my thoughts exactlty. Thanks

I saw that Cap 28 too. Pretty aggressive price, but it is a great cover, and that copy did present much better than a 1.8 (though I guess most books do in a 2-inch photo!).

 

The price isn't that surprising as it's a highly desirable cover that would likely sell at a premium over guide in any grade, and while small scans can be deceptive it did look better than the CGC grade (I have a GA book that was graded 1.8 by CGC - since freed from the slab - that were I to sell it I would have no qualms calling a 2.5 - not every book gets the GA bump from CGC).

Very nice copy.

Wow, what grade is that beauty?

 

its a 6.5 - spine very dirty and 1/2 inch stain on back cover.

 

I love stains on the back when the front looks that nice!!

Beautiful book! One of my favorite CA covers.

 

This arrived today:

Inexpensive copy has a detached cover and is missing a centerfold...but a book I've wanted for years so I'm happy!

 

[Silver Surfer]

Banner the Cap's are drawing me in more and more. Love these books in any grade.

Nice Cap 5 & 37 guys, I like both covers a lot. It's possible the Captain America title had the most consistently awesome covers in the Golden Age. And I don't have any in my collection

[Norrin_Radd]

Red Skull story.

So I picked up this one today from the post box - thanks to Andy for another nice book. This is one off my "Grail List" so I was just thrilled to have picked up this one.

 

Lower grade book and has piece re-attached to the top right corner, but I am lovin' this book....just cannot get too many classic Shomburg war covers....one of his best (at least in my opinion) .

Awesome USA #7 there! A hard book to find in nice shape, and it doesn't come up for sale very often in any grade. Classic Cap cover too.

[rjpb]

Great cover indeed - I wish I'd picked up some Cap U.S.A.s back in the early 90s when they were still "undiscovered".

[podboy66]

yeah me too.

Here's a scan of one the interior splash pages from my beater subby #32, IMHO its the best story in the 1940's run.

It's a book length story by Everett starting from how Subby's parent's met, his birth, childhood, to how he ventured out on his as an adult. Hard to top.

I still want another copy for my collection.
