My very first purchase off of eBay was the original Amazing Spider-man #1. I had just worked all summer of 1998 saving money for my freshman year of college when lo and behold I discovered eBay. The issue was purported to be in Very Fine condition and starting bid was $1,900. After some serious consideration and discussion with my two best friends, I took the plunge and submitted the winning bid. No Marvel chipping or writing. Really solid book. 3 years later I submitted it to CGC, came back an unrestored 4.0. I treasured it for an additional 3-4 years before selling it for $2,400. The buyer was super pleased and messaged me after receiving it felt it was at least a 5.0. One of my regrets, but at least I owned one.
