[CLOSED] Startling Comics #18 CGC 5.5 (1942) ~ Origin Pyroman, and 1st in Title 1 1

[Frank.Einstein]

Startling Comics #18, the issue where Pyroman starts his run in this title and his origin appears! Iconic cover and tough to find (11 graded copies).

Gorgeous eye appeal – Supple cover colors, flat and with original sheen and tight binding. The main flaws being at the corners. I've owned this book for a long time. It has never been pressed (and doesn't need to be!) and has no restoration. VG++ OW/W.

Very tricky book to price as they are rarely available on the open market. Last 4.5 sold over three years ago.  DTA has a shredded/mangled Poor copy currently for sale for $287 (https://www.hipcomic.com/listing/startling-comics-18-nedor-comic-book-first-appearance-of-pyroman-golden-age/3093723). A 4.5 CGC #19 (non-key issue) sold for $1009 a year ago.

$1000 shipped anywhere in continental USA or Canada, but willing to ship anywhere (please contact me for rates).

First  in the thread wins, and then has 24 hours to close the deal. If not, they next gets it etc. PM offers and questions are welcome as well. Payment via Paypal. If there's an issue contact me within 5 days of receipt and we'll sort something out. Thanks for looking!!
