I happened to get this Amazing Spider-man #28 with some Siamese pages. I don't know how rare it is to find this, especially with them still intact after all these years, but this is the first and only book I have ever seen with them in person.

Didn't get trimmed all the way, comics are trimmed on all 3 sides.

Well today is the day!  The final piece, ASM#7 has been found, has arrived, and is now in hand completing my linear run of AF15, ASM 1-20, and Annual 1 all in the same grade and page quality (5.0 White Pages).

This project started back in January 2019.  I had already had an ASM1 and ASM14 both in grade 5.0 in my collection.  It was during this month that I upgraded my AF15 from a 4.0 WP to 5.0 WP, which made this entire run a possibility.  From there I set my sights on procuring the original Sinister Six first appearances and Annual 1 all in the same grade and page quality.  I bought the Annual 1 first, a 5.0 WP to match my AF15 and ASM1, and over the next few months picked up the rest of 2, 3, 4, 9, 13 and 15.  I sacrificed some big books in my collection, including an X-Men 1 3.5 WP and DD1 4.5 WP to finance these purchases and make this all happen.  Nothing makes me happier than collecting ASM, so even though it was extremely difficult to part with those big SA keys, I don't regret it, especially with where I sit now.  By November 2019 I had acquired all of the first appearance and crossover keys between AF15/ASM1 and ASM20 (notably 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 14, 15 and 16.  I thought I was done, but the collecting itch remained to fill in the gaps and make it a complete run from 1-20.  I know the completionists out there will suggest I acquire ST Annual 2, FF Annual 1, TTA 57, and ST 115, but I'm good with keeping this run all within the ASM title, with the exception of AF15 of course.  Two years later, on November 3rd, 2021, while I was sitting in an autobody shop parking lot at 8:30am waiting for my car's state inspection to be done, the final piece, ASM7, popped up on the ebay app on my phone.  I clicked buy it now, finally completing/accomplishing my goal :acclaim:

If you'll all indulge me, in the next few posts I'll do a little countdown from ASM20 to AF15 so you can see all of the books individually.  Thanks to everyone on the boards who kept their eyes peeled and supported me along this journey.

:tink:

 

Dat's Qwazy!!  Late to the party but gotta give KUDOs where KUDOs are due.  CONGRATS!  Beautiful set!! ^^:headbang:

from what i can see tonight on CL, most early ditko books are crushing it! spidey remains on fire while some other books cool down a bit from all time highs last year. 

Talk about crazy! ASM 9 CGC 8.0 sold for over 9K. “Last” GPA sale was in Jan 9 for $4200.00 :whatthe:.

Interesting how on last nights Comiclink auction an ASM 3 6.5 OW/W sold for 7,400. Nice looking 6.5 too. 

Last week a 7.0 OW sold for 15,600. More than double for a .5 higher. Remove them from their cases and it would be difficult to say which one looks better.

makes zero sense considering that a 7.5 sold for $3600. wtf?

I was considering the cream/OW #14. The cover was very nice presenting.

It ended at $7,000, 10% higher than the highest GPA sale ever for a 6.5.

It had a small piece of the back cover floating in the slab.

I couldn't accept $7K for that.

I like the top one better, which you would assume that it is the 7.0. However, I'm going to guess the top one is the 6.5.

Is that your final answer? Top one is the 7.0. Heritage has a brighter scanner than Comiclink. Top one is a little nicer you're right. I thought a 7.0 of this book selling for more than double a 6.5 was worth noting. I was paying close attention to the CL 6.5 because I own one, had hopes it would reach 10K. Not today.
