One of my collecting goals for 2024 is to upgrade my copy of Amazing Spider-Man #14 CGC 4.5. I have found two CGC 6.5 copies, one on Instagram for $4,250 and one on ShortBoxed for $3,999. Here are some pictures and the grading notes for the $4,250 copy. Grader Notes Creasing to cover Light staining to cover Spine stress lines to cover Wear all edges of cover Here are some pictures and the grading notes for the $3,999 copy. Grader Notes Wear spine breaks color Light, multiple crease left top of back cover Multiple crease left bottom of front cover breaks color Small smudge center of front cover The $4,250 copy has white pages, but the seller has said the price is firm. The $3,999 has off-white to white pages, but since it is on ShortBoxed, I believe I might be able to purchase it for less than the current asking price. I believe (hope) that I can sell my ASM #14 CGC 4.5 for around $2,000, so my expenditure would be somewhere around $2,000. Also, I am not really looking for a book that I can improve; I am perfectly happy to have a 6.5 copy in my collection. So, if you had the choice, which book would you purchase and why? Thanks so much for your advice!

But soon to be replaced by this copy.

I was just about to post the same message. Don't give this scammer the time of day.

And here's today's entry:

I'm a little behind in this game, so here is my attempt to catch up.

It is yours, my friend!

Daredevil #18 Here are the issues as I see them: There are numerous spine tics along the spine of the front cover. There is a slight staple tear around the top staple. There is tanning on the inside of the front cover and on the inside and outside of the back cover. There is distributor spray along the top of the book; it is most noticeable on the inside of the cover and the splash page, perhaps due to water. The back cover seems to be dirty. There are creases along the spine of the back cover. The centerfold and the staples are firmly attached. I’m going to call this a Fine–. My asking price is $65 $45 shipped.

FF Annual #5 and FF Annual #6 are yours. Thank you!

Thank you, good sir!

I am happy to provide discounts to people who buy multiple books. As always, I am always willing to negotiate.

Hawkman #4 Here are the issues as I see them: This is definitely another well-loved book. There is scuffing along the upper right-hand corner and top of the front cover. There is a 1” spine split at the top and bottom of the book. There are two stains near the bottom staple of the front cover, which appear on the inside of the front cover and the first two pages of the book. There are some major creases in the bottom right-hand corner of the front cover; in addition, many of the bottom right-hand corners of the interior pages are folded over. There is definite water damage along the top of the book, and it is noticeable throughout the entire book. There is a definite tear near the bottom staple of the back cover. The back cover shows a lot of dirt. There is a chip at the top of the back cover. The centerfold and staples are firmly attached, although the staples are showing evidence of rust.

Fantastic Four Annual #5 Here are the issues as I see them: There is a definite reader’s crease along the spine of the front cover.

The back cover is showing some dirt, along with creases along the spine. There is a slight tear near the middle of the spine on the back cover.

Fantastic Four Annual #1 Here are the issues as I see them: This is another well-loved book. There is tape that runs the length of the spine. There is a piece of tape along the bottom of the inside of the front cover. There are also three pieces of tape on the inside of the back cover. There are numerous creases on both the front and back cover. There seems to be several examples of color touch on the front cover - along Reed’s leg near the spine of the front cover, on Spider-Man’s costume at the bottom of the front cover, and in the Marvel price box. I determined this by seeing evidence of bleed-through on the inside of the front cover. There are several small tears along the top of the back cover, along with another tear on the bottom of the back cover. There is a small stain in the lower left-hand corner of the back cover. The back cover seems quite dirty. The cover is starting to pull away from the insides of the book, but there is no spine split. The staples are firmly attached. I’m going to call this a Good–.
