4.0 but looks like could get a decent bumb with a press

Hey there Some color rub on the back cover but the bend is probably pressable . Thanks in advance

Such a cool character and costume. Always thought he was cooler concept than the Rhino . Thanks !

9.0- 9.2. Thanks for posting

Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone!

I'd say 6.5-7.0

Thanks for the feedback

9.4 or 9.6 Be sure and get a good press on it !

Haha yeah . Love this book. 3.0- 3.5 imo

At least a 9.0 . Great pick up from way back when !

8.0 give or take on how the CP goes

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, after examining it more I tend to agree. I hoping a nice clean and press will help bump it up some more . I've definitely seen 9.8s with small color breaking tics . But you are right also about grading by photos .

Thanks everyone!

I hoping this is 9.8 material ! Thanks in advance

Thanks so much for commenting on them! I have a bunch of books I want to post and get graded !

Hello everyone, I'd love to hear your opinions on this book. My second posting to this

Hello everyone, First time submitting to this . This copy looks super clean except for the watermark on the top right corner and back cover . Wondering what the max grade for a book like this could be. Thanks so much !

I totally agree. That's been my thought process all along. But I have recently wondered about what the long term potential of a Spider-Man 1 CGC 9.8 signed by both Stan and Todd can be. Even though Lee signed so many books I do feel like his sig is demanding more of a premium and when combined with other creators like McFarlane it's even more rare. Also, the cultural significance of such a book and the fact that many collectors that are my age now (40) are such huge fans of this book and how it hits that nostalgia sweet spot for collectors my age. What's your shop? I need wait for a few other things to sell but I'm def interested in checking your copy out. Thanks for the input, everyone! It's helped a lot!

Hey everyone , I am selling some stuff and will have 10k to reinvest in comics. I need your thoughts and opinions about what i should do. I am trying to decide if i should buy a low grade ASM #1 , like a 1.5-2.0 , or if i want to use the money to buy a few books like a lower/mid grade ASM #14 , #129 , and possibly a Spider-Man 1 CGC 9.8 SS signed by both Stan Lee and Todd McFarlane. Not too knowledgeable about signature values but for me personally i grew up with McFarlane stuff and i know Stan's sig is not rare but when paired with Todd's i think is pretty dope and rare . What option will age better over the long term so when my kids cash in my books when i die they can get the most? Thanks so much !

Hey everyone , I have a white pages copy that is a 9.0 from the other major grading company but want to maybe resub it to CGC . I know CGC slabs do demand a higher return so i was curious what everyone's thoughts are. Also, what's everyone's thoughts on the long term hold on a 9.0 WP copy over the next 5, 10, or even 20 years?

Yeah, the writing is generally known to be lacking a bit, but as I've been rereading the entire run I find it so entertaining with some great ideas. Not to mention Capullo's wonderful storytelling abilities in all that he does with his penciling. The fact that he and McFarlane were so consistent for so long is just awesome and as a fan I truly appreciate it, especially since I'm such a fan of their work. Now we can go back and relish hundreds of issues that they collaborated on in this epic run. Oh, and in terms of storytelling, issue 179 has to be my single favorite issue I've ever read of Spawn, and it's up there in my top five of single issues of all time. The origin of War Spawn is absolutely amazing as a single issue story in the comics medium. David Hine and Mike Mayhew absolutely killed it with that issue and it will forever be one of my favorite issues in all of comics . Gunslinger is dope too, but in my opinion it's not even close to War Spawn. And hopefully the other titles stay around for years to come! I have to catch up on all of them.

Wow, everyone, I've learned so much in so little time since starting this thread! @newshane, thanks for your response. I totally get that the hunt is what makes it so fun and exciting but family does come first so respect. I'm still trying to process exactly what all you had and the epic scope of it. In a way I feel like some of the Spawn stuff that's lower print run and iconic will age very well. send along any links you have of the collection, pics or whatever. Would like to see . And wow, @Lobstrosity, kudos on that site. It's a great resource. Any recommends on next books to pick up as holds? I want to pick up some that I personally like because of cover appeal, interior art, or story regardless of collectability. But I want to slowly start getting more of the low print stuff before it gets out of reach for my broke self because I feel like these books are going to shoot up even more once the movie starts coming along. I know, I know, it's supposedly been coming out for like 15 years now

OMG, thanks so much for commenting everyone. That's amazing. When did you sell it and why? And why is 156 the hardest one to find in high grade? I've learned so much in so little time !
