Captain America Collecting Thread !

Yup. New to this thread as well. I'm doing the Cap run from 100 to 118. Still missing a few, got 109 and 110 being graded by CGC as of this writing. Here are the copies I have in hand. Still need nice copies of 103, 105, 113, 116, 118 if anybody has anything they want to part with.

Cap #102 has to be one of my favorite Cap covers of all-time.

I'm partial to 110 and 111. Those are just plain, flat-out Steranko goodness...

[KirbyJack]

I'll take 106! Just mythic!

cap 100 is kind of neat... I have a beater copy around here somewhere...haven't read it in years, think I will rectify that oversight

I don't think I've read these early Cap issues since I was a kid. I need to get me some copies.

Gotta love the late 12 cent Caps. Great covers and fun to read. I just picked up a 109 but haven't scanned it yet.

109 is a terrific read, with a detailed story on Cap's origin, complete with the noble, brilliant professor, the heroic young American boy, and the nefarious secret plotting of the Nazis. This one's got it all, pilgrim!

Sure, they're readily available in high grade, and there are apparently multiple copies of each ish from the Boston pedigree, but the Cap run from 100-113 has been really enjoyable to build. Great full-length Lee/Kirby sagas, followed by the all-too-brief but brilliant efforts from Steranko.

 

Here's my run. I've kept my raw mid-grade copy of Cap 100, as Kirby autographed it on the splash page way back at the NYCC in '75.
