The best for last... Cap, one of our all-time favorite characters, embodies patriotism and the American spirit. He is by far one of the most iconic superheroes that has been, and continues to strive nearly 80 years after his creation. He has also left a long list of great collectibles in his wake, and we are sure to re-visit him down the road one way or another.
For now, this post-Independence Day 2016, here are a few of our personal favorite Captain America collectibles.
Captain America #100 by Marvel Comics (1968)

Cap's "first" silver-age issue which followed his return from the ice in Avengers and some solo-storytelling in Tales of Suspense. One of the most key issues for good ole' Steve Rogers fans. One in decent shape can fetch upwards of $200 on eBay.
Captain America #332 by Marvel Comics (1987)

| Captain America #332 |
This might not be the most patriotic issue, but it is my favorite Cap cover done by the one and only Mike Zeck, and was part of a run of Captain America that helped re-define the character. Another must-have for Cap fans. You can get a decent copy on eBay for $20 or less.
Captain America Statue (Metallic) by Bowen Designs (2009)

Yes, Bowen Designs again. Because the statues are that good. No other statue producer we believe has gotten the likeness so right. This rare metallic version was a website exclusive. It stands 14" high and was limited to 1165 pieces. Goes for about $300 on eBay.
Captain America Secret Wars Figure by Mattel (1984)

We loved the Secret Wars line by Mattel from '84. Aside from this great Cap figure there was Wolverine, Baron Zemo and Hobgoblin to name a few of the more unique offerings. A sealed Cap can run you $100 or more on eBay (if the card is in good shape...)
See you all tomorrow for Top 10 Friday!
