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 at a 1.5 from a show. I had never owned anything from the Silverage until then. I soon started to buy more Spideys but in really low grades. Ever since then I have upgraded all of them.

Example- I Upgraded my ASM 1 (1.5) to a 4.5 restored figured out restored books were not for me so I upgraded to a 3.0 you see in the picture.

I began to buy and upgrade every 6 months until I was able to achieve the better grades. The main problem is that the upgrades are getting expensive! The ASM 2 at a 6.5-7.0 runs for about $1400 to $1700. If I sell mine I can probably get about $650-750 for my book. Every book in this picture has been upgraded some up to 4 times. The next book I'd love to have in a 7.0 or higher is ASM14. I have had a hard time finding one at a 7.0-7.5. It seems everyone has an 8.0-8.5 for sale.

Either way this method is pretty fun and I keep myself occupied. Sometimes I get distracted and buy random slabbed comics just because I thought the book had a beutiful cover. Anyways thanks for reading.
