From the exact opposite end of the pool. What say you? A little color touch?   

They did a great job on that corner repair job!

Creative repair for sure! One of my favorites in the run!

Dime novel as a Timely prototype?

My goal of being conservative in buying for 2024 lasted just over a week. Just got this book.  Question:  since the staples are rusted big time and there is restoration on the book, would you remove the staples?  They’ve blown out the holes on most of the wraps.

Absolutely remove the rust dust that used to be staples.

Thank you Richard.  I assumed that would be the correct thing to do, but just wanted to get the opinion of the experts.  The paper itself is actually quite nice.  Definitely a good bit of restoration, but that’s the only way I could afford a Cap 2.  I’m quite thrilled right now.

It looks great. Find some vintage staples, but even without staples it looks wonderful.

There really isn’t anything else like golden age, is there?  It’s been wonderful flipping through the pages today.

Here’s my copy. CGC should be placing “1st round shield” on the labels now for Cap 2 submissions. I have yet to see one. I thought of sending my copy in but I’m fine without the designation on the label.

I'll second this motion; first round shield and as follow-ups go, first rate on Fuhrer bashing!  

Cheers to Joe Simon!

Congratulations! A killer book to own regardless of the grade or level of restoration.
