Jack Linguini Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hi all, First time posting in this topic so please let me know if this appropriate/acceptable to ask. I see a nice copy of ASM 129 on eBay for $699 BIN. https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Amazing-Spider-Man-129-Key-Issue-1st-App-of-Punisher-ASM-Spidey-Marvel/352225118137?hash=item520240c7b9:g:ib8AAOSwUYNaIxfl:sc:USPSFirstClass!80214!US!-1 Any thoughts on the grade of this book appreciated.

Point Five Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'd guess 6.5 cream/offwhite. Or if you're lucky, maybe just offwhite, who knows. GPA says 90-day average for a CGC 6.5 blue label is $691, so it's priced a bit aggressively for a raw, the PQ could be better and you are assuming no interior surprises. At this price point I'd personally be more comfortable going with a graded book. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Linguini Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 @Point Five, Thanks for your comments. I agree with everything you say. Too much risk of disappointment on this one. I would have given this a guess of 6.0-70. So glad I'm not that far off. thank you for the eyes !! JL Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicshark Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 6.0, I think it has stains, CGC dings you for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassman10 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I have sold two 129's in the past five months. The first was an 8.5 and went for 950.00. the second, a 9.4 that went for 1800.00. What I see here is is not a great wrap, going around to the back cover. The back cover is putting out some brown stain at the top as a general discoloration. The corners appear good. The page color is indeed off white and there appear to be some fine color breaks on the cover. I think it's a bit high on the price without seeing better scans but it doesn't seem unfair. Really hard to grade without better scans. I suspect a 6.5, perhaps less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I don't like the looks of the right edge. It may be a bad pic angle but it looks crooked and I always think of a possible trimming. The pages look CR/OW at best. The picture is very bright and the pages still look orange. That looks like tanning on the BC edge. I don't like the looks of this book and I would not purchase it.
