    A beautiful tight, clean, glossy book with a spotless back cover and w/ow pages. There are no flaws other than what you see on the front cover. The white line is a surface scratch. I just don't know how the tape pull on MM's shoulder and chest affects the overall grade. I am glad that the pull isn't on the black where it would be much more noticeable. Thanks in advance for all your opinions.

    Me want both but no money.

    Don’t forget Andru. I’m not a big fan of his run but it was a long one.

    I just watched a YouTube video about this. Do as instructed in the above post. They won’t charge extra if your estimate is reasonably accurate.

    Hmmm...looks familiar.

    I absolutely love that cover. An Infantino masterpiece.

    121 is a 1973 book. Way after the silver age. I don’t think there’s a firm line between silver and bronze but many think it’s the increase from 12 to 15 cents. I remember that traumatic moment in time very well.

    That's some neat stuff, Rick!

    Here’s my raw mid grade copy. I got a great deal on it from a fellow boardie.

    A couple more yellows; one silver, one bronze:

    Ouch. That’s a beautiful book. It would be easy to spot with the 1-23 date written in the D.

    Some mellow yellows: I couldn’t resist including a bronze age classic:

    Only the greatest cover in comic book history.

    Especially in 9.0!

    Some beautiful Spideys there!

    I’m loving that DD! I would really like to upgrade mine but I haven’t figured out a way to afford it.
  22. JohnH19
    That is a perfectly placed sig. Beauty!

    Marvel Masterworks and Omnibus books have the best quality reprints and they look good on a bookshelf. ASM Omnibus Vol 1 includes the whole Ditko run and it’s back in print.

    Grading can be somewhat inconsistent so I would go by eye appeal more than the number on the slab. I would gladly buy a beautiful 7.0 over a flawed 8.0. That being said, I only have two graded books in my ASM collection, three if you count my Golden Record #1. I like my books raw, just like my...oh, never mind.

    The good news is that you could sell or trade your AF 15 and get minty copies of both ASM 1 and 14!
