I guess you can't slab that puppy, huh?

Unfortunately, CGC STILL puts "Canadian Edition" on comics that were only published in Canada. My point though wrt to this particular book is that its highly unlikely it was distributed only in Canada. It is far enough post war to have been on both sides of the border, and the simple fact its called "FBI" (we don't HAVE an FBI) means it almost certainly had US distribution... Unless I'm missing something this is simply an FBI comics 2. Just a single edition for both US and Canada. Stephen, others, correct me if I'm wrong please? Bell logo is the same as the FE Howard logo on Super Duper Comics # 3 I would suggest this copy was in fact distributed in the USA

or THIS

Not nearly as cool as this

Gorgeous 5.0 Jon. It presents VERY well for the grade! I wish I could take 'em all home with me, Steve. You and I both...

In today's Edition of SCOOP, the GLOBAL online hobby newsletter IcomicExchange.com Lists Better Comics # 1: "On June 1, 2016, Hamilton, Ontario-based International Comic Exchange (ICE) listed a copy of Better Comics #1 CGC 7.0. The comic is one of only two graded 7.0, the highest in the CGC Census. Better Comics #1 was published by Vancouver’s Maple Leaf Publishing when the Canadian government implemented the War Exchange Conservation Act (WECA). Part of the act banned non-essential imports during the war economy, such as American comic books. Better Comics #1 was followed by a thriving Canadian comic publishing industry during the war years. In 1946 when WECA was repealed, the Canadian comic book industry suffered greatly. There are very few known copies of Better Comics #1. “We’re thrilled to list this historic first Canadian comic book for sale and we look forward to displaying it for all to see in Niagara Falls on June 4,” ICE administrator Marty Birthelmer said. ICE has listed the copy of Better Comics #1 CGC 7.0 for $100,000. It was listed in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of Canadian comics on June 4 at Big B Comics and Chapterhouse Publishing at 6465 Lundy’s Lane, Niagara Falls, ON. The festivities will be held from 7 PM to 9 PM where Better Comics #1 will be on display". Link: http://scoop.previewsworld.com/Home/4/1/73/1012?ArticleID=179413 I will be attending this event and I am looking very forward to it. I will be bringing my copy of Triumph-Adventure Comics # 1 and # 2, albeit not for sale, to put on display for the event as well.

the consignments are lovely. How many books came we expect in this first auction roughly? I see there are about 15 so far Hey man, Still figuring it all out, actually, with more coming back from CGC. Of course virtually none of us, myself included, will be able to acquire any of them, as they will realize insane prices at auction end. This is fueled by the hype over Canadian Whites. Very frustrating indeed. I do not intend on paying obscene amounts of money for books that I would be completing with many others at auction end, like vultures on carrion. You sandbagger. Cut it out.

Fixed that for you

I am a WECA guy Although I do have some of the really cool FECA books such as Nitro Comics, Unusual Comics, Super Duper 3, and some of the zany Fox Hybrids such as Galliant Comics with the Phantom Lady

Price seems.... fair interesting There's a good point for discussion: What do you think the asking price should be for the highest graded Better 1 and how about a Triumph No. 1? I will take 50K for my Better 1 CGC 6.0 Universal Blue

Canadian Heroes Vol 1 # 5 First appearance of Canada Jack

There are several later issues of Maple Leaf Comics that were distributed in the UK

Check out this rare magazine sized Canadian White.

Had a great time at the Motor City Comicon this weekend. Found a couple of very high grade Canadian Whites and some cool esoteric comics

Thanks for the plug Brian
