what you find out.

Cheers, brian
Thanks again Brian.
The book I have has the interiors of issue 35. It has 6 of the 9 stories. Black terror, American eagle, haunted house, sergeant bill king, good cowboy and Larry north. All text match and page count compared to story. Such helpful information. Thanks again

FECA books have been on the rise lately, but they generally do not sell for as much as US versions. However, this is a very interesting find. Many Pines books were reprinted in Canada during the FECA era after 1947, but they are hard to spot because unlike other publishers the Pines reprints generally do not have CDL or "Canadian Edition" written on the cover. I have an issue of America's Best Comics # 28 and Exiting Comics # 60 and 62 in my collection, but all were printed in 1948. The 1945 printing of your Exciting # 39 predates FECA and actually places this in the late-WECA period, prior to the end of WWII.
The later Canadian Pines books were published by Better Publications of Canada, which has the same 36 Toronto Street address in the indicia as your comic does. However, your book's publisher is Publications Enterprises Limited (which is not to be confused with Publication Services Limited, which was a different Canadian publisher, also based in Toronto). This is a publisher that I have not encountered in the past, but obviously became Better Publications of Canada over time.
Prior to now, I had never seen a US reprint (the Anglo-American Fawcett books are a different case) this early in the period. That said, the GCD does have pictures of three early issues of America's Best that may also be from 1945, but it is impossible to know for sure without having access to the indicias of those books. The early date of this book really throws me for a loop, because it predates FECA. Honestly, I am surprised that this even exists. Perhaps one of the board's WECA experts, like Stephen Lipson, can provide more information.
Ecgt. I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge on this matter and giving your insight on the book. I hope others with any and all information will chime in and help me get a better i understanding of what I have. This is my first exciting comic and thought the cover was amazing. Got so confused when I looked it up and didny seem to match overstreets description of issue 39. If anyone else can help it would be greatly appreciated. Also if more info or pictures are needed. Please let me know. Thanks all

So I just got this exciting comics 39. Cover and interior show 39. But cover is actually for issue 35. Page count is 16 interior pages and no ads. Is this a Canadian version. If so, is it more scarce than American version and which book would it actually be? 35 or 39. How would I determine value? On American versions, 35 is a more common value compared to issue 39. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Jon.
Bought 2 Cgc books off of him at such a great price. Shipping was superfast. Communication was top notch. And finally......thank you for packaging so well. Post office employes decided that my package was the box of the day to try and destroy. Jon packages so well that they came in perfect shape. Thanks again. Look forward to next sale
