An old friend - whom I've lost touch with now for over 20 years - bought that book from Metro some 25 years ago (unless there is another 8.0 with the same coloration!) He had been in the market for a Cap 1 and he and I made the drive to NY. All he collected was high grade Timely. If I recall correctly, my friend had at least two other Cap 1s to choose from at Metro that day, both/all in the VG-F range. He had brought some SFs and Mile Highs with him to trade for a Cap 1. I believe one of the books he traded was the SF Daring Mystery 6. Another was a Mile High Adventure in the 70s; among others of that ilk.
Long story short, when he asked my opinion that day, I told him I preferred a VG-F copy with normal colors. He went with that one because it was a VF, and ended up losing money when he sold it 10 years or so later.
