I used to own the Allentown Cap #6, your #3 is far better!

Dang.

I realized my original post could be confusing or taken the wrong way so I edited it....

 

The owner of my old restored Cap 2 put it in a "universal" slab and up for auction on comic connect.

 

I doubt the owner(s) had the color touch removed.

 

I saw it and felt I had to warn you guys. Do unto others and all that.

 

 

Here are the picks.

pretty mm 26.

 

unspeakably gorgeous cap 3.

I want to let you guys know my old Cap #2 is up for auction.... but with new notes in a new slab....

Huh? From "slightly brittle pages" to "tan to cream"? Also, no mention of restoration or completely split spine? .5 to 1.8?!

 

Oh my my my...

I've had the misfortune to win a couple of PGX books that came back from CGC with brittle pages -- one had been given a CR-OW designation by PGX.

 

Needless to say, these wins weren't the bargains they appeared to be. And, yeah, I should have known better.

As for that 9.6 Allentown Cap 3...I can't even look at that for too long before I lose my mind to how beautiful it is...

Thanks for the compliments.... It's one of my favorite books from my collection, I'm partial to yellow covers and that one in particular is glaring....

[sartre]

Here's another yellow cover Cap... the last issue... very scarce..

[GoldCap]

It's not hard to compliment a book like that!

 

Yellow covers, eh? I imagine you have your eye on this then??

Heritage's Cap13 is INSANE!

Newstand fresh!!

 

Would a book this nice have that old comic book smell?

 

Here's the pic:

Timely group shot!

 

[markseifert]

Not the Timely you were expecting, but the one you deserve (to see):

 

The hyper rare Captain America Vol 1 #1:

 

 

Only somewhat kidding, as this is generally considered to be the reason Cap #1 says vol 2 #1 in the indicia. Popular Digest #2 appears out of the blue just prior to Cap 1.

 

That aside, probably even cooler for the fact that it is indeed Martin Goodman's very first Timely Publication, shows you why Timely is called Timely, and hitting just before Marvel 1:

 

 

No comics, still cool though.

Sartre, I love your books but you really gotta invest in a better way to scan or photograph them. Your pics just don't do the books justice. It'd be like showing up at car show with your new Bentley after taking it offroading in a mud pit!
