Amazing Spider-Man #20 (1st Scorpion) CGC 8.5 OW-W $MOVED 0

[Martin Sinescu]

For sale is a gorgeous copy of Amazing Spider-Man #20, first appearance of the Scorpion. I purchased this book raw from Chris Foss a few years ago who bought it in a high-grade original owner ASM run. I submitted it last summer for grading and had it pressed by CCS, mainly to take out some NCB spine tics. Just a splendid copy, vibrant colors that bowled me over when I first saw it. Case is in excellent condition, no cracks, scratches or other cosmetic blemishes that I can see (has been stored in a thick acrylic case since I unpacked it from CGC). This issue has had a healthy surge in the last few years, GPA has recent sales of $2000 and up in this grade. Great key first appearance of a classic Spidey rogue in incredible condition. I've been selling on the boards for a few years, but have been a longtime seller on the 'Bay (since '98) under the name qburt with feedback over 1800. 

The rules:

• "Take it" in the thread or by PM wins and trumps any negotiations. I'm open to reasonable offers, but am not open to trades right now.

• No members of the Hall of Shame or Probation List please.

• USPS Priority shipping in the U.S. is $30.00 which includes full insurance and signature confirmation. Book will be packed securely in a sturdy box with plenty of packing materials. I don't take chances with shipping.

• No International shipping for this item due to value. Sorry, can't take any chances!

• PayPal (goods and services) and personal checks accepted.

• No returns on CGC-graded comic books.

what a great storyline too. Jameson hates him so much that he's willing to create a villain to kill him.

Why JJJ never got prosecuted over this and the numerous spider slayers I'll never know.
