Post your top grail books

I've never been a grail/key collector but there are always books in each title that mean the most. Often it is the last one that I pick up. These are the ones I put the most into getting.

Great post!

 

My ultimate grail is Captain America 46, but I don't think I can even afford a restored 1.0 right now! So, my next best few consist of my Marvel 64;

Must have come from the same stash as this one, they even have the same name on the cover (although he must have changed thread...). Do you have any other info on it? I only know of one other existing copy of this issue. I've seen at least one other Khaki, and I believe there may be 2 or 3 others.

In my mind, a "grail" is determined by cost and/or rarity. With that in mind, these are probably mine (in alphabetical order):

This book is just the epitomy of your collection. Ridiculous rarity, pedigree, grade etc. aside, the scary-gorilla theme just screams late 1930s. And it is wonderful to see that you have added two new favorites in the last few years.

Back in the Dark Ages, before the advent of the Internet and the auction houses, it was sometimes a challenge to track down certain issues.

 

It might be hard to believe today, but this one was a toughie for me and it represents a true grail for me.

A close second for me because...well, no explanation needed, really.
