Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #6  

I just went to my LCS and found FOUR copies in the back issue box.  Probably all VG to VF, all selling for $2.95.

Went to the SC Comic Con, bought the doughnut (a nice little Krispy Kreme special) and got the book.  Scanned a QR code, got an email offering Bunsen Beaver 2 for two first customer pins.  I have the pins from previous purchases so I'll bite (pun fully intended).

I guess so, but the pages appear to be nicer. Maybe the pay copy was stored in a different location than the other copies—in a filing cabinet instead of a box in the attic or something like that.

It would be nice to see another copy or two turn up. Maybe Jacquet gave some sample copies to someone who saved a couple of them. One can hope. (I'm not sure whether any copies were actually given out at theaters.)

I wonder who got those 8-9 copies once they were found in Jacquet's estate sale (in other words, how they came to the market). I know Jon Berk got one eventually... wonder how he acquired it.  I love stories about how these books made their way from the estate sale to wherever they are today.  Just doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this book (even the wiki article just says they were found in the estate sale and nothing further).

So of the 9 (if that's correct) copies known to exist, does anyone know the backstory of the ones that didn't come from the Jacquet estate, or did all 9 come from there?  Just curious how the other ones were first discovered who if anyone knows who had them originally.
