W. R. Collectibles Features Early Spidey Mags on Ebay

 

 

Hello Darthdiesel's Comics & Collectibles,

 

Last week was so successful for us here at W. R. Collectibles we met our sales requirement to maintain our Silver powerseller status! We'd like to thank you for participating in what has been our most successful sales week on eBay EVER and invite you to take a look at what we have to offer this week. Aside from the plethora of high-grade modern X-Men and Spider-Man books, we'd like to draw your attention to our featured auctions this week. Closing on Wednesday, we will have 10 books from an old early Amazing Spider-Man collection. These books range from #13-35 and in GD to FN/VF condition. These all make great readers and a couple are actually decent CGC candidates considering the time period. Here's a brief review of those upcoming auctions:

 

 

 

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 13 1ST MYSTERIO APP, GD This issue features the first appearance of Mysterio. Interior pages are cream to off-white. The front cover is flat and retaining some of the original reflectivity and gloss. Corners are prominently rounded although the edges are rather smooth. The front cover is detached from the book but is still present. Staples are still present and attached with the back cover. The interior pages are soft and complete. Overall a decent example and with some restoration would be a nice copy. This would make a fine addition to your collection!

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 20 1ST SCORPION APP, FN+! The title of this issue is "The Coming of The Scorpion". This issue features the origin and 1st appearance of The Scorpion. Interior pages are off-white to white. The front cover is flat retaining most of the original reflectivity and color of the inks. Edges are smooth with some slight wear and corners are slightly rounded. The spine is beautifully intact with the one staple off-center and some slight stress visible. Ink graffiti is visible just underneath the title in the form of two irregular shaped scribbles and "(278)" just underneath the "R". Interior pages feature astounding original color with very little signs of aging! I must admit, in my opinion the F+ is more a function of the graffiti for me more than anything, and I wouldn't hesitate to grade this a VF were it not present! This would make a fine addition to your collection!

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 26 1ST CRIMEMASTER, VG/FN! The title of this issue is " The Mystery of the Man in the Crime-Master's Mask". This issue features the fourth appearance of the Green Goblin as well as the first appearance of The Crime-Master. Interior pages are cream to off-white. The front cover is almost totally flat with some minor folding and creasing visible in the outside corners. There is visible wear along the edges and corners are rounded as well.

Back cover shows some tanning along the edges with wear along the top edge and some dimpling on the face but some gloss is still present. Inside pages are cream to off-white with great original color in the inks. This would make a fine addition to your collection!

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 30 CLAWS OF THE CAT, FN/VF The title of this issue is "The Claws of the Cat". Interior pages are off-white to white. In this issue, Ned Leeds first proposes to Betty Brant, but he is later refused. The front cover is predominantly flat with some slight wear along the edges and light rounding of the corners. Inks still retain most of their original color and some reflectivity. The inside pages are nice and supple with good color. This is actually an exemplary copy of this issue, but unfortunately there are no major villains. Nonetheless, this still would make a nice addition to a Silver ASM collection and it's definitely the right price!

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 32 DOCTOR OCTOPUS, FN! The title of this issue is "Man on a Rampage". This issue reveals the "Master Planner" as none other than Doctor Octopus.

The top inside corner is moderately abraded and there is an extremely light fold extending from the bottom margin 3" from the outside bottom corner up to where the issue and month block are located. Back cover is clean with nice gloss and the staples are visibly off-center but present. A great addition to a Silver Age ASM collection!

The front and back covers both exhibit moderate creasing and folding from condensation exposure. Otherwise the cover is flat with some light wear along the edges and corners. There is some moderate abrasion on the top inside corner of the front cover. Pages and original staples are intact and it's still a great read! A great addition to a Silver Age ASM collection!

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 34 KRAVEN THE HUNTER, VG/F The title of this issue is "The Thrill of the Hunt".

Otherwise the cover is flat with light wear along the edges and corners. There is some moderate abrasion in the top inside corner and bottom inside corner is slightly crushed.

We'll also be listing many more issues from this small but worthwhile collection this week with reasonable Buy It Now options and low starting bids. Some of the more interesting issues to be on the lookout for this week are #37 which features the intro of Norman Osborne (who is revealed as the Green Goblin in #39), #38- the 2nd appearance of M. J. and the last Steve Ditko issue, #42- John Jameson on the cover as well as the 3rd appearance of M. J. and the first time her face is shown, #46- the first appearance of The Shocker, #47- Green Goblin cameo w/appearances from Norman and Harry Osborne as well as Kraven the Hunter, and #51- the 2nd appearance of the Kingpin. By the way, if you think M. J. is Michael Jackson, you shouldn't be getting this newsletter! There's still a great many modern Spidey issues up for grabs including 6 McFarlane issues, a couple of Punisher covers, the first Carnage arc, the Invasion of the Spider Slayers Pts I-V, and #375- the Gold Holofoil Venom cover! And don't forget the ever present Uncanny X-Men copies and the X-Force books that just won't go away! To check out all the books we have currently on eBay use this link:

We're also slowly but surely adding more inventory to our webstore and we've fixed the PayPal bugaboo (yes, I said bugaboo) that was keeping the shipping charge from transferring. Also remember that if you're not a fan of PayPal you can always fill out the checkout form and send us a check or money order in the mail with the appropriate amount. You'll find our online comicstore here:

Thanks for taking the time to read our newsletter and God bless you. I can honestly say that so much has happened with this business and me, personally in the past year and I really believe there are good things on the horizon this year as well. With my wedding coming in June, I'll be proud to say that W. R. Collectibles will become a family owned and operated business. Who knows, we may even send out those silly Christmas cards with a family picture that says something warm and fuzzy like "Season's Greetings from the W. R. Collectibles Family!" On second thought, that's just a little too Brady Bunch for me!
