12c_Comic Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 I'am thinking about purchasing a Silverage ASM, but have limited funds.Should I choose ASM #3 at a grade of 8.0 or a copy of ASM #11 at a grade of 9.2. The first appearance or the better copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan777 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 to flip or to keep? regardless the #3 will accumilate value a little faster because of the upcoming movie and is a more desirable book because of the first apearance, I think the higher grade #11 is easier to find later on??? I dont know, thats what I would do...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericc123 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Are you guys serious. This is the stupidest choice i have ever seen. Spidey #11 is the rarest Spider-Man in high grade. A 9.2 will cost you about $5000 the #3 in 8.0 won't be even close to that. If you can buy a Spider-Man #11 in 9.2 right now why are we even having this discussion. If you don't know what to do I'd get another hobby. I've heard coins are nice. Ericc123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEYONDER Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Take out a loan.....buy both books........then sell the 8.0 right before the movie comes out. Use this money to pay off the loan. When it's all over, you'll be left with a great book, that DOC OCK's 1st appearance helped pay for......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph0 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 You'd be buying both high IMO. I think we'll see a bit more appreciation for the Doc Ock book prior to the movie, but by far ASM 11 is vastly more difficult in 9.2 or better. I'd pick that one.

murph0 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 btw, if you pass on the ASM 11. I'd like to purchase it. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12c_Comic Posted April 20, 2003 Author Share Posted April 20, 2003 Well thanks for everyone opinions but somehow I'am more of a collector then a invester, because I think I'am more inclined to get ASM #3 I like the first match-up and cover art of the silhouette of Doctor Octupus...Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantastic_four Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 btw, if you pass on the ASM 11. I'd like to purchase it. No no no no not murph ME ME pass it to ME instead!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 Good choice---But now that you decided on Doc Ock and a lower, rarer issue number, forget that mid-grade 8.0 and go find a higher grade copy! That way you get a better book with the movie plus factor AND a more liquid copy grade-wise. Good advise, right? Now forget those other guys and sell ME the 9.2 #11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
