Ultimate Spider-Man full run: $1,000

Lot includes Ultimate Spider-Man #1-133, Ultimate Spider-Man (2nd series) #1-15, Ultimate Spider-Man #150-160 (three copies of #160: 1 regular and two polybagged), Dynamic Force Edition #1 (still sealed), Annuals #1-3, Special #1, Ultimate Marvel Team-Up #1-16, Ultimate Six #1-7, Ultimatum Requiem Spider-Man #1-2, Ultimate Spider-Man Wizard #1/2 and Avengers vs New Ultimates #1-4.

This is my personal run of this series that I recently did acquire in a single lot four years ago. As a Spider-Man fan, I always wanted to read it. I was very surprised how good this run is to read. This is a total of 194 books including all books you need for a complete reading experience. If you never read this run, you should seriously consider buying such a run. It is a MUST for any Spider-Man fan who wants to feel like going back in his childhood when he was reading the original. Well, that how I did feel.

Average grade is NM 9.4 with many in the 9.6/9.8 range. Some of the latter issues are in 8.5 due to small impact ding caused during shipping transportation when I did receive them. Most of the dings do not break colors and are rather minor. They are #129, v2-6,8,9, 150,155. I am including a scan of #150 to show you.

Here are the grades for the first issues:

#1 Dynamic Force: 9.6/9.8

#1: 9.4

#2: 9.4

#3: 9.4

#4: 9.4

#5: 9.4

#6: 9.4

#7: 9.4

#8: 9.4

#9: 9.4

#10: 9.4

#11: 9.2

#12: 9.4

#13: 9.2

#14: 9.8

#15: 9.4

#16: 9.6

#17: 9.4

#18: 9.4

#19: 9.4

#20: 9.6

Here are some scans:

Light impact ding on lower right corner that does not break colors keeps this one from being NM+ 9.6

Epic battle!

Conan #37 NM- (app.): $15
