I used to love going to Big Guy's Comics...I'm assuming this is the store that was in Mountain View?

Yep that's the one. In the back area, Big Guy held an auction with about 20 of us customers.  I outbid Alan of Heroes comics for the Avengers #1 - I think it was about $150.

Yeah other than the dent on cap's right shoulder, its a really nice copy.

It's barely visible -- exactly the kind of defect you want in a well-presenting book.  Is it an actual tear in the cover?  If so, high five to CGC for making sure it sits nicely in the slab.

It's been 20+ years since I've looked at that defect up close, but I think it is slightly torn, but just on one side so it is not going to come off.
