    My point is simple: AF15 is not rare. It is a comic which a lot of people would like to own, but not rare.  In high grades, it is pretty rare but not so much below a 5.5.  I've seen repeat estimates of 10,000 copies out there. If you want to own it, it's available en masse.  Choose wisely.  The observations about speculators selling to speculators is not out of line.  I doubt it will go down and maybe it will go up in value but that's not a really good motive to want it. Buy it if you love it, love the process, love the genre. Love the bad artwork.  I would never want it slabbed. I'd want to read it, as I did over five decades.  Then, sell it when it's spent and can do something really constructive.  As to the credit card stuff, I've held it for a long time since it had an initial IPO. 

     

    I'd love to have some Green Lantern from the fifties, but I would only have paid newsstand price with an Orange Crush on the way to the beach. 

    I love the artwork and that is the most iconic comic cover in my opinion.  I also find the purple label looks good on that particular comic

    Is there a particular reason you are trying to make that book something it isn't?  Ock isn't "Superior" in that, okay?  And every time you want to believe that he might be, just look at the Ditko cover again.  It quite plainly tells you in which book the character was first coined.  (thumbsu

    Well to be honest i have more copies of 700 than 698, but to me regardless what he calls himself, if hes in peters body being spiderman, how would that not be andirst appearance of ock as spiderman.  Changing ones name or outfit wouldnt make him a different character if its the same person/body under the mask.

    Nice book. 

    Did you read it?

    He doesn't become "Superior" until Peter dies, which is his inspiration (a la the death of Uncle Ben) to be an "All New SUPERIOR Hero", explicitly INTRODUCED in ASM 700.

    I did read it.  But then what would this be considered as he is acting as spiderman in the book and its doc ock in control
