the Cap 8 is a very scarce and tough to come by issue...great, as always!

[jbcomicbox]

Jon, very nice. Did you get a chance to go to the exhibit? And if so, how was it?

 

yes i did for the opening.....they did a great job of condensing the history of the modern comic from super heros to world war II years to the code years to the marvel explosion to the present times....they had tons of great OA to compliment the comics

 

It was first class all the way...

I love the Young Allies books. My first Timely was Young Allies 20. I was 13 and it took me two days to pop the cover off. I picked up this beauty from Motor City Comics about five years ago. I especially love Pear Harbor covers.

If you pretend they're the Bowery Boys, it helps.

Nice! Copies of this book are usually lower grades....with your VF copy, it's easy to approciate cool "3-D book" design!

the Cap 8 is a very scarce and tough to come by issue...great, as always!

 

I was unaware that there are any very scarce Caps.

[Blind Owl]

A few of the later issues are difficult at times to obtain. I think even more difficult than some of the earlier issues.

 

Here's a few issue numbers for you in my opinion that you might not find that easy!!!

 

Cap 26

Cap 61

Cap 66

Cap 74 (everybody knows about this one)

Cap 75

and the last three issues published by Atlas are not that easy to find either.

 

Others on these boards have a much more extensive knowledge of Captain America and would probably add ten more issues and maybe disapprove of my choices!!! But I've tried to locate the above issues and have found them and seen them for sale, but not very often!!! My opinion!!!

8, 36, 46 are scarce in the sense that no one seems to sell them

[Thegoldenage]

Thanks for the clarification.

[Straw-Man]

20 is not easy. 70 is not easy.

[Silver Surfer]

The later issues 70-78 are very hard to find in high grade, especially anything over an 8.5.

They MUST be tough. Took you a whole three weeks to find them....

Well Mr. Parker, I cant speak for everyone, but yeah your book makes me hard!

(you love to show that thing off, don't you???)

[mr.schomburg]

As to the Hardest issues of Cap to find???

Here are my choices.

 

4-tough, doesn't come up for sale much(Schomburg cover)

16-can be found, but you will pay big

20- never see hardly at all, and rarely in grade

22-just don't see it much for sale

24-is another fairly tough book to find

26-is around, but highly competitive market for that cover same with the next issue

28

29-try finding one for sale in VG or better, doesn't come up for sale much

32-Paratrooper cover, rarely seen for sale 1 or twice a year if lucky

37-39 are tough, but money will get you one

46- Gonna be hard to find, gonna cost you plenty

47-tough above 6.0

61-Presumption its tough to find, but I seam to always find one for sale...at premium, but still available

70-take it when ever you find it and upgrade later maybe the toughest to find.

74-not as scarce as Gerber and guide would leave to believe, but still tough

75-actually is collected by pre-code horror guys, and you don't see it above 5.0 much

76-78-not to bad to find at double guide in GD or worse, but solid VG or better...get out of here, the toughest Atlas books you can't find in grade.

 

Well there is my Market report for Cap, all the above is based upon unrestored books
