My silver ASM quest (started buying them in the 1980s!) is almost over...the only Spideys I still need are

#1

#2

#41

 

and honestly I don't expect to pick up #1 or #2 anytime soon.

 

Which 5 are you after, and in what grade range?

 

1

2 You will get it soon

41 ?? Why dont you have that yet

 

ASM #1 is just too pricey for me...no surprise there. If I were to spend $800-$1000 on a book, I'd rather buy a cool/rare early golden age book than a bedraggled Spidey #1. Maybe I'll sell off some stuff to get one eventually, but it's not a priority for me at the moment. Same with ASM #2, though there's a decent chance I'll someday come across the right cheap #2 and take the plunge.

 

Yeah, the missing #41 is pretty random. But it's a grossly overpriced key in the Guide (1st Rhino? come on!), and tends to look kind of tanned or cruddy in the lower grades (a nasty white+black cover, the worst of both worlds), so finding the right combination of low price and decent eye appeal is the trick. Ironically, I won an ebay auction for a very cheap mid-grade #41 a week or two ago, but let the seller off the hook (probably too easily) after he gave me a sob story about how he expected to get more for it. I'm sure I'll find one eventually.

Bah, you should have taken that sucker for every penny.

 

Wuss!

Kudos to October for this book. Just under $500 with slight ct. at the two bottom corners. Good communiations all around.

Great looking book!

[Point Five]

It's a very pretty book. There's unfortunately some black color touch (fully disclosed, natch ) but it presents extremely well...I think piper will be well pleased.

My first Silver Spidey, which could be a bad thing, a verry bad thing

[mar-vell]

I know this is a bronze spidey but it's my very first spidey 129 so i just had to post it here! Couldn't believe my local LCS had this little gem listed for only $200! I got to inspect it up close and could see the front cover was at least 8.5 maybe even 9.0 with just a 3/16 tear on the back cover knocking down the grade!

You're right, that looks way better than a 7.0. Great pickup, mate!

Indeed...I predict you've only just begun. Those Ditko Spideys are very addictive. Nice book!

[Karma23]

Yeah, I've always wanted to get into them but they are pretty pricey, the LCS had this listed as a G/G+ and going for 17.99 less a 20% discount...couldn't pass on that and according to my suspicion, the grading forum, this is more like a VG or VG- book so I was thrilled...now which to shoot for next

[Korvac Saga]

Just got this one and I'm :

Holy Toledo! Beauty of a tough black cover!

RESULTS OF MY CRACK HAPPINESS

 

 

I don't know which I like more; this book, or your avatar.

 

Hmmm. The avatar. If it was Summer, I'd say your book.

I would see that less.

[Point Five]

I know you're new here (and a belated welcome, BTW! ).

There was some...unpleasantness with h2g, the gentleman in question. Don't think he'll be responding.
