I like that Ward print!  Good stuff!

I read it!  The whole journal section seems...lonely.  Ohh well...

Are any Caps below $500 now?

Not many!  When I first started collecting this series, $500 or under was my goal for a lot of the issues.  Obviously that wasn't going to happen for the earliest issues or the Schomburg war covers but it was doable for the most part.  Now, it's difficult to achieve on any issue.  Even these random issues toward the end that I have started with.  Prices are going up across virtually all comic books and for popular series like Captain America it's even worse.   It looks like I'm going to have to either dip below my 2.0 grade threshold, as well as accept trimmed/brittle books or limit myself to 2 - 3 books a year.  Even then, these 1.0 - 1.8 books can get crazy on eBay.  Right now there's a Cap #13 1.0 slightly brittle pages at $1,550.  It is a very popular cover and it presents well for a 1.0 but I know its going to hammer for ~$2,000 when someone paid $2,383 22 months ago for a 4.0 off-white copy.  Competition for these low graders is fierce!

Hmm...did CCS cause damage?!  I would not be happy either!

Yes. I have only seen two copies of issue #74 in the last 10+ years. I owned the CGC  4.0 copy for a few years and the 8.0 has been buried in a collection somewhere for a long time?. Please do not get that issue SS if you can. 

Oh, I would never!

Thanks everyone for the kind words!
