Timely Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Nice book. I wonder what the gas station owner would consider worse, the cash being robbed or the expensive window being smashed out by the Black Terror!?! Timely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonitecomics Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Maybe his insurance would cover it or the Black Terror could always pump gas to pay off the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

143ksk Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Great books. I especially love the early Startlings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou_fine Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Great books. I especially love the early Startlings! I assume you must mean the early Excitings since they featured the Black Terror. The early Startlings featured the Fighting Yank. The Startlings appear to be a better value right now since they are priced quite a bit cheaper in guide in comparison to the Excitings. In fact, I still remember not long ago when both Exciting #9 and Startling #10 were priced around the same in guide. Now the guide has the Exciting #9 at the lofty price of $12K with the Startling #10 falling substantially behind at only $4.5K. I guess this explains why copies of Exciting #9 have shown up in the marketplace quite often and yet no copies of Startling #10 have shown up for the past several years. Anybody have a high grade copy for sale at around the guide price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apotheosis Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hey Timely... Do you happen to have a scan of a Startling Comics 38? Also... I'm thinking about getting a Startling Comics 48 (love the Schomburg cover) that is around a 3.0/3.5... what is a good price for that one? I'm just not good for pricing on GA comics since the oldest comic I currently own is an X-Men 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timely Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 The only Startling I have is #35. On Startling #48 it's a classic cover, expect to pay over guide in any grade. Timely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearmint Posted March 10, 2004 Author Share Posted March 10, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheosis Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Thank you!! Somehow I hadn't even checked there. A 4.5 should do. Just to be safe though... I want to make sure my assessment of this is correct.... does this one look like a 3.0 to anyone else? Linky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearmint Posted March 10, 2004 Author Share Posted March 10, 2004 I'd call that copy closer to 4.0... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Seems impossible to assess from the scan. The bottom of the book is completely cut off so no way to assess the rest of the condition. Luckily 3 days left so shoot them an email and request a larger, full scan of the whole thang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheosis Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Luckily 3 days left so shoot them an email and request a larger, full scan of the whole thang! Done... Now if only I could request a pic of the one that Metro has. As I understand it they only send scans for items over $500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count on no less than a half grade over-grade from Metropolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
