The 2 most underpriced timelys Cap 1 and Cap3..well the secret is out on those and anybody who can grab any copy should do so, I still like MM 3 over MM9 however.

Cat-Man_America Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Too-much-time-on-my-hands post, ...think of it as the traditional clip episode in a cliffhanger serial. Combined post reprising my subjective top twenty Timely list with scans and one correction (it's MM#28, not #38)... All Winners #19 & 21 (first & last All Winners Squad issues, there can be only two) Spoiler Red Raven #1 (classic one shot S&K project) Spoiler Human Torch #5 (epic 60 page Torch/Subby battle issue with classic Schomburg cover) Spoiler Captain America #1, 2 & 3 (1. origin with first Red Skull, 2. first round shield and 3. Schomburg Red Skull cover; S&K) Spoiler Marvel Comics 1 (origins, first Marvel comic) Marvel Mystery #2 (first WWII nazi combat and title) Spoiler Marvel Mystery #3 (first familiar masthead, first Schomburg MM cover) Spoiler Mystic Comics #1 (first series, pulp swipe cover by Alex Schomburg; would be swiped again by Syd Shores for Mystic 2nd series) Spoiler Mystic Comics Vol. 2 #2 (classic Nazi giant skeletal mad Doctor harassing women on tandem slabs with hypodermic needle) Spoiler Marvel Mystery #8, 9, & 10 (Torch/Subby battle opens at the end of 7 and continues through 10 before moving over to HT Comics) Spoiler Marvel Mystery #28 (Torch battles garish underworld creatures led by robed klansman while rescuing distressed damsel dangling over acid) Spoiler Marvel Mystery #46 (colander torture themed classic cover featuring green Hitler with an ear-worm leading subterranean zombies) Spoiler Marvel Mystery 66 (final WWII issue with Imperial Japanese air force's last ditch effort to fly a death ray over NYC ... obviously one of my faves) Spoiler Daring Mystery 1 (Sci-fi cover with babe tied to front fender of a Newmobile; first Schomburg cover for Timely) Captain America's Weird Tales #74 (Cap battles the Red Skull in purgatory; one devil of a series ender) Spoiler To better illustrate my list, the two earlier posts have been combined and underscored with spoilers provided & most labels (deflated wallet and one image courtesy of Heritage). If it gets boring, just switch channels and have another beer... Edited May 10, 2020 by Cat-Man_America Cheers!

Apparently, these are the most sought after books by Timely collectors that are least found on dealer walls. One can have a nuanced debate over the merits of any book or series of books based on personal preferences, but supply and demand is where the rubber meets the road.
