Intuitively I'd think 101 102 104 106 and 124 would be the toughest. All of those are chronically miswraped in either direction or the marvel banner on top is crooked, the CCA stamp cropped, etc...etc..

Personally I decided the label is less important than the overall eye appeal/registration of the book especially in the bronze age. Marvel reached peak sloppiness in production trying to pump these out with no regard and or reckless abandon.

What issue in the list that is a key, has the lowest census number in 9.8? 149?

IMHO 135, but all depends on one's definition of key

If you consider 124 a key, then NO, but not by much.

I skipped over 124  I think this one, then 135

Huge props for going after the Meat rather than the small potatoes like is being done in a Showcase thread over in the SA sub-forum

It was to sell another toy.  Spidey action figure fits in the Spidey-mobile, as advertised in the comic books of the time.

They went even worse. They gave him a clone.

If you're short on money, 129 is going to be the toughest. Then 101, which is 2/3 the price, but also is pretty scarce in 9.8-graded copies.

Bet there aren't many 102 in 9.8
