Is this a good one?

 

Yep, it's way out of my price range. It shames my 3.0...

Showoff!!

Wow... do you really need an answer??? NICE book!

So Steve, you've gone from Platinum to Golden Age and now that you sold your Batman 29 and a few others, you're out buying common books like Spidey #1.

 

Shame shame.

If you're into flipping, a HG ASM 1 is probably a pretty good investment. Personally, I expect to have my LG copy for many years unless something radical happens to my income stream.

 

Ed, what's the long range outlook on ASMs in general?

I was speaking a little tongue in cheek as Steve has some incredible books, and varying tastes. Plus he isn't afraid to flip for a profit or a loss.

 

Ebay just had seemingly legit auction for this #1

But my guess is as good as anyones elses but prices are certainly pretty strong at present. These things can't go up forever but here are a couple thoughts.

 

1. Spidey #1 is a blue chip of comics. If it goes up or down so does the market as a whole and vice versa.

2. Dollar is pretty weak so while Spidey 1's have gone up in US dollar terms; in all other currencies its probably pretty flat.

3. I think we can still expect boosts from the movies until we get a total flop. The more TV and movie exposure the better.

4. A Lower grade book has more of a floor than a high grade book as well as less potential to go up in value.

5. Don't listen to people that say comics can never go down in value. Just ask anyone in the coin, stamp, or baseball card market. They were saying the same thing at different times in the past.

6. I'd rather own a spidey 1 than any other SA key besides FF1 and AF15. And I do own one myself in full disclosure..

My new one from Aces:

[Blind Owl]

It's been a while since I've posted scans of new books... so here goes!

 

 

I have copies of ASM 13 & 29 lined up for a future purchase, so that leaves me missing only 1 & 17 for ASM 1-50. My signature says it all now

 

Great collection Mac man. Good to see that you've almost completed your run. Congrats!!!

[Mac Man]

Thanks Owl! I started turning red (according to my wife) when I pulled out the #4 and began inspecting it. As she said, it was worse than when I got my high grade ASM 300 last Feb. for my birthday (this was my first mini-grail).

 

And Cap, for you in finally nailing down your ASM 28 mini-grail!
