correct me if I am wrong but weren't 8.0s going for 450-500k+ a couple years back ?

Yep, one even went for $610k. Confucius say "be patient". My 8 is still here, where it lives.

Surprised my wife with a Christmas gift to her years ago. She was over the moon and made up for the goofy slippers (she reminds me)  I gave her the year before LOL.

nice retirement gift you gave her (no 401k required).

Very nice! With the Spiderman title showing and a nice even cut this copy looks good 👍 

I agree. I love the top of the splash page showing off.

I really don't get the attraction of the non-ASM pages at all. It seems very weird to me.

The "Letter" page?  Weird.

The Ditko art is attractive to collectors. The Bell Ringer is a good non ASM story.

Bought the complete 11-page story on ebay about 10 years ago. I don't think CGC graded single pages then. Ended up flipping for $700. What a (duh) I am.

If you could only have one page, this would be the one!

Probably the most important & iconic page ever created by a comic artist.

Batmanis#1 finally sold his Tec comics, donated the money to an animal rescue as he said he was going to do. He went to visit the rescue and the animals attacked and killed him

A joke??

If I had to pick a fave in the stash, it's...it's...all of them.

What a stash.

I'm a "poor" collector I only have one 8.0.

Found an old scan of when my AF15 first arrived before I got it reholdered.  Thought I'd share

 

Beautiful book.

the other nut left so I'll make a post of the only AF15 of note in the latest Heritage auction

The highest 8.0 sale I saw during Covid was $610k. That's roughly 1/2 of that.

I'm not a tax expert, but if you don't have a receipt, I would think the purchase price would be assumed to be $0.12.

I bought my copy of ASM #1 back in May, 1980, for $250. I'm not even sure if I got a receipt. However, assuming that I did, who keeps receipts for 43 years?

For an auction winner it’s easy. Keep your receipt. Your cost basis is what you paid for it.

Can you please share the phone # so I can call and ask to see if those books are available?

Better hurry offer expires June 1, 1968

Is there a limit?🤤

I haven't shared my copy in this thread yet, so here it is!  I've had this for just a bit over 40 years now.  Keep thinking one of these days maybe I will have it graded...

Hell no keep it raw. Here’s to 40 years.

Ok - I know I'm the outlier, but I enjoyed the constant thread bumps. The play by play pricing didn't really bother me because I love discussing this book. 

Not to mention the theater of his one random political rant... Those post are forever obliterated, but he certainly livened up the SA section. 

 

Outlier👍

Had no idea you could completely remove your history like that…..crazy 

The Moderator probably did it. He posted his sale and it was deleted by the Mod (I assume). I'm sure he had some "comments" for them upon leaving.

can't see the top half well but wow is that a gorgeous copy, and looks far better condition than the assigned grade. well done sir!

Weird but I thought it was an 8.5 first glance as you can’t tell the grade without a close up.

Of course! Still have mine! I thought about selling during the peak but I liked the book so much that I decided to keep knowing full well a crash is in the horizon. 

My kinda guy.
