PGM - Amazing Spider-Man 210 (Mark Jewelers) 1 1

[grendelbo]

I've had this copy for more than 30 years. I just got it back from being pressed. Even though it's not going anywhere but back inside it's short box, I decided on the press because it was in very good shape other than a minor, diagonal crease on the upper left hand corner of the front cover. The press eliminated the crease although you can still see it a little of it on the back cover.

In the third pic you'll see what appears to be a color-breaking crease near the price. I'm not entirely convinced it is one. Maybe it is. It's imperceptible even with my reading glasses on. I only noticed it after taking these pics.

Thanks for looking and for the grade estimates. It's fun to post something of my own once in a while.

I was beginning to believe you didn't actually own an actual comic 

Pardon my ignorance about the little ink mark in the price box. It's got a design, so I assume it's some kind of distributor's mark? I do see the white about the 50¢ box that's dark in other copies. I couldn't use mine for comparison b/c I sent it off to JRJR and somehow I either forgot to photograph it, or somehow deleted the photos. If it's not an actual crease, are you thinking it was just a printing issue? I think >9.2 for sure. I'd probably hope for a 9.4, and be satisfied with the 9.2 and ecstatic if it went over. But I know you don't believe in the higher 9.X grades, so.....

It's impossible to see with the naked eye but CGC would probably call is a slight crease. I need a magnifying glass.

Shameless plug.

You will not see a photo of my collectable storage b/c it will lead to a referral to be on Hoarders. I bought two industrial 3-shelf file storage units for what doesn't fill the full-size closet in my "office". TBF, the shelves are only half full in the basement, and the closet has some open space now that I moved the bulk issues onto those shelves, but still. The Venn diagram of our interests has some strong overlap as you stated previously. My DC and early Spider-Man collection is sparse and I don't have any of the big early silver age Marvel books you do. If your photos are an indication, I have a much higher affinity for Thor & Hulk. My display case will remain virtual b/c I don't have enough shelf space. I put my IG in my profile a while back, but there's not much reason for people to go there: https://www.instagram.com/shawn_slabs/

My display currently is one book on a night stand.

Instagram will only allow me to scroll so far before asking me to create an account. No thanks.  Though what I see is right up my alley. 

I check out my galleries daily.
