    As with any book. You buy the book you can afford at the highest grade possible. Why did the hobby turn into the stock market? Prices will drop eventually, but by how much? What if the next Venom movie stinks? What if it is better that the last one? Why is collecting sooo hard!

    I agree.

    Then you know the answer to your question.

    I'm guessing your too young to know what comics on the comic rack looked like back in those days.

    My first thought-If its a book you want, focus on the book. not the grade. Most 9.2's or higher look great. There are too many people in the "Hobby" who's real hobby is to make as much money as possible. The 9.8 grade in my opinion is just bragging rights. I know people won't like that comment but it is how I feel. My second thought-Why ask if you should buy the book. Its your decision. Are you willing to accept a loss if you buy now? You will have the book you always wanted, so who cares if it loses value?

    Someone gave me a coverless DD 103 when I was really young. I thought it was a Spiderman book for a long time since he was on the splash page. Its a book I remember fondly and it used to irk me that Overstreet wouldn't note Spiderman's appearance. Maybe it does now, I wouldn't know since I stopped buying Overstreet about 10 years ago.

    yay!!!!! so the thread is over???

    The only reason it is popular is because of the name and image attached to the book. I agree that the art could have been better.

    Wow I need to press my copy to hell and send it in for a grade.
  14. mysterymachine
    9.2

    I don't mind variants if they have fantastic covers, but I don't understand why any comic company would pay so many mediocre artists for ugly covers. If you are a completest, that has to really hurt to see those in your collection.

    6.0

    I would say 8.0. It will definitely beat your 7.0 book.

    It could be minor insect chew. Silverfish like eating paper.

    Yes, it looks like its already been pressed. I agree that it should grade 9.2-9.4 .
