A truly incredible accomplishment Dave -- something to be proud of for sure!  I too will be very curious to learn what your next collecting goals might be.

It was a pretty good week for my Spidey collection as well ... I was finally able to swing a deal for this beautiful book, upgrading from my 9.0:

With this book, I now have #10 through #100 in 9.4.  I still need to upgrade my 9.0 copies of #7 and #9 to be able to say I have #6 through #100 in 9.4.

:whatthe:(worship)  That is NEXT level impressive!  Congratulations!!  10 through 100 in 9.4 is just mind blowingly amazing to me!

Right now I don't have any collecting goals in mind.  I'm burned out to be honest, so I need to take a break.  Going to revel in this accomplishment for awhile.

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).

I couldn't be happier for you, Dave. Good things come to those who wait!

Sweet deal lou. I today was at a comic vendor show. And saw some very nice books raws and slabs. Didn't go for any oldies today. Was looking for some modern books with no luck. And ugh one vendor had a real nice asm700 cgc 9.2 Stan and romita Sr sign. I was eyeing all show. But at one point when I was at another part if show and swing back around it was sold.

All my other Spidey books are 8.0 and higher.  13 of them (out of 33) happen to be in grade 8.0 though lol

Funny, I'll live with ow/w but anything below that i'll pass on.  

My general rule is:

  • 9.8:  nothing but WP is acceptable unless we're talking about some freakishly old 9.8 where the census number is low, and I generally don't buy those kinds of books in 9.8 anyway
  • 9.6:  would only settle for OW/W in rare circumstances
  • 8.0 - 9.4:  OW/W is perfectly acceptable, don't want to settle for OW unless it's early Silver Age and I really have to
  • below 8.0:  OW or better strongly preferred, routinely settle for less on pre-hero books
