Amazing group shot and congratulations!

Amazing copy and fantastic job on the restoration removal. You are the future of our hobby at 16 years old and the biggest reason why I have zero doubt our hobby will be around for a very long time and is in good hands. I'm curious, do you collect with a family member or just get the collecting bug on your own?

I've honestly never noticed or heard someone mention the color difference that some AF15's have but it's very noticeable now that I've looked at several since reading this. And yes, I agree the grey is much cleaner and presents much nicer in my opinion.

Amazing Spider-Man Collecting Thread!
Beardown replied to Point Five's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
Incredible collecting feat and a big congratulations to you! How long did it take you and do you plan on going after AF #15 as well or already have one? Not that it's required to have the ASM run just curious. WTG! -
We will need to remove ourselves from a few other "clubs" as we had to trade most off to join this club. No regrets and we couldn't be happier to finally be a part of it.

Thank you for the chart and yes it seems a lot of these books are "leveling off" for now. Is it the new floor? Time will tell but its feeling that way.

Congrats on getting into the club!

I can't help but wonder if this book was "conserved" before encapsulating was so common as it is today. It would make more since to do this to a book that is left "raw" as it would be opened and looked at and since it's not done to increase its visual appeal but to stabilize and reinforce for looking at the book. Again, not something I've had experience with in the past but thank you again for all the feedback.

Thank you to everyone that took the time to respond and I agree that leaving the book "as is" will probably be the best action here. I just can't help thinking that removing the seals that are only in place to prevent further tearing would hurt to remove as it will be encapsulated with little chance of the tears getting worse with or without tear seals. The "cover reinforced" is a term I'm not as familiar with but it mentions nothing about the spine on the graders notes or on the slab label so I feel the book is structurally sound but who knows I suppose 🤷♂️. This was also my opinion when I found the book. Not something I generally buy or go for but in this case it just seemed different or not as distracting as most and at the same price as a Purple label I'm very happy I ended up getting it.
