    Amazing Spider-Man #17 VF: $1,000

    2nd app. Green Goblin

    Small impact ding on lower right corner of bc that does not break colors. Small tear on upper edge of fc. Also, has an arrival date on fc. Presents better than its technical grade.

    There is also some ink transfer from another book when it was printed. It's not stains nor dirt. You can see it on the title in the fc.

    The spine on this raw copy is simply gorgeous but there is that arrival date that can bother some people (like me) although CGC doesn't seen to care about such defects these days... If you don't mind it though, then it's a gorgeous copy for the price.

    Would you buy a ratty unrestored 2.0 vs a nicely restored 6.5? I don't get it?

    Hmmmmm....... for higher value books I have no problem with well-done restoration,,, that being said,, I avoid trimmed books completely. I collect for the enjoyment,,,,,and after 40 years,,,I still love the hobby,,,although the rising values have put a damper on my journey,,,, I'm quite happy with my collection,,,even if my family don't quite understand it. I suppose "understanding" is secondary to "appreciating" when it comes to yours ,,,,,or my collecting hobby.
