Fighting Yank 12 question

[rube11]

Since I am not a guru of golden age stuff, I wanted to throw this out to you all

 

I came across someone who has about 25 golden age books to sell. He sent me a picture of HIS Fighting Yank 12. I then decided to try and get some idea of value and came across a NM copy for sale at Metropolis....but the covers aren't the same!

 

Can someone give me an idea of why that is?

 

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks West,

 

How does that price out in OSG then? It looks like about a fine copy.

Both great covers!

Yes but what would be the value of the book?

I bought a #12 (US version) not too long ago in unslabbed 4.5/5.0 for $200. I may have paid too much but I had been looking for while.

Steve as a general rule Canadian editions (blank inside cover I think) would fetch 1/2 of a regular US book. I think this is because they were printed elsewhere and are not from the same print run. You may pay a greater % for a key or a tough book (or a desireable Timely etc) but 1/2 is the rule of thumb that I have heard.

Thanks Roy,

 

I don't have the book in hand so I am going to ask the owner to look inside the cover and see if it is truly blank. That would help alot in deciding to buy or not.

That's my experience with other titles like Sensation and Whiz. Not sure how Nedor did it.

Good luck.

The interior covers will not be blank on Nedor Canadian editions.

There you go...that's why I qualified it later.

Thanks West.

How scarce are Canadian Nedors - I don't think I've seen one before.

 

I realize all Canadian editions are comparitively scarce, but some publishers seem more common than others.

There was a copy just like this one(perhaps the same one) on eBay a year or two ago.
