Here is the Cap before it was slabbed, even though it had issues with the centerfold should it not had gotten a better grade than a 2.0?

 

Looks like a 2.5/3.0 to me John...perhaps some interior page defects dropped the grade?

and the granddaddy of my last heritage wins...also a prime pressing candidate (bc flaws, etc)....would get a 6.0 IMO

Yea Ben, the centerfold is almost detached and some slight pieces out (does not affect the story nor art though) Should had been at least a 2.5 (It got hit hard for that) but its ok, still happy to have a Skull cover!

Now if someone can help me find out how many (or which) issues the Skull appeared in the Timely years..........at this point I know he appeared on 6 covers in total. Now how many stories was he featured in back then ?

Looks like a solid 2.5 to me, even with the cf issues. Presents very nicely! If I ever get back to collecting Red Skull covers it's exactly the kind of copy I'd be looking for. A question for you Timely collectors - even though #74 is supposedly scarcer, it seems to pop up for sale on a regular basis, is Cap #16 the scarcest red Skull cover in terms of availability? And would Young Allies #1 be the most available by far? Does anyone care to rate RS covers in terms of difficulty of acquisition? I don't get the impression any of them are extremely hard to find - just expensive.

I have one too. So that makes three here on the Boards. So I'm not sure of the scarcity. hm

this one is pretty cool too

I love that one Rick!!! One of my favorite Caps, and the 1st published Stan Lee to boot!!! (worship)

actually, I sold that one when I slightly upgraded to a cgc 5.0, but I didn't have the 5.0 scanned, so I used the 4.0 that was in my photobucket...

 

these days, just upgrading (slowly) cap 1-10 and MMC 1-10 as I can (thumbs u

People always keep the Skull covers. Anytime I did sell a Cap book, this issue was the last in mind. So I agree that its scarce on the market.
I see issue 61 quite a bit....but I bought the only issue 16 I have ever seen for sale!
