Just Graded!!!
001 Ultimate Spider-Man 1 11/11 Marvel Comics Signed Edition Signature 9.8 WHITE SIGNED & ""WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY!"" BY STAN LEE ON 8/18/11 (CGC NUMBERED ""9/100"")
Poly-bag removed.
Ultimate Spider-Man 1 Signed Edition CGC 9.8 SS Signed by Stan Lee with the added "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility!" First new Black/African American (for you PC folk) Spider-Man!
The book is numbered #9 of 100.
This is the SIGNED EDITION! Only 100 produced and signed by Stan Lee in his offices in the presence of Joe Pierson of CGC. These 100 copies were then put back into circulation with the regular print run and polybagged. They have slightly different front cover (Says Variant + is lighter), and if I recall a completely different back cover (COA actually printed on back). Another regular cover was actually wrapped around the book before it was polybagged so someone couldn't see that it was the signed edition. I forgot to take a pic before I subbed to CGC at WW Austin where I found the book.
Only the first 10 of 100 were signed "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility". For more information on the rarity of this book check this CGC News Article:

At this time I'm aware of only 4 of the 10 being found. I've been told 2 others were recently graded 9.6 by CGC, and a raw VF+ copy sold on eBay for $1400 last month.

I'm asking $5000 shipped, and the book is currently on hold until I hear back from my two Ultimate Spider-Man 9.8 pre-screen subscribers (they have dibs).
Serious inquiries only. If the book doesn't sell I will just hold onto it.
SOLD!!!
