Art by popular artist (cover and/or interior). GGA (w/ or w/o headlights!), ideally of the gorgeous blonde in the red dress variety.  Bondage.  Torture machine/method.  Actual decapitation (or other particularly taboo method completed).  And by Timely.  Six of the most popular attributes associated with the GA.

It's nice when you find an issue with at least one or two of them associated with a book, especially on the cover.  Find three or more in one book and it's likely an instant classic.  Now imagine having ALL of these on the cover alone, of a Timely no less, plus more in the interior pages!  This book fits the bill.

Wow! Unrestored and not brittle! I need all 3 of these, Ben! Very nice! 

Thanks, Jeff.  The 7 was never a problem for me to find. In 2007, I happened to land three of them in a short time period. Traded one to @G.A.tor for a low grade Tec 8, sold another to help fund a 3.0 Cap 1 that I bought from @G.A.torin 2010, and sold the other privately. Finally got my current copy from donut dan several years ago. I’ve had half a dozen 10s in the last twenty years. The 8 is the toughest of the Cap USAs in my opinion, and my favored.

I agree, the 8 is a unicorn. My 8 is G.A.tors old copy and I have not seen a nicer one for sale in the years since I bought it. I've had one #7 but sold it a decade ago because I gave up trying to complete the run. Decided a year later to try again and of course, now, I cannot found a 7.:roflmao:Oddly, I have never owned a 10. I've had lots of chances but I've never pulled the trigger for some reason.:yeehaw:

Been awhile since I have seen a blue label 7 publicly. I have seen a reasonable amount of 10s in my time relative to a 1943 Timely. It’s not super scarce but it has not been offered publicly as much in the past.
