A nice upgrade in today's mail from @october.  My original, off the rack copy, was very well loved.  This was the issue where two important things happened: I got serious about collecting and discovered there actually was a place to buy "back issues" of comic books.

 

Wow, two awesome things to have connected to such a cool issue!!!

Whenever I glance at this cover my brain sees the Union Jack.

I traded an X-Men 100 for a MTU 17 back in the day.  Think I got hosed.

ASM #151 is one of my favorite Spidey covers.

I don't think I've seen ever a copy of MTU #33 without the mis-cut and white stripe on the top.

Wow. Just found your registry set. Impressive! Why stop at #100? Still looking to expand? Thanks for sharing!

I had raw copies of #100 to #150 that I bought off the stands. But I sold them when I them a few years ago when I tried to do some downsizing. I thought the stories got increasingly mediocre. And with a few exceptions, I'm not a fan of the covers either.

Barton do you have a list of issues you are actively looking to upgrade (without giving away specifics) or do you just target a book if you seen a potential upgrade candidate?

Yes, no, and sometimes.

I'm usually looking to upgrade any Picture Frame Marvel book, within reason.

For Silver Age, I'm mostly happy with what I already have.

I'd like to have every Bronze Age Spidey in 9.8. But I need to remind myself that my quality of life will not improve by spending $3500 to upgrade my ASM #156 from 9.6 to 9.8. And that Mirage is a pretty lame villain.
