  1. All raw. I’m not really into slabbed books.
  2. It did pal, sorry I thought my ! showed I got it and was joking back.
  3. That was my thought also. if you’re in the gold medal position it can only be a good thing for other early keys of course, not a good thing for me who is half way to completing a run of 1-100
  4. Haha ive passed on opportunities to buy this but problem solved now !!’
  5. Great copy. Due to the predominantly black cover it can be difficult book to get in good condition
  6. If ( and it’s a very big if ) this breaks the record, is there an automatic spike in other ASM issues or not ? We all know ASM is the flagship most collected book so if AF15 becomes the valuable is there any trickle down from this do we think ?
  7. Apologies if already said, but ASM is iconic as they come. So right they kept it for 394 issues and 31 years. I mean, there has been worse than the new one but just why bother
  8. As much as I’d love to see it, I can’t see it beating the AC1 record. Yes it’s better value, Spidey is way hotter than Superman, Marvel over DC but it’s just not a scare enough book to beat it. of course I may be completely wrong and not can’t wait to see how this plays out.
  9. I always found it annoying that Bagley did 5 straight covers on ASM that were all very similar. Sure it was planned but I don’t get it
  10. ASM 326 ? have I missed something here or do you mean 316 ?
  11. I remember thinking it was a decent enough copy. I recognised it by the sticker. Being honest, as I wasn’t looking to bid on it I didn’t pay a great deal of attention. knoeing what you paid, plus the buyers tax it’s probably about right. I wouldn’t say you got a bargain but I don’t think you overpaid also.
  12. I thought I recognised it ! I was at the auction as I live nearby so saw the comic in the flesh. I didn’t bid on that but I did on other copies of ASM.
  13. Sounds terrible pal, hope all is ok now and you’ve kept things that are important to you
  14. I agree fully. likewise comics and vinyl are MY thing. I’d sell the house before these 2. Too many sentimental and good memories to part. god, take these 2 things away from me and nobody would want to live with me. I’d be a right miserable ****
  15. Welcome back. in my humble opinion,comic books are the greatest medium for telling the story of art and plot and make no bones about it, stories have been important since the Dawn of time. Do what makes you happy buddy.
  16. Random question and I may be totally wrong but have you just won that at auction in the UK ??
  17. 5.5, looks good to me great book and cover.
  18. 3.5 dont slab it. read it and enjoy it as Stan and Steve intended
  19. Delighted to pick up this iconic issue today. In my opinion one of the most iconic opening lines out there.
  20. Same. I own the book aswel ! it’s easily my least favourite spidey cover
  21. We don’t see venom in 298. We see a hidden Eddie Brock with black stuff crawling up his arm. That’s not a first full appearance
  22. Wow that’s a great collection you’ve put together and best of luck getting that issue 6 soon. Yeah AF15 is the ultimate but my head says it may not happen !
