Also, that image of Spider-Man may have first appeared as a colophon in 1967, but it dates from 1965, the main cover image of ASM Annual #2.

Without having a better and more complete shot of the front and a shot of the back I'd say it's a solid FN-VF/NM.

Wacky. I'd be surprised if it holds value over the long run.

My bad - I was looking at the wrong issue!

Check the CGC census, a single 8.0 is the highest graded copy, this 7.0 is 1 of only 2 second highest graded underneath, and only 10 copies slabbed total. The census is a significant factor in determining value. And that was a 2.5 with brittle pages that sold in July on Heritage, not a 5.0.

You've posted numerous big books in the PGM forum (Incredible Hulk #181, Fantastic Four #48, Amazing Spider-man #129, etc). If you don't do something to mitigate the humidity, you're going to kill your books along with their value. That foxing and mold will undoubtably spread. I would read up ASAP on proper paper storage, humidity levels, foxing, etc. Those books need to be stored in a room with a dehumidifier and the RH dropped 20-30% and kept stable. Microchamber paper will do nothing to solve your problem.

Here's a few of mine:

You need to buy a dehumidifier. Packets of dessicant aren't going to do much. You also need a hygrometer to measure the humidity in the room where you store your books so you have an accurate gauge.

Not the post you're referring to, but wasn't it this book? Scroll down halfway on p6.

Hooray for Stan Goldberg!!!

I love #102 and also have a sentimental attachment to it since the reprint was one of the first comics I read. $500 should get you a nice #102 in 9.0. But if I had $500 to spend on a Silver Age Hulk, I'd go for a lower grade #3, 4, 5 or 6. First and foremost, I get a bigger kick out of early issues. Over the long term, I think you'll see more growth, and those issues are rising in price faster than #102, which is a slow climber and one of the cheapest of the '68s. It's also a little too close to the Bronze Age for me. If the single digit issues were out of the picture, I'd got for the early TTA issues.

I like The War Report and am glad to see the authors finally recognizing there's other titles besides the Big 5. Although I'd be just as happy if they didn't; the less attention paid to books I'd like to buy the better.

I've always like the original BK series but unfortunately never picked up a copy before the blow-up. How can you not love a superhero who's a perfumed, handkerchief-toting, foppish pansy when he's not in uniform? Be a while before I complete that run now.
