Wonder if the 9.4 brought it to the table or it was already in the works.

Another question is will this crack $100K  on the next go round or will sanity come back into play as it dips back down to the $50K mark:

Oh, I see. Yes, that would be a big payoff.

  This scan is low res and I haven’t had time to look at the original, but it appears as though the staple entry points thru the paper show tell tale cover fade.

Are the 2 of your trying to encourage potential fraudulent activity on the boards here?  

Send both the book and loose staples to Matt and ask him for his professional opinion (while wearing his CCS hat) as to whether the boys at CCS are qualified enough to do this type of work and be able to get it by without detection from those darn CGC graders.

Pardon me is this has already been discussed, but isn’t there an unusual history for the San Fran copy of Captain America #1?

I think so.  There was a thread that was started on this 9.4 copy.

This book has a fascinating history. Bob Beerbohm first saw it at a convention when another collector managed to buy all the San Francisco timely prior to him seeing them. He found out that that collector was paying 25% of retail which made Bob recognize that he could pay even less than that at times. This set him out on a career path where he dedicated himself every day striving to rip people off in greater and greater ways.  Ultimately culminating in a career where he takes great pride and being able to rip off children, widows, and any other downtrodden folk.
