Item Description

As a 40 year serious collector I have acquired a vast inventory of most major Marvel and DC titles, as well as many Independents, Graphic Novels, Trades and hard Cover books. I believe my grading to be conservative and based on one THING, Can the book pull the said grade from Third Party Graders Like CGC, and CBCS. Ive submitted many books for grading and I have also cracked out plenty of CGC and CBCS books for my personal collection over the years. I will securely and promptly ship all orders and will be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. I will continue adding more comics, cards and books to my store here. Thank You for stopping by for a look.Ive been an Hip member since 1999 and a Top Rated Hip seller with 100% Positive Feedback for over a decade.

The time has come for me to start selling my treasured High Grade Captain America collection. As a life long collector of high grade comic books I completed this Captain America Run, Yes ALL 454 issues. It took me a little over 10 years to complete the entire run in the higher grades I was looking for. Some were cracked out from CGC / CBCS slabs. I will be listing more high grade Silver Age Cap books as time allows.

All the books I will be listing are Original unaltered books. None have ever been pressed or altered in any way.
I have been a long term seller of Comic Books and other collectables for over 20 Years and Hip Comic for the past 5 years. Please check my feedback.
My goal is a Smooth transaction with serious buyers looking to add higher grade Silver Age books to the collections.

* Welcome Back to another Great Captain America Issue I have up for sale here on Hip! This issue features one of my all-time favorite Captain America Covers by the legendary Gil Kane and John Romita! This particular book is in Very nice condition with some minor wear, mainly a few tiny stresses by the staples. The book still exhibts nice Original cover color and gloss with minimal surface wear (No Creases). The interior of the book is complete with the Jack Kirby Red Ghost Marvel Value stamp... NO:Cut Outs,Writing etc... Along with clean tight staples and white page quality, the book has a perfect cover wrap adding to it's great eye appeal. I really,really wanted to call this great looking book an 8.0 VFN, but I think it's more likely to be a solid 7.5 VFN- candidate with most grading companies out there. Finding 50 year old comic books out there in higher grades is no easy task...... good Luck finding a nicer copy of this classic Cap Issue floating around out there!
