A keeper as it eluded me for 12+ years before I happened upon this copy:

I have this book!  

I originally bought a poster-size 11"x17" print of the cover, and was delighted to find an affordable copy at a comic con soon afterward!  
I simply adore this cover, as well as most of the others showcased in this thread!

I've wanted to get a copy of this book for years! 

I had passed on dozens of copies either because of timing or wanting a nicer book. As the prices of ECs started rising over the last 18 months, I had nearly given up on owning one that presented the way I wanted it to. 

But when this copy came up for sale on the boards I went for it and couldn't be happier. The colors are beautiful and jump off the page. It presents great! I can't imagine letting it go. Even higher graded copies will have a tough time matching those colors.

Special thanks for @mstrange for making it available!

While it isn’t a comic, it is definitely related. I don’t ever see myself parting with this badge or even upgrading it for that matter. To me, the custodians of these badges still carry the Sentinels of Liberty club and the core virtues of Captain America into to the modern age. This is my first and only badge and as a big fan of Cap and someone who often related to skinny Steve Rogers as a kid, I feel as the current keeper of the badge, it represents my very own membership as a part of something pretty darn cool and historic.

I had a hard time finding this one and can't afford an upgrade... so this one is definitely a keeper.  I couldn't believe it when I first saw the cover to Mister Mystery 12 back in the mid-90s.  This book has a lot of wear, but I respect this kind of wear.  It's a real survivor with both staples and the cover intact.  I love books that look like this as long as they can be handled.  An older high-grade book can look like a newer book, but a newer book can never look like this!
