A VG/F first silver appearance of Cap

If you have been following my journal since the beginning you might recall that I used to visit stores around the country during my summers off from school. Thanks to my dad's unwillingness to fly we drove cross country several times and I would try to remain current on my new titles and look for interesting classics. I think the summer of 1990 we drove through Denver and stopped at a store I can't remember anymore that I found in the back of my trusty Overstreet guide. That's where I got this copy of Avengers #4. I had long been a fan of Cap and always had my eyes out and this copy looked like a decent buy at $40. It was mostly nice but had some bad flaws like badly mis-located staples, some pen scribbles, a couple tears and a stain. Like I said I wasn't always the most picky when it came to grading I just wanted the book at a price I could afford.

I think 5.0 Cream/OW pages is an appropriate grade for my copy. The colors look nice but the white background is kinda brown and the flaws are well... flaws. Either way I'm happy to have had Cap's origin all these years. As for the continuing bubble saga I had to take the shot of the back at an angle in order to get a good photo of the bubble which is even bigger on this one, but at the same time a little less distracting. Maybe I'm just getting used to them.
