SRenaud Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) You guys are incredible, and extremely helpful. I really appreciate the insight! This is my Amazing Spider-Man 20, I bought this in 1988/1989 for $30. It is hard to see in the pictures but someone traced the Spider-Man logo in the top corner with a pencil. What do you think, PGM ASM 20 Edited September 20, 2023 by SRenaud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I think there could be black color touch along the spine. Got a pic of the inside front cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a pic of the inside front cover? Great eye! I added a picture of the inside cover. If that is a colour touch, will that give it a restoration label when graded?

grendelbo Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Yes, Restored around a 5.0. The ink is covering up spine wear but it's tough to determine how much. Grade will be somewhere in that VG range. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 tell-tale sign of color touch. I ended up getting a couple unexpected purples b/c there was no bleed through. This looks no worse than one I knowingly had graded, the label says slight C-1. 5.0 is what it looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
