SilvrSpidey

I've recently come to the hard decision to sell most, if not all my small collection of high grade Amazing Spideys. I've decided to build a war chest in an attempt to obtain my ultimate grail, AF #15 and really want a good try for the best I can find. A good preview is my sig line. The lowest grade will be CGC 9.2 and will include some pedigrees ( 2 - Northlands and 1 Pacific Coast Dective Comics). If all goes well with me getting home early tomorrow (Thursday), and getting up all my scans, I plan to list them all tomorrow afternoon/evening (PST). I have never set up a kudos thread for myself, but have been more active on the board the last year or so and have dealt several times with Rube11, Roy (r1970d), Peter Loves Gwen, Spideyinacase, etc. I also had a fairly successful sales thread mid/late last year and had some nice dealings with several others from the boards. I've been buying/selling (mostly buying lately) on eBay for many years, ID= gymj22, with 100% feedback. Hope to see some good interest and hope you all check it out tomorrow (hopefully; Friday at the latest). Thanks!

Thank you. I forgot how nervous I used to get opening the CGC box, but then to see the grade and no purple . . . . . big relief.

Here's one I got back the other day from CGC. I bought it raw from Roy a little while back. It was the first raw book I've bought in many, many years. I bought it as a 9.0/9.2 so it worked out pretty well.

Looks like it. That's too funny. I knew about the Peter Palmer, but never knew about this one.

Here are the 2 newest additions to my collection this last week. The ASM #42 was a CL win off a tracking bid (I wasn't really fully committed to buying a copy just yet, but happy with it nonetheless ) The #15 was one I've always wanted to have, but figured I'd settle on a sharp #34 instead (for my early Kraven cover), but then I figured "it's almost Christmas . . .and I've been good this year!" Unfortunately I couldn't get rid of all the glare in my scans.

Well . . . .having sold you MY #12 and then having you win that #11 when, through my own fault, I didn't even get a bid in on it . . . . .I'd say those 2 are pretty well burned into memory. Your collection is coming along pretty nicely BTW.

Only one problem . . .#11 and #12 are switched. Of course I'm nitpicking 'cuz I'm envious.

+ that SUH-WEEET #44

I wish my mailman dropped off stuff like that for me. Real nice copy!

I would have to agree. There was recently a thread on that and that was the general consensus. Something about all that yellow takes the stigma out of the bit of purple. And it is kind of ironic, as another poster in that thread pointed out, to ding a book for color touch when someone has taken a marker to the front cover to sign it... So, I'm thinking . . . we gotta have Stan "the Man" sign along the spines of our books.

In my limited time here, I have both bought a book off Don, and sold him 2 HG Spideys. Always quick, easy transactions and good to talk with. (thumbs u

Thanks! Yeah, it's a great story. And I did see those Don. The 9.4 will probably go for more than I want to pay. I was thinking of a 9.2 as well, or a nice 9.0. The 9.0 in the CL auction unfortunately suffers from that typical miswrap . . .I'm not too much into the "OP RT oductions." If I get a 9.0, I want one nicely centered. I was very tempted by the Fire Mountain 9.0 that recently sold on feebay . .but just wasn't ready to pull the trigger on one.

Speaking of some tougher ASMs to find well-centered, I just got this beauty from Steve (Rube11) today. Since recently buying a raw NM range #32 and this one last week, I'm gonna have to get a nice #31 as well to complete the 3 part story . . . oh darn.

Don't you already have a bunch of books to send to CGC?

That's a beautiful copy . . . definitely presents well! Just out of curiosity, where did you find your copy? Scouring the internet, like I often do; at a show; private sale . . . .? I haven't been to a show in many years. I'm hoping to go to WonderCon and San Diego next year . . I may have to wait 'til one of those before I find the copy of ASM #1 or AF #15 I've been looking for. Until then, I'll just stay envious.
