Just love it

Is there really a Cap 1 9.8 or is that just an urban legend? It doesn't seem possible. I see it on the census, but come on....

 

Were they lenient with the grade?

If I'm not mistaken its the old 9.6 Allentown......

Very happy with my purchase. Was even happier when I saw there was a cool freebie added in! Thanks again.

I got some sun today so it's more of a deep tan now.

Crack party!

 

 

 

Been chasing a copy of this book for a while. Finally landed one.

 

That's a great copy of a tough book

Very nice copy.

Haven't seen one of these actually shown here, so here is a copy of this book - with the top of the cover missing. The seller was kind enough to provide a color copy of the complete cover...

I dare say one of THE rarest

Here you go David. I only have Pep 22 and 23. I read all those other books off the online database. These are my father's books. He won them off eBay back around '95 when eBay had just come out. He was at work when the auctions were ending and was using his work computer. Right when he won the Pep 22 his supervisor walked by and says "You just spent 2 grand on a comic book?!?"

 

 

What a great story.

I was thumbing thru my Captain America 1

Love Cap 1. Do you know how many folks wish they could say that?

Andrew and I entered into an agreement for the purchase of a high grade GA book on time payments. He made payments on time, was great with communication, and was easy to work with throughout. Thanks again!

Not new, but I never had a chance to show this one off when I bought it. The only copy I have ever seen with nice semi-uniform green across the cover. Most copies are dull and brownish.

 

Very, very nice!

A couple of fun little pickups from today's HA session:

 

 

 

NICE pick-up! Super scarce classic covers.

Did you notice the price of it back in 1989? Gotta love it. Nice pick up Boyd!

Just beautiful. Boy, do the cover inks pop!

For personal desirability

 

Cap 1

Marvel 1

All American 16

Detective 1

Batman 1

Detective 27

More Fun 52

All Star 8

Flash 1

Planet 1

 

If money is completely off the table these are my faves. Other than Action 1 and Superman 1 being the keys they are they don't do a thing for me. If I had all the money in the world there are still others not on my list I'd go after before those two unless the price was too good to pass up.

I tend to agree. Its hard to drop big bucks on a book like Sup 1 since it is 1) mostly reprints, and 2) not a 1st app. Cap 1 or Flash 1 on the other hand?

There's one right now on ebay CGC 8.5 for $555. Seller is MyComicsShop

I like the white pages too. Looks like its a bit cheaper here.....

Splash page from Wings 35. Wow!

 

 

That's a fantastic splash page!

Fantastic indeed!

Gino or Travis should start a cap 3 club thread. I won't be in it but I'll post

 

i ain't gino, nor am i travis, but i got one, so here we go...

 

Damn nice.

Very nice Earl!

I believe Enchantment Visualettes was a 4 or 5 issue run. Decent reads too. I have a couple of them.

Well, not be a wet blanket about your dream book cuz its also one of mine, but Gary Dolgoff just sold a Action 13 on ebay in blue 3.5 for $34k.... That seems high to me, but it is the "Tec 31" of Action covers.

I guess price wise, but even just counting Superman covers, I don't see it. 7, 10 & 19 are all cooler to my eyes.

 

 

(thumbs u

I third that!

There are River City's with no code. They are usually very nice copies and fresher than the average RC.

Makes sense. Paper was nicer on this one.

Ok, I decided to look a little harder and found this thread. It was SNiPER that inspired my search. It's not an 8.5 but it looks awesome anyway...

And luckily all the pictures are still posted!

 

And if you don't want to see all the fun that was had...here's the book

 

I was the lucky buyer of this MT 19. I didn't agree with Metro's VF++ ( or whatever 8.75 means) and wasn't even really sure it was in fact a River City. Nevertheless, it had good paper and the cover was incredibly glossy. I had a nice VG at the time, which I ended up getting graded and then sold on MCS not too long ago.

Wow. Take a look at this ........ http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=121345&lotNo=12281&lotIdNo=42030
