Spyder!

Really great book Al! Thanks, Jared and everyone else! Can't wait to finish my Ditko run! The Ditko books are just the greatest things ever! I recently added a copy of #9 in CGC 6.0. I have a long way to go though for the whole run.

Really great book Al!

I would love to add to my AF family by picking up 1 or 2 low grade copies (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 1.8) In 2016, I am thinking I might upgrade from my rag copy to something slightly more respectable. We'll see though, prices are getting so high! I bought a 1.8 last year for $5,000 and now 1.8's are going for way more than that. If the right book comes along, I will pull the trigger and upgrade.

Neither had I. I knew that there were 3 now on the census, but I was only aware of 1 sale.

Here's my earlier post (one of the first). I'm not slamming the book in any way. Just making observations. I will add to my post and say it is one heckuva book and deserves the golf clap.! I think where Barton is coming from and where I do come from is when people make statements like 'OMG, what an overgraded POS - that book should only grade a ___!' If you're friend owned the book they probably wouldn't say that but instead would either pump the book or just remain silent. But the internet seems to enable people to disconnect from remembering that any given book is owned by an actual person out there and that their auction prices could suffer from someone's hyperbolic posts. There's a big difference between saying something like "I'm not a fan of tanning" and "OMG what a POS!" Yes, I am exaggerating a bit to make my point. True enough, but the potential buyer is also an actual person. Noting problems with a book that the buyer might overlook helps that person, while potentially hurting the seller. Unfortunately, it's a zero-sum game. This is only a zero sum game if both buyer and seller recieve the same marginal utility per dollar on the sale price of the book. That is unlikely. It is quite likely that both buyer and seller will end up with economic surplus, meaning the seller will get more than their minimum willingness to sell price and the buyer will procure the book for less than their max willingness to pay. Both parties will be made better off. And I agree with comments posted here that comments made on this site are very unlikely to affect the price. Beautiful book IMO. I'm glad I got the chance to stare at the scan, tanning and all.

Just swapped out my blue label 1.0 for a yellow label 1.0.

Wow, that is a beauty! One of my very favorite books for sure, congrats!

Just amazing! Congrats Wow, nice twins! So nice to see them side by side. How long before you get another 7.0? And what is your ASM 1 situation like?

Most likely chips filled and then removed but I think the glue notation hurts it more. Shouldn't the ragged removal of chips equate to a trim? If you look closely at the right edge you can tell that extra material has been removed (more than the original marvel chipping). Looking at this comic it makes me wonder.... if you found a purple labeled AF15 with a microtrimmed right edge, and you chipped up the right edge to look like this one.... would you end up geting a blue label? Oh no, you just inspired a whole bunch of purple label purchases and amateur attempts at making trimmed edges look like chipping.

I am not surprised at all. Coverless copies go for 500 at least when slabbed. That book looked pretty good with the exception of Spidey being cut out. Nice spine and corners, etc. I was tempted to bid on it myself. My rough CGC .5 copy sold for over 1,100 a couple months ago and had no back cover. The copy you are referring too was much nicer in my opinion.

Thanks to boardie thirdgreenham I am back in the club!

Just bought an ASM #1 from Andy and everything went great! I have no reservations about dealing with him whatsoever, and neither should you! Thanks Andy.

Wow, is that in addition to the 4.0 you recently got back from CGC?

Welcome!

7.5 to me. Looks nicer than the 7.0 I recently sold.

Great stuff SpiderTurtle!

Best mystery box win ever!!!

Presents better than many .5's out there, mine included! Nice book.

congrats Why would anyone want 2 AF 15s? Beats me. King of the SA. Why not...I have two. I believe it was a joke. Peewee22 probably has at least 2 copies.

Very nice! If I were you I would definitely crack it, try to get the resto removed and resub.

Hello and welcome to the boards! This is probably better suited for the Bronze Age section. Feel free to share any Silver Age Spidey books here though!

Wow, that is tragic! No Spidey on the cover! I sold my .5 copy last month for just over 1100. This one may go for more.

There is either something very wrong with you, or very right with you, I am just not sure which. Nice books!

I don't see this grading any higher than a 3.5. I would feel very comfortable calling it a 3.0

8.0 all day.
