He wont tell us yet, but I know where my money is.

1-6 is a $200 set IMO.  I sold a set about 4/5 years ago for like $90?  I had a couple extra duplicates of the last 2 issues and got like 30 a piece for them.  I just have two full sets now and have been hesitant to sell as those books are pretty scarce.  Really wish I had pre-ordered like 8 of each of those issues...:tonofbricks:

That's a rough treatment. It used to look so much better...

I agree.  That is the one thing I do not like about the omnibus reprints.  Those old colors were made very bright with the knowlegde that the art is being printed on non-bright white and matte newsprint, and would lose about 2 shades of value/intensity.  The omnis get printed on that super bright paper with high gloss and it does not look very good IMO.  I think they should print on matte paper with a slight off-white tone and the art would look more like the original.  Most digital recolorings are not very good to me either.

This wasn’t a spec play, but just a random buy back in the early 2000s of buying everything/anything Spidey on EBay.  Thought it would be cool to have an unopened case of a book. Too bad it wasn’t twenty issues earlier. 
 

It does feature the 1st appearance of Doctor Pollock & his Gamma Virus 🦠 though :wishluck:

It also features appearances by both Charles & Gary.   Unfortunately, that appears to be their only appearances.

I ended with a bunch of these in a big bulk purchase with other stuff a while ago.  I’ve been holding onto them essentially by default, but I guess I was speculating the whole time!

I currently am.  I've got a couple #3 on the way to CGC but the few sets I've got are still in the boxes.  I've seen nice sets starting to sell for $100 which is way up from the $30 I was paying a bit ago but I could see $200 for nice sets in the next couple years.

How about these two. Hold?
