Primetime

I rationally buy FF 218 and Hulk 269 - the first Marvels I selected from my 7-Eleven spinner rack. Both my OO copies of each book are in the photo along with second hand copies.

I'm still with Gotham Kid on his prediction. Hope it goes for $90k+ though.

ah yah, sure Harold.

Sure, the next "best" thing...just like ASM 1 if an AF15 can't be had. Or a Supe1/Action 7 in place of an Action 1. It may only be partial satisfaction for some collectors, but it is the closest thing to the top.

2.0 - 2.5

Does anyone know if it's recommended to frame original art pages while it is in Mylar?

Jack was a good solider. He was given the first opportunity to draw Spider-Man, but his version looked very much Captain America like (boots and all) and was not the look that Goodman and Stan was looking for. In fact, Ditko pointed out that Kirby's version of Spidey looked too much like the Fly (1959, Archie book by Joe Simon) and Marvel would risk legal action if they went with Kirby's version. Ditko was given a shot at the design and his was chosen. He just didn't get the nod for the AF15 cover. Here is the dead on swipe of Cap 7: http://www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/comic.php?comicid=90911

I'm sure Ditko forever felt severely slighted as his visual costume concept was accepted but he would only get to ink the AF 15 cover. I think both versions are pretty average and neither above and beyond one another. That said. Ditko's first version should have been selected. Alas, that's enough Silver age Ditko talk in the Timely thread
