Giant-Size Spider-Man #4, SS CGC 8.5

For weeks, I had in my eBay watch list a lot of three Spider-Man books, all CGC SS by Gerry Conway. I didn't care much about the other two, but I just had to have this one: Giant-Size Spider-Man #4, signed by Gerry Conway, CGC 8.5. Although the lot was reasonably priced, the total is still a chunk of change, for me at least.

This past August, I scored a table at the San Jose Toy Show. To my surprise, I turned a profit just nickel-and-diming some toys and 90s comics. Although I already had enough money in my PayPal account to pay for this lot, the extra money allowed me to buy the lot without regret and with the intention of re-selling the other two slabs to make up the money. So the next day, on my birthday, I made the purchase.

I've yet to sell the other two books, but plan to at the next toy show.
