Is there even a 2-page centerfold spread for Cap #3 because I don't believe there is? 

Does anybody here have a scan of this apparent centerfold image for Cap #3 since I would sure like to see what it looks like? 

Just looked thru “Captain America The Classic Years”, and confirmed, there is no 2 page CF in issue 3. Those begin with #6.

Thanks and that's indeed good to know. 

I just absolutely love those 2-page centerfolds out of the couple of Cap books I have which had them. 

Any idea how far along into the Cap run they went before they stopped doing them?

Rick;

Well, since you are one of Bob's advisors, are you the one that's advising him to keep the valuation for this high in-demand book down at only $15,300 in this condition?   

Well, at least he finally moved the Cap 3 into the same valuations as Cap 2 for all listed conditions below VF/NM 9.0.  Maybe you should advise him that Cap 3 should be valued well above Cap 2 in ALL grades across the entire condition spectrum for this year's edition of the guide. 

Seriously though, it's a bit of a puzzle why he doesn't pay more attention to his advisors since I know that you are a strong proponent that Cap 3 is definitely worth more than a Cap 2 in the current marketplace and has also been that way for several years now.

What percentage of board members uses the overstreet as a price guide?  Maybe as reference for $1-10 books?

Overstreet has his method for doing his price guide.  Reality is that for in demand books (and for the not in demand books), a once a year guide really can’t be all that relative for accurate or up to date pricing in today’s instant Information Age.

In any other auction, it might have had a chance at cracking the $100K mark, but probably not in this particular auction here.

Especially when you've got 16 different copies of the first 11 issues of Cap, including duplicates of the Cap 3 itself in the same auction here.

Reminds me a bit of the last CC auction whereby they had 24 different copies of the pre-Robin 'Tec books (inc. 'Tec 38 here) and the feeling was that the books had under performed as compared to previous auction results. 

Will definitely draw the attention of collectors for these books here, but sometimes too much selection options and availability to potential bidders will result in lower than expected prices for the books in question.

The other cap 3 is restored.  Zero effect on the 7.5; different class of buyers.

Looks like couple of bidders have put their foot down and marked their territory.  You can still put in a tracking bid on the 6.5

I think so in a way. Although it is not caps 2nd cover appearance, I think cap 3 is the 2nd most desirable and valuable Cap book in the run similar to how action 7 is.

I said this for years, and heard over and over from dealers/collectors/experts that "nobody cares"  and they "never will."

This was my first Board purchase a few years ago.  I had just recently joined and it was a little nerve racking to be sending money to some alligator loving dealer down in Florida.  Worked out OK.
