#40 was the first Silver Age book I ever bought. 

Started off with a bang!  Must have been downhill ever since, ,huh?  (j/k!)  It's just my favorite Spidey cover.  I'll likely move the 7.5 at some point and hang on to this beauty instead:

It is a great book. I prefer #39, but as a pair they may be the best pair of covers in the run. And to give you a sense of how long ago that first purchase was, I paid $10 for about a 7.0. Good times.

A sharp #39 is a beautiful thing.  If it had a better background it could be on par with #40, but the flames make the 40 pop (I think).  However, you can't beat the story title of #39...

It was also the first silver age back issue that I bought. Had to be in about 1976. Probably would not have been VG, but I sure did worship it.

Congratulations!  As #160 is literally the last book that I need to complete my 9.8 run, I am jealous for sure.  Can I ask where you got it?

It is at the top of recent Ebay sales.

Cool, thanks.  Obviously snapped up before eBay could alert me it even existed.

Had these back yesterday. Paid for a clean and press but quite sure they haven't been touched. No different from when they left me. 🤔🤔🤬

Few randoms.  60 is almost as tough as 28. Actually it’s not even close according to the census. 
 

You've got problems eh!

Romita one told me this was one of his favorite stories because he helped a lot with the plot.  Stan really gave him a lot of room to create this story. Hang on to this one!
