Nice, bright with great color and sharp detail. Has just a light hint of spotting in the center of the yellow back ground. (Sorry for the dirty glare around pin. It is not there on the acutal pin)

OK, last one for this thread and it's a killer!

 

American Eagle Defenders 1942 Nedor Club Pinback. Only Nedor premium I know of. Only offered in a few comics. Along with the US Jones Club, Great Zarro Great Comics club and the Silver Streak comics button, this one of the rarest of the comic book club buttons. Ted Hake has only had maybe 3 of these in 45 years of his auctions. Several years ago I paid just over $600. for a mint one. Haven't seen one since. Walter Koneg (from Star Trek) who is probably the biggest collector of comic character pinbacks doesn't even have one.

 

1-1/4" red and blue on white cello

 

Obvious defect is the complete rim stain. It does not obscure the type around the edge and the picture of him in the center is clean and bright. Flat, no cracks, splits and no scratches just that darn stain...

 

There is a lot of interest in Nedor comics but there are MANY more comics out there than this button. If you want to own the rarest of the rare, now is your chance. On stuff like this, you just can't hold out "for a better one"

 

$150.00 + $2.50 postage

 

[Robot Man]

OK, that's all folks. yes, I've learned my lesson. From now on, I'll keep it to actual funny books because this IS after all a funny book forum.

 

I appreciate those who have purchased and even you lousy lurkers. Hope you have enjoyed this thread!

 

I will leave this up through tomorrow and probably send out invoices on Saturday.

 

Happy Trails kids!

I figgered you'd like that one Jimmers.

 

Oh jeeze, I just noticed I was up against Dale Roberts and Filter tonight. I'm sure Ricksneatstuff is chomping on my heels too.

 

Lotsa great stuff here on the boards lately

 

Happy New Year guys!

This material is just amazing Robot Man – I believe it is mostly a question of timing, and of course the people able to appreciate these are few, not the majority of younger collectors aiming for Marvel/DC Silver and Bronze.

 

I strongly hope you’ll continue to list these: for the discerning collectors in Italy this material is entirely impossible to find.

 

Man, if I had at least a Shock Gibson comic book I would have been seriously tempted by the button… Not to mention the Fu Manchu one and the Plastic Man is awesome too…

Thanks Claudio. A lot of this stuff is near impossible to find even here. I have always appreciated the premiums advertised in the comic books as much as the comics themselves. I learned long ago how impossibly rare a lot of this stuff is. We have become a community of high grade slab chasers. Sadly, there is a lot less interest in is what is behind the cover.

 

Don't worry, I will continue to sprinkle in a little of the "other stuff" in my future sales threads but will probably keep them more comic book driven.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your listing the Bill Barnes button. Don't think that the thread was pointless, because she's going to love it! Thanks again!

I believe I have been "somewhat stupid", as at a recent auction they listed in a lot two of the earliest Centaur italian editions, including the first apperance of Shock Gibson. They are from around 1945 and lasted very little: these, actually, were "one shots".

 

They are super-super-rare, and they sold for slightly above 130 Euro…

You can see them here:

Maybe I would have not kept them but they could have been of interest to some of you (SACentaur, Sardo, Ryan)…
