Congrats on the great acquisition!

Found a few ASM recently in a passed away family member's storage. Not sure if worth getting graded though..

Questionable call on getting these two submitted.  The #78 would be a great candidate but the top right corner could possibly bring this down to a 6.0 or 6.5.  The #55 will probably grade around the same or possibly lower with the general wear that is visible, and the cropped edges on the photos can hide a lot of wear on both books too.  Might be more cost and time effective to just sell raw...

[The Man Without Beer]

Picked this one up from a for sale thread a little while back. My ASM goal is nearly complete. One more book on the list for sure.

I rescanned without cropping this time! Unfortunately the pages are defintely tan/brown around the edges...

You're looking at closer to 5.0 grades on these books, especially with the spine wear and tanning.  Don't think CGC grading is going to give you a significant selling price increase in these grades.  For me, not worth the CGC grading fees/shipping charges involved.  Probably do better selling raw as they stand.  Very nice books though and congrats on attaining them!

For some reason, this book was a hole in my ASM collection for 45 years, and then I picked up two of them in a week.  Courtesy of Superworld and @ft88

a wonderful comic, to be followed by the most wonderful comic of all.

Tough break. 

So now #31 is the new hole in this area

Finally snapped a pic of my Spidey #3 purchased in 1994. Didn't know the page out THEN, but now it's expensive enough to slab as is.

Spidey had a gallery of villains second to none! I think he had more than Batman and I prefer MOST of the Spidey villains to Batman's gallery of bad guys. Also, LOOK at how prolific Lee and Ditko were in such a short amount of time!!! Submitted for your perusal .... Spider-Man villain first appearances within the title's first twenty issues. It's simply .... AMAZING!!!    My copies aren't anything special, but you get the idea.
