Condition:  The front cover appears more like a 9.2.  This book was mainly downgraded for a heavy dust shadow on the front and back cover.  The spine and staples of this book are pedigree-like quality and have a fresh-off-the-newstand appearance.  Many of the top ten Captain America Comics #1 books have rusty staples.  This copy has near perfect staples which is vital for investing in a book that keeps its grade over time.  The Kansas City Copy of Captain America #1 sold in February on ComicLink for $150,000 and both staples on that book had rust, with the lower staple rust already beginning to seep into the paper surrounding it (This damage can easily be viewed from a high-resolution image of the Kansas City Copy that can be found in the Heritage archives at HeritageComics.com).  In my opinion, the dust shadows on this book are a much more acceptable flaw than a book with rust, because the rust will continue to bleed and damage the book over time.  I've seen most of the top 10 Captain America #1 books in person, and in my opinion, this one is the 5th best unrestored copy.  If you are a "spine freak" like me, you will LOVE this book.  Keep in mind that if this book did not have the two dust shadows, it would have probably graded a 9.2 and I would be selling it for $250,000 instead of $75,000.  So, some Captain America fan will get a great value. This book has been stored in a dark room.  Smoke free house.  Dry Colorado climate and pure Rocky Mountain Air. Bid with confidence, I am a private collector with 100% feedback.  You may pick the book up in person here in Colorado or at San Diego Comicon if shipping it bothers you.  Overstreet (#38 Edition) lists top guide at $175,000.  Start the bidding at $75,000 with no reserve.
