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

The 3 is rarer so I’d take that over an equivalently valued 50 (8.5). The 50 cover is purdier though.

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.  GOD BLESS ...

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?

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.

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.
