Amazing Spider-Man #1 value

[Pingerton]

I just got my ASM #1 graded 1.5 by CGC. Now the question is: how much is it worth in this condition? I've been out of collecting for a while so I'm not sure of its current value.

White pages?

 

Depends on the page quality, but I'd say low end would be $11-1200.

 

Congrats on adding it to your collection.

Recent sales are like $1250-1500.

 

You should join gpanalysis.com and will get ALL the sales into you could set want. You can ask once or twice before people will get on your case BIGTIME about ponying up and paying for the info (thumbs u

Off-white to white pages actually, but I'm absolutely chuffed to bits with its grade: the front cover is not in the best shape but the interior is ok and that's probably what bumped it up from the 0.5 I was afraid of, to a 1.5.

[Junkdrawer]

at this level, its all about eye appeal. Each book can have a variety of defects to achieve the grade of 1.5, however books that present well earn the bonus bucks.

[Pingerton]

Thanks for the info, guys. Can I also ask you the current value of an Incredible Hulk #2 CGC 4.0? It was in the same order of my ASM #1. I tried to check on ebay but didn't find any listing for this grade.

Last sale was $721, but I believe that to be an outlier. I think the true value of that books is btw 550 and 600 bucks based on appearance and PQ.

[Pingerton]

Thanks everyone. Can't wait to get my hands on them

Does the ASM 1 have chipping? OW or better PQ and no chipping would enhance the value pending eye appeal of the rest of cover.

[Pingerton]

No chipping but unfortunately, as reported on the label, there is a 'small amount of tape on cover'

doesn't hurt the appeal in my opinion if its not really noticable...

It does hurt the appeal to many, many collectors. Tape breaks down the paper after awhile.

Yeah, tape on the cover is definitely a deal breaker for me. Then again, I don't mind miswraps and actually LOVE date stamps so to each their own

Dont mind miswraps?

 

LOVE date stamps?

 

Mind = blown

I love date stamps and I don't mind a miswrap so long as it's minor.

A nice, neat date stamp gives a book some character IMO. I love em!

 

Miswraps? As long as they are minor and straight, I can definitely look past them

[Pingerton]

Yeah, tape on cover is quite annoying but it's just a small amount. And after all ASM #1 is an awesome book to own in any condition. I'll try to upload a scan as soon as I get the package; I think this might help to judge the book

It's got to be a mess to get a 0.5. A 1.0 can have all kinds of tape and tears and other major problems. As long as it's mostly complete, they let a lot go for a 1.0. Or its a nice VG to F but with a huge problem could get a 1.0 (but usuallly a 1.5)

 

So a 1.5 and 1.8 are just those books that can't quite be considered a Good. To me a Good is a pretty nice low grade book with lots of little problems but nothing that would kill it. Sounds like the 1.5 is about right, but a scan would be great when you get it back. here's my copy that I plan on sending in. I grade it a G+ but could see it as a G too.

 

Curious if you consider yours a superior copy or much worse?

 

[Pingerton]

It was my first time sending comics to CGC and I know sometimes they can be very strict with their grades so I was quite confident I'd get the 1.0 but not completely sure. Your copy looks nicer than mine, no doubt about that. It looks like at least a 2.0 to me. By the way I'm thinking about selling my copy to upgrade to a 2.0 or at least a nicer 1.8
