The Captain America Comics #1 in context
Why collectors care
Captain America Comics #1 (1941) is the first appearance of Captain America, a Golden Age landmark famous for its cover of Cap punching Hitler, published before the United States entered the war. It is one of the most valuable Golden Age keys.
How to identify it
A genuine 1941 Timely first printing, not the many reprints or replica editions. Only graded copies with airtight provenance transact at the top of the market.
Common mistakes
Reprints and replicas are routinely confused with the original. Restoration is nearly universal on surviving copies and must be disclosed.
Grade considerations
Very few high-grade copies survive, so census position, restoration, and provenance define value far more than the grade number alone.

Recorded sales by grade · how this summary is built+
Newest recorded sale: 2026-07-29. This summary describes stored history.
Inclusion
All 1 recorded eBay sold (completed) listings in this historical sample, grouped by grader and grade. Asking prices and active listings are never counted.
Outlier handling
Within any grade that has four or more sales, a price below one-third of, or above three times, the within-grade median is set aside before the median is taken. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
A comic sale that sold for under a third of the median of this issue's lower-grade sales is also set aside as a probable reprint, facsimile, later printing or restored copy, since a higher grade of the same book should not sell for less. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
| Grade | Sales | Included | Set aside |
|---|---|---|---|
| CGC 9 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
