Amazing_Spider-Man_Vol_1_678_Venom_Variant_zpsckbd2sop.jpg

 

Remember, All it is, is a nice cover...that's it.

 

And a low print run.

 

And incredible sought after.

 

And inspired cover homage swipes.

 

And commands north of $3K in a 9.8....thats it.

 

ooOOOoh, I'll be watching that ASM 667 auction too, which by the way, is the worlds best 7.0 on the planet lol

Looks like the 667 has several color breaking spine ticks up and down the back cover.

Not the best pic and nowhere near the price of most I've seen on here, but I love it! Thanks Jerome!

You're welcome buddy!

 

For all intents and purposes I wasn't planning on selling it, but then, as you can imagine, something came up that I wanted more lol

Do you know why? I can't see why they wouldn't.

 

The last time I spoke with a few individuals from CGC it was relayed to me that they do not grade copies of Thorn due to not being able to authenticate them. This however may change, only time will tell but as of a few months ago they said they have no plans to grade them.

Grading a Thorn would be like grading a paperback book would it not? I've gotten the impression that they're small with a lot of pages. Never seen one in person.

This is a good point, I think they have an appropriate case already but with all of CGC's recent upgrades, it could mean that they'll step it up in their verification process. I'd really like to have a Thorn tales from the lantern graded once I find one. Such a gem from Smith's college days.

I'm in Ohio near OSU and I've only ever seen one them that I thought was legit. Probably only seen three or four total. It's a pretty rare book.
