It looks like we have some good momentum going here. Does anyone want to post daily pictures in order from Amazing Fantasy 15 to Amazing Spider-Man 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. to wherever we stop like on the Fantastic Four thread? I enjoy seeing all these covers and the books everyone has. We could also add in ASM annuals and early Spider-Man cross over covers chronologically to sharpen our math skills. Start of Friday, 6/14/24? Thoughts?

It will take a while to get to this book in order, but I was happy to add this tough ASM annual 2 with a custom label to the collection.

Sweet book!  

Sure, go for it!  If you have an AF 15 to start with (I don't!  ) go for it.  I'd participate when / if I can.  Maybe it'd get me to scan the ones that I don't have slabbed yet.  Then in a few months we can all disagree when the SA ends.

Sounds like a plan. I have gaps in my ASM collection too, so it's no big deal when we can't post a picture. This will be fun.

Let's get this Spider-Man party started...from where it all began!

Since I first saw it, I've always loved the AF #15 cover and of course the story. Over the years I've had unrestored copies in CGC 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5. The 1.5 was special because I was able to read an original raw copy before I sent it to CGC. I also had a really nice looking Susan Cicconi restored CGC 5.0. I was fortunate to win this AF #15 CGC 9.6 A-3 not too long ago. I love the near perfect look of the A-3 restoration and that it has not been trimmed. I know some people don't want restored books in their collections, but given the prices over the last several years, I've been on the lookout for some key books with great eye appeal at more "affordable" prices. Regardless of the condition of an AF #15, there aren't many comic covers that can compare with the introduction of THE AWESOME MIGHT OF...SPIDER-MAN!

Fun! I'll play along ... with a few extras along the way!

Well done gentlemen!  

@Frisco Larson I must mention that while it's a great copy, it's a quite unfortunate reflection your finger made on that pic...

That's the first time someone has brought that to my attention.   Looks like I need to snap a new pic of it.

I didn’t notice it either. I was looking around his thumb on the lower left.

What can I say.....   I have issues...

I doubt I'll be upgrading this one. I hope I never need to sell it.

The reprint was from the dvd box-set, but I never knew it was in there until 6 years later when I came across the box in storage.
