Colin Nash Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) Hi Everyone, I'm in a bit of a quandary. I have come into a bit of cash to spend on something Silver Age that I've long wanted. If anyone can give me some advise it would be greaty appreciated. So here it is. Should I buy a CGC high grade Amazing Spiderman #50 or, an Amazing Spiderman #3 in grade 5.5 for the same money ? Only have enough to buy one. What would you recommend. Thanks, Colin Edited April 21 by Colin Nash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 is rarer so I’d take that over an equivalently valued 50 (8.5). The 50 cover is purdier though. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KirbyJack Posted April 21 Popular Post Share Posted April 21 I’d go for the 3. Truth told, I’d just buy lower grades and get both, but that’s my cross to bear. DocHoppus182, KCOComics, spracknetch23 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 3 also.... but at 5.5, eye appeal is paramount. I've seen some fugly 5.5's. Be patient .... and be prepared to overspend for the right copy.

Chief1332 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Not an easy decision, both great comics. One has to be a better deal though? Let us know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 3 And I love 50 but I feel it is much easier to get and probably won’t climb out of reach as fast as issue 3 will over time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnH19 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 50 is my favourite comic book of all time but a mid grade 3 doesn’t come along every day. Go with your gut. As a collector, not an investor, which one do you prefer? MGsimba77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Agree with everyone else. #3!!! 50 is one of the great SA covers of all time, so if that was your personal preference, I totally get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoWitHurts Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 To me Doc Ock is by far a better villain/character than kingpin. 3 is what I would buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGsimba77 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I'd prefer the 50 but as another poster said...go with what your gut tells you as a collector not investor. Maybe ask yourself who's artwork you like better would help? Ditko or Romita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
