AF15'ers, I just got the 7.5 in. The pages and covers (look at the splash inside cover scan) are WHITE. The pages are NOT discolored at the top in the scans. Somehow, the scans darken a tad up there. Book is very fresh with ultra clean grays. Does have some spine wear...Enjoy the scans !

 

I'm so happy with it! :banana::banana:

 

 

 

That is one BEAUUUUTIFUL book, my little Arkansas buddy.

 

:applause:

Thank you Rich & Roy.

 

The paper is brand new so to speak cover to cover. :acclaim:

 

 

And enjoy yours too Rich !!

 

By the way, I'm STILL in the 22 club...

 

:acclaim:

 

Your 7.5 is still there...so you are still in the 22 club. Not unless your down grading for another copy or upgrading, but that is not you. There is no other 6.0+ off-white to white+ SC22 besides your copy in the marketplace. hm

You ain't seen nothing yet so join this club now, AF15s are way undervalued and will rise in multiples soon. ALL GRADES. Not just the 6.0's and up which Spiderturtle is holding.

 

Alot of people make 20K a month now, ie stock traders, physicians, doctors etc so these hungry collectors and millions of spiderman fans need the holy grail. So spending 2 weeks worth of their time for $10K is worth a cgc 5.0 af15 anyday.

 

Not enough supply as there is 100 million+ collectors international demand vs 361 copies of af15 cgc 4.0 and up unrestored out there in the market (Do not be fooled by excessive copies of af15 rubbish as I did the CGC census count as of June 09). Ignore the 1.6 trillion dollar deficit in the USA and look globally where there are tons of rich tycoons out there. Spiderman is here to stay for generation after generation.

 

I am part of this club as I bought the af15 cgc 4.0 unrestored copy that Chromium wanted 2 months ago (he settled for a cgc 2.5 copy later but his looks nice for the grade). My copy is in a safety deposit box so i will not show off scan.

are there even tens of thousands?

 

There are over 2000 shops in the USA and 200 shops in Canada. The attendance of San Diego Comic con were well over 100,000 in 2009, but everyone who attended are not comic book collectors. Tens of thousand (less than 100,000 but more than 10,000) is a reasonable number.

Your copy being in a safety deposit box seems like MORE incentive to show off a scan, not less, given that we can't steal it and given that it's one of the only ways you can see it yourself now. Everything I put in a safety deposit box I show off freely knowing that it's locked up safe and that I get to vicariously enjoy it via the scan. :cloud9:

as there is 100 million+ collectors

 

there are 100 million+ collectors? really?

 

I think he meant...tens of thousands comic collectors. (shrug)

 

He meant whatever made his point sound more grandiose...smacks a bit of a horse owner preaching to the crowd what a fantastic investment horses are, which while partially accurate, isn't as simple and rosy as it sounds. Not that I entirely disagree with him, but he's clearly overhyping the potential buyers out there for $10K and up comics. I certainly do agree that AF15 has lots more room to grow and will remain in the top 5 most liquid keys in the hobby for decades.

I love AF 15...it is one of the few silver age comics I try to keep one of in my collection at all times!...I mean, first spidey, right :headbang:

 

that said, AF15 has pulled back in price (simply put, the opposite of price growth), in ALL grades, for over a year now (some as much as 40% downward price correction over the artificial run up of 2008/9)...

 

yes, it is very liquid...and long term, probably a "can't Miss" opp if you are looking at it strictly from investment potential...

 

but, it will take a few years of positive growth, just to catch back up to the previous realized highs of a few years ago....so, the moral of this story is to buy the right copy for you, at a price you feel comfortable with, and don't listen to some folks' "song and dance" trying to artificially increase the value ...
