  1. I’m not sure anyone is still following this thread, but the GN you have is one of the rarest Spider-Man GN in the world at this time. It was only released in the UK by Diamond Distribution UK. It was a free gift thank you given away to UK comic shop owners for making the new Spider-Man Torment collection a massive hit in the UK. There were only 926 copies distributed. One per shop. They consisted of the first 5 issues of Torment storyline. The entire 5 comics front and rear pages were bound into one GN. Out of those 926 copies it is surmised that only 30% are fn to nr mint. This was due to a mistake in the shrink wrap used and printing ink used on the inside of the front and back cover. If the wrap which isn’t acid free is left on forces the ink to seep into pages which makes them stick together. I have over the years seen vast variations in price for this item. When they were first being sold by the shops they went for £85.00 (not sure in dollars) however over the years prices have varied from £120 to £980. Do not underestimate this GN it is the sleeper that will become one of the hardest GN to get in the future, I’m seeing possibly one up for sale in a year. This of course limits the amount of complete collections worldwide to 926. Just looking at eBay today June 2019 one is selling for $499. They don’t come up that often and when they do, they sell. So my advise is to keep hold of your copy and take shrink wrap off.
