I think so, but it wasn't so much a "time" as it was just an editorial mistake early on. I'd have to go back and check, but I'm fairly confident that happens in at least one issue, but it may even only be in one story of that issue (back when issues had multiple adventures in them)

That's a beautiful copy!

lmao yeah, i guess that's next. i wish i would've realized that that was essentially a Spidey book much earlier.

I actually forgot to mention that it also completes my run of every mainline Spidey issue pre-1999 reboot when they pared the line down to ASM/PPSM. I now have complete runs of ASM, Spectacular, Web, Adjectiveless, and Sensational. I'm pumped

Those are some good lookin copies!

Finally received mine, and as with the previous Spider-Man and Avengers, it's everything I hoped for and more. Gotta admit, though, I have no idea how you get a low number edition. I put in my pre-order literally the second the listingwent live--I keep odd hours and yes I was constantly refreshing the Taschen website daily for weeks--and got #652. I don't care that much, but I definitely thought I had a chance at getting a sub-100 but alas

At long last, my run of 1-500 is officially complete. And only 2 more annuals to complete my run of annuals released during that same run.

He must've updated it, because apparently I already have this listing saved. I think previously it only went up to issue 800 or so. He's a local (to me), good dude whom I've bought from a few times.

#2. I don't want to count my chickens--or in this case, vultures--before they hatch, since it hasn't physically arrived yet, but it's a reputable seller I've done plenty business with. I'm just holding off on popping the champagne until it's literally in my short boxes.

I *might* have grabbed the last issue I need to complete my 1-500 run, and let me tell you, I am excited.

Yeah, mine arrived today, but as I mentioned I'm not going to be able to "review" it until Christmas, as I'm handing it over to my mom to be her gift to me this year lol.

Well, mine is currently in the state, but I imagine it won't get here until Monday, since I doubt UPS will be delivering it on Sunday.

I've watched reviews of them, and there's just nothing there---in my opinion---to remotely justify the additional $400 price tag. Literally the only difference is the smaller print run, a slightly fancier book mark, and a mildly different cover treatment, all of which are pretty clearly laid out in the listings for them. There's no additional content, like scans of original art or interviews, that isn't included in the standard edition, which is itself a limited initial run of 5000 copies.

I may receive it earlier, but I'm not allowed to open it until Christmas, lol. Despite being a full-grown adult, my mom insists my brothers and I request at least one item she can wrap as a gift, and it seemed like a fine candidate. I can certainly vouch for the quality of Spider-Man and Avengers, though. I can't imagine FF will not meet the standard they've set.

Well, I ordered mine directly from Taschen and have been provided a shipment number and carrier. Just waiting for it to be sent out.
