very nice copy ! no idea on hammer price but it sure is pretty.

Probably the only Timely key that seems to sell for less than it did 10 years ago, almost always under guide, sometimes well under. Even a Kirby Hitler /Red Skull cover isn't enough to guarantee the love.

 

My guess is around 15K

It's a shame there is not as much interest. It has a great cover - Red Skull and Hitler cover. Bucky just doesn't hit as hard as Cap.

Yeah and the young allies team have that cringe worth political incorrectness which is not appealing to many.

Blatant racial stereotypes from an earlier era frequently increase demand for pop culture ephemera in the collectibles market including comics, so this has nothing to do with the lack of demand. Kid teams from the 1940s just don't generate much excitement among GA collectors in general.

I agree, it likely is the fact that they are children.

 

But as much as there can be more desirable instances of racism I think Young Allies falls at the lower end of desirability, not shocking enough to be appealing but still bad enough to be very offensive. It certainty is no C**n Chicken Inn or Air fighters 6.
