Yeah, super sharp.  Looks nicer than my 2.5 (and I have one of the nicer ones you’ll see).

What’s going on with the back cover?

I saw this exact book on display at SDCC back in July. Back cover is chewed up. 

Wow, reminds me of the Heritage Detective 28 2.0. Real sharp looking front cover, back cover chewed up bad. Shame.

Here's the BC

A shame in that the book would be a much higher grade if not for the back cover defects.  But also, the opposite of a shame in that, if you're going to have enough defects to knock a book down to 2.5, the ideal scenario is for most of them to be hidden on the back.

[rsouxlja7]

That's what I love, great looking books with hidden defects for a fraction of the price haha

[Dark Knight]

Back cover ain't even bad either..

[chrisco37]

Yeah, doesn’t look bad at all.

Hmm, wonder what really knocks it down to a 2.5?

A monday morning grade?

[rsouxlja7]

Bought the grader notes

Back Cover Multiple Chip Out
Bottom Spine Spine Split
Bottom Staple Back Cover Detached
Interior Cover Tanning
Right Bottom Front Cover Small Piece Out
Right Center Front Cover Small Tear
Right Top Back Cover Moderate Tear
Spine Stress Lines Breaks Color
Top Front Cover Wear Breaks Color
Top Spine Large Spine Split
Top Staple Cover Detached
Top Whole Book Stain

Would this be a good re-sub candidate or is the spine split and cover detached keeping it down?

The spine splits with the stain are the killers.  Still, it’s a great looking book.

Kudos!  Welcome to the club and congrats on your full run!  Quite an accomplishment!

Congrats on the run, can I ask where did you get all the Dell'otto prints?

[Dark Knight]

Any copy even if ratted and tatted would still leave a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. Just holding the 1st ever Spider-Man comic.. love it!

Welcome to the boards! What an amazing collection, congrats!

[Subby1938]

Thanks for feedback. It's the kind of book that I felt was almost out of reach for me I was desperate to get one. The Dell'Otto prints all came from Europe . Most are signed and there are very htf early pieces there. He drew a Spiderman ( modern ) version I felt was kick so I collected him exclusively . Here are few more;

What a fantastic image that is of the Vulture looking up to see Spider-Man coming down out of the sky toward him.

[1webslinger]

Thanks for sharing, it's nice to see prints I never saw before 

[Subby1938]

No problem. Europe releases stuff you just don't see or can  get here. This one was Lucca games exclusive 2017 signed. Such an awesome spiderman . Few bonus shots I took of my Grail set up. Enjoy
