WE HAVE OTHER IMPORTANT MARVEL ISSUES ON EBAY NOW Crucial book for any fan of landmark silver-age comics or hot issues of the long-running Marvel titles. Or for the collector of nbsp exemplary examples of nbsp vintage Capt. America comics. It doesn t get nbsp any better than this . This high-demand issue which features a CLASSIC nbsp DEATH OF CAP COVER and the related story by Jim Steranko has always been elusive in the upper grades. nbsp Cap recently got nbsp hit films of his own, and he s also featured in the record-setting Avengers movies, making this milestone issue a blue chip of the highest order. nbsp nbsp It is amost non-existant in NM/MINT nbsp condition And the desirable nbsp spot-on centering nbsp is a real badge of honor, coupled with the superb alignment ensures this one truly is the best of the best nbsp IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU WANT AN IMPECCABLE EXAMPLE YOU MAY WANT TO BUY IT NOW, OR PREPARE TO WAIT COUNTLESS YEARS FOR YOUR NEXT OPPORTUNITY, AND EVEN THEN, YOU D HAVE TO BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME AS THERES NO TELLING IF THE NEXT ONE TO SURFACE WILL HAVE PERFECT CENTERING, AND ALSO HAVE GREAT ALIGNMENT, OR WILL nbsp EVEN MAKE IT TO EBAY OR ANY OTHER SITE YOU FREQUENT THIS ONE HAS A FRESH-OFF-THE-PRESS LOOK ABOUT IT, nbsp AND THE COLORS AND GLOSS ARE A SPECTACLE TO BEHOLD nbsp WITH A DARK COVER, WHICH IS SO UNFORGIVING, IT MAKES FINDING COPIES THAT ARE NICER THAN NEAR MINT VERY DIFFICULT, AND VERY FEW COPIES OF ANY GRADE CAN COMPETE WITH THE SUPER nbsp RICH COLORS AND HEAVY GLOSS THAT THIS nbsp COPY EXHIBITS. nbsp So if you miss this chance, you may be waiting quite some time for even a . , much less another . , and even then, another . still would likely fall short of this lustrous well-aligned gem when it comes to eye appeal. nbsp THIS COMIC HAS ALL THE HALLMARKS OF KEEPER, WITH THE PINPOINT-PRECISE CENTERING, PHENOMENAL GLOSS AND BLINDING-BRIGHT COLORS nbsp PLUS NOTE THE nbsp PERFECT ALIGNMENT AND OF COURSE THE nbsp FACT THAT THE COVER IS NOT DINGY ON THE REVERSE LIKE SOME OTHER HIGH-GRADE EXAMPLES. nbsp IN ADDITION, THIS DOESN T HAVE ANY EXCESS DISTRIBUTOR INK nbsp AT TOP EDGE, WHICH nbsp SOME OF THE OTHER PROFESSIONALLY GRADED HIGH GRADE nbsp EXAMPLES nbsp HAVE. nbsp nbsp EXPECT TO BE THRILLED WITH THIS GEM, MUCH LIKE THE OTHER EXCEPTIONAL MARVEL COMICS WE nbsp ARE nbsp NOW OFFERING. nbsp I ve always wanted my high-grade nbsp Marvel comics to have great cut and alignment, things that the certification companies scarcely consider when grading. nbsp So if you too are extra picky, and want copies that are not only well preserved and of exceptional structural quality, but also look like they were printed JUST RIGHT with nbsp attractive framing and deep color strike with nbsp accurate registration and sharp corners, and somehow they didn t pick up any excess ink or grease-pencils marks during the distribution process either, then you crave books of this caliber and you already know how seldom these opportunities arise. nbsp IF YOU ARE A LONG-TERM COLLECTOR OF HIGH GRADE VINTAGE MARVEL COMICS THEN YOU KNOW THAT THESE EARLY CAP S HAVE EMERGED AS FAN FAVORITES, AND TRUE BLUE CHIP COLLECTIBLES IN HIGH GRADE SHAPE. nbsp The dark green background of the cover nbsp provides great contrasts and is a treat to behold when the cover is unblemished by such pesky detractors as noteworthy creases or spine-stresses. nbsp These characters are already household names around the globe, thanks nbsp in part to the smash-hit films and record-setting DVD nbsp sales and all the toys and videogames and statues and animation and action-figures and clothing and nbsp plethora of other licensed merchandise. nbsp Captain America and Iron Man and Thor and nbsp Spider-Man and other Marvel superheroes are appearing in additional upcoming nbsp films too... nbsp It doesn t get any more Blue Chip than this nbsp nbsp nbsp This nbsp exceptional original first-print nbsp comic-book nbsp WILL find a new home, as the Buy It Now price is nbsp LOW and there is NO RESERVE nbsp ALWAYS SCARCE, nbsp BETTER THAN nbsp NEAR MINT nbsp SPECIMENS OF THIS nbsp LANDMARK -CENT ISSUE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SOUGHT OUT, YET OUR BUY IT NOW PRICE IS SET WAY LOW This nbsp historic comic is nbsp a real find in unrestored nbsp NM or better shape, as many copies had minute production flaws nbsp such as printing creases or nbsp Marvel Chipping, while others were read and re-read, time and time again, and with the glossy nbsp dark cover even the tiniest flaws seem magnified. nbsp However, this copy is spectacular, as it s super-clean and there is no nbsp noteworthy wear or aging, and it has precise printing registration. nbsp And the nbsp gloss is nbsp excellent, too nbsp nbsp This crushes most of the so-called Mint old comics I purchased over the decades back in the pre-CGC era. nbsp Good luck finding this level of eye appeal again in the future, as this beauty boasts deep nbsp rich nbsp uniform colors nbsp and a flat clean appearance, devoid of common problems such as nbsp print-creases and
