Let’s hope so as I can’t afford anything the way things are now 

Although I do love seeing the value of my collection continue to skyrocket, I understand the feeling!  I've been looking to upgrade a few of my early Spidey's but that just won't be happening in the near future!

Crazy ( or maybe the new normal?) 

This book is at $800.0 with 9 hours to go.

Go Prowler Go!

Have to imagine at some point there will be an adjustment.  No idea when that time will be though, doesn't appear anytime soon

just imagine what a ped copy might go for!!!

Ped copies for all Spidey keys would be through the roof!  

Spidey SA has been crazy hot.  Never seen prices like these before

Been forever since I picked up an ASM I needed. 

Congrats Jeff!  I know you've been looking for that one for a very long time and it's a beauty

It looks like that Kirby vacuum cleaner didn't hold him for long

When I’ve been searching for a book for over a year and have never actually seen the book I’m looking for in the grade with the page quality I’m looking for, yeah... I’m willing to take some outside the box chances.  Nothing to lose; if it doesn’t work out I just resell it.  And another thing, wanting a downgrade has nothing to do with OCD.  Collecting strictly white pages does for sure, but the linear 5.0 run I’m putting together is just a fun project it wasn’t born out of OCD.  When I’ve already come this far, maybe this picture will help you understand why I’d want to downgrade a 5.5 when I only need 1 more book to complete a full 1-20 run (plus AF15 and annual 1) in the same grade and page quality.

 

On another note, probably not the best idea to openly criticize the way someone chooses to collect.  Next time I’d keep those thoughts to yourself.  Or if you’re so baffled by the concept, PM me instead.  There’s plenty of remarks I could make about your books, even in high grade, but I instead choose to respect that people collect for different reasons and I appreciate when other people are proud of their books and want to show them off and that’s what a forum space like this is all about (or at least should be).

That's quite an incredible accomplishment so far Dave!  Not only all in the same grade and PQ but also all in the same newer CGC cases!  Coming from a fellow white page collector, I know the amount of effort and frustration involved searching and acquiring some of these Spidey books in specific grades.  I'm still looking for certain issues to complete my run and the fun of the hunt and challenge makes it all worthwhile for me...

Lots of Electro love on this page! 

That is a very generous 9.4.  With those small bottom right and top right corner creases alone, it could easily fall into the 9.2 grade.  In my experience, re-holdering has never changed the grade, but there is always a possibility

It’s extremely pretty. Maybe the nicest annual I’ve ever seen. It’s so difficult to find them raw in high grade condition.

And beautifully centered with a near perfect spine wrap on this annual

Here is the current status of my CGC 5.0 WP Project.  The next time I post an update will be upon it's completion when I finally procure an ASM7 to finish off this linear run!!!!!!!

If anyone has any leads on a copy please PM 

Now that is really sweet looking!!  Fantastic accomplishment so far, looking forward to your next update to complete the Spidey run 

And there are many buyers that are strictly White page collectors out there.  They enjoy the challenge of finding certain issues in specific CGC grades with White pages.  I started a "White Page Appreciation" thread in the silver age forum after I completed my ASM 1-25 White page run that took me many years to complete 

Gorgeous book Dave! Gotta love those White pager's and very tough to find on early Silver Age DC's 

Beautiful books!!  Love the pedigrees

My biggest pickup in a while.

I can now say I've got #14-100 in 9.4 ... in the process of upgrading #101-150 from 9.4 to 9.6, which is going a lot slower than I thought it would.

Congrats on the achievement Sweet Lou!
