It seems to me that there has not been abundance of Nedors this year. Either that or I did not notice them

The Exciting #32 CGC 9.0 seemed high too at $3733, but at least that book is the highest graded.

 

Yes, definitely appears to be on the high side at almost 5X condition guide for a non-key, non-uber HG copy.

 

I certainly would not be willing to pay for the so-called highest graded factor unless I was planning to flip the book in the not too distant future. If I was planning to hold onto the book, I don't think a 9.0 copy would be able to retain its status as highest graded copy in the long run.

The Fighting Yanks were nuts. I didn't think that title had that much pull. I would have enjoyed having them but not at that price.

 

Probably due to the fact that the Fighting Yanks were relatively high grade with both of them coming in at a grade of 9.2.

 

Too bad there's no copy of Startling Comics #10 in this auction as I would love to see what kind of price a decent copy of this HTF issue would go for in an auction style format? Especially considering that Exciting #9 tends to show up quite often, while the Startling #10 seems to rarely ever show up. hm

It is a war cover but it's not that cool, nor was it drawn by Schomburg. The character is not as exciting as Black Terror and so I don't think that issue generates the same excitement as Exciting 9.

That price on the Exciting #32 was ridiculous. I still maintain that _very_ few Nedors should go for over $3,000.

 

What did the Fighting Yanks sell for? I forgot about them, but I thought the # 10 Pennsylvania was Zaid's. Didn't he have both the # 1 (sold last year) and the # 10?

 

I paid a whopping $275 for my 6.5 FY # 9 and wasn't sure it was a good price at the time.

 

I'd love to see a nice Startling # 10 show up as well, and think the rarity factor would outweigh the fact that Black Terror's 3-4x as popular. Last copy I saw was that 3.0 that Heritage sold last year for $1,800 (3x guide). I paid $90 for a coverless copy.

Sorry, but I disagree with this opinion and so has the marketplace over the last few years.

 

I think most collectors view these books as Schomburg WWII covers more than Nedors, which make them highly collectible. Non-Schomburg and/or non-WWII covers, yes, I could agree with you. But if you do collect WWII era Schomburgs, where are you going to find these in high grade for under $3K? Certainly not Timelys. I think the market on these books are just playing a little "catch up" and those who follow these books all have to get used to it.

 

And what is this guide that you speak of? :sick:

I've been doing the Nedors for three years or so now. In that time, I've been pretty aggressive with my bidding and in that time, I've managed to complete about 50% of my sets. What ever you think they are worth, there is at least one other person out there who has regularly thwarted me despite my best efforts.

 

$3k doesn't seem to be the standard. $4k on the HG Schomburgs seems to be typical.

It is with much personal sadness that I agree with you. It's a rare occasion where I even bother to place a bid. :sorry:
