Description:
A different restored NM Cap #1 than the equally superb gem I listed and sold 4 months ago, here is the large image link for this comic:

This listing is for an incredible, slightly professionally restored Captain America #1 in apparent NM condition with creamy off-white pages, featuring the first Captain America appearance, published in 1941 by Timely (Golden age Marvel Comics).
It has slight color touch, several minor "invisible" tear seals, and a very tiny piece replaced (1/16th inch), all professionally done, that will not be visible to most hobbyists. This gem does not look or feel restored.
It has not been trimmed.
The comic is glossy, clean, original, and complete.
The colors are superb, brilliant hues, and very rare deep, brilliant cover reds (most have long faded to orange), the paper quality magnificent.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS COMIC IS BEING LISTED AS RESTORED with FULL DISCLOSURE and WILL GRADE RESTORED IF AND WHEN SUBMITTED.
An apparent grade reflects the overall appearance after restoration.
This was obviously a beautiful high grade example prior to the minimally slight pro restoration.

Yeah, having been on the CGC forums for almost a decade at this point, I'm fully aware of the robojo33/comic-keys/danny dupcak/richard koos saga. I just don't editorialize on this particular feature very often. If someone wants to pay him $24,000 for a raw book, and it tops the week's tables for comics, I'm going to end up reporting it here on Sunday.
