One day when I was home sick from school, my father brought me this, based on the supercool cover:

I didn't understand the "What If?" concept and, since the only Captain America story I'd ever read was the origin of the Red Skull from Bring On the Bad Guys, I hadn't known Captain America HAD been unfrozen and was "alive today." I thought all his adventures took place in WWII and this was a real story, in continuity, that would allow him to take part in the upcoming "Secret Wars" story I'd heard about.
Well, I eventually figured it out, and, even though I wasn't familiar with the evil replacement Cap who'd been retconned in to explain the 1950s stories, I still love this issue.
Some other faves:
Three a student teacher of mine from fifth grade lent me:

And some I dug during the revival (which was basically "What excuse can we use to kill Spider-Man this time?"), albeit with a grain of salt, now:
