A few of my Asm's
I always love to upgrade my comics. I am trying to complete the first 50 Amazing Spider-Man comics in a 7.0-9.2 condition exception of the AF15 & ASM1 way too expensive for me. The highest grades Id want for an AF15 is a 4.0 and a ASM1 at a 6.0. I really don't even mind the page quality as long as these books do not have tan or brittle pages. Since these are slabbed I at least want a clean cover.
I first became interested in Silverage Spidey when I purchased an ASM 1 a
Auctions and thoughts
A few weeks ago or a week ago...I was trying to win an auction at HA.com for a tech69 at a 6.0. I was actually the highest bidder at around $1400. I thought I had the book when the Live part of the auction came around and I was busy with Family and I literally lost the book for someone who paid $50 more dollars.

The first copy I came across was a CGC 8.5. I decided to bid on it because I really loved the art and was surprised I hadn't really known about this book earlier. It comes down to the last few seconds of the auction and I had bid over the overstreet price
I am new! Just getting the feel for sending books to CGC (it's nerve recking)
It has only been about 1 year since I started to collect comic books. I really liked the art of Marvel comics Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It opened my eyes to the comic book art. I don't really read the books themselves. I only read the graphic novels(if I get really curious to read it). Some of my favorite art is the early years of Spiderman. I honestly thought this AF15 would grade at least a 2.5 or 2.0 but it didnt...
