PGM: ASM #33

[Dark Knight]

Hello guys,

 

Just picked this one the other day. Lemme know your feedback on it. Thanks!

 

 

[CAP Freak]

7.5

[snitzer]

Right edge appears to be the only major issue. Pretty sharp looking book atta 7.0

[Dark Knight]

Yea, its the marvel chipping on the edge that would bring the condition of the book down. Without it, I'd say it would be around a 9.0-9.2.. Could marvel chipping really bring a book down that much? Thanks

[Aces]

That's a huge Marvel pre-chip.

 

Best bet is to slab it, sell it, and buy a better one.

 

Probably in the 7s but you might squeek an 8 out since they go soft on chipping.

 

[gernblanston]

That's a shame. It is a striking book except for the fatal chipping flaw. It might bump up to an 8.0 since the balance of the book is sharp and vibrant.

[Detroit MIke]

i'd say a 7.5 would be safe.

There's also a non color-breaking vertical crease that appears to go thru the whole book(More visible in the BC pic)

[Dark Knight]

Hmm, i'll check out that vertical non-vertical crease.. I don't think it's there.. COuld be because of the flash or something

[trmoore54]

I'd go 7.5 but agree it could bring an 8.0...NICE BOOK! One of my Top 5 ASM covers and stories...the interior artwork in this one is Ditko in his finest hour!

Good luck with the grade!

[Dark Knight]

Yeah, the book presents very well, if not for the marvel chipping on the edge. I'm even afraid to read the book to prevent creases from happening. I didn't know that the interior cover was done in Ditko's last moment.. THis book should be a must have for Spiderman collectors then.. Great to hear some background on it (thumbs u

[trmoore54]

I was doing a lot of artwork...illustration and painting at one time in my life (basically the early 70s) and I painted this cover a couple of times for friends...had a lot of fun with this one and if I do say so myself the two paintings I did of this cover were some of the best work I've ever done...

It's more of a roll than a crease . . .

This is one reason you don't buy photographed books.

It's more of a bend than a roll....

Schmend/Scroll . . . it's certainly not a crease

7.5

[bronzilla]

In my opinion this is the greatest SPIDEY arc bar none. May not be the most valued moneywise but you really get a sense of the inner strength as well as Physical strength Peter has in gettiing out of this mess. The writing and panel composition works incredibly well. Any one who cant afford the originals should pick this up in reprint....Awesome stuff!
