Just checked this one off the list to complete 1-10 + some major keys. Now just need to upgrade the 2 and 3 to an 8.0 from 7.0 and 7.5. That may take years though....

Thanks guys.

Hey guys, haven't posted this to the boards yet....

I had a similar thought when I saw that right edge. It just doesn't look right at all. .....ASM 9 is common with pages extending.....check the HA archives for reference......a perfectly centered and aligned copy is tough. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u mine has extended pages to a lesser degree too bad you can't tell from the scan that they are about as bone white as i have ever seen in a silver age book... Yup mine has pages extending too...

Gorgeous! I am looking for this book in the 8.0 range. Nice to see raw beauties still around.

AWESOME! Is that the one that just sold on ComicConnect? Found a scan of that copy and verified that the recent ComicConnect auction was indeed the source . Nice pickup! The larger scan from ComicConnect's web site is below. I think I saw this copy at a local con circa 2002 or 2003 and seriously considered buying it. It ended up selling in a national auction I believe, trying to remember which one. The one I saw was definitely an old label 9.2 with ow/w pages and an extremely similar wrap. It had a sticker on the slab bag of $37K at the time which would've been a record price paid for grade, and I know it ended up selling for less but I can't remember the final price...somewhere from $29K to $35K I think. Met up with Steve and had an opportunity to hold the book in my hand today. It is a glorious copy. Incredible centering and near perfect corners. I didn't want to put it down (and it find it's way into my bag for a minute or two hehe) and literally stared at it for 15 minutes as we talked. Congrats again Steve. That is an absolutely AMAZING SPIDER-MAN.

Holy that is gorgeous! What an amazing example. I ASM 39 as well. It's funny how much more it is worth vs #40.

Just got this bad boy back from CGC to go into the keeper pile.

Ghost Town, looking at your ASM collection is like staring at the sun. It hurts my eyes but I can't seem to look away. They are all tremendous but your #9 and #28 are just ridiculous. Thanks for sharing!

Can I join?

Gorgeous. That's gonna be a pretty hot item Joey.... a 9.2 just sold for $844 (double GPA) on ebay last night!

Yup I'm kinda biased myself but I agree that the run from 1-50 is incredible and defines the Silver Age! To me it puts Avengers, X-Men, TOS and Thor to shame.... And so do the prices we pay to get them.

VERY nice Chromium.... looks just like mine! But it's not my favorite ASM.... I'm a sucker for #50

Thx

Five days after my Conan 1 9.4 ebay auction closed Bongo2001 has not paid or replied to me messages..... we will see how this plays out. I won't wait that long.
