This book never ceases to amaze me. Along with the sale of the 7.5 last week, we are continuing to see very strong prices for higher grade books that present very well. This book seems to be bullet proof.

This book seems to have shades of 52 mantle to me. It just so outpaces everything else because its been accepted as the most important piece in the hobby to own along with Tec 27 and Action 1. Isn't it true in grade the only books to outperform it are Tec 27 and Action 1?

This is why AF #15 is The King of SA keys! Not surprised at all with the sale.  Book performs well all year round.

No there are several other Ga books that out preform it point for point. 

Bats 1, supes 1, aa16, asc 8, marvel 1, just to name a few.

For me the only other superhero that has a better story line than Spidey is Batman. AF15 is simply the king!! AF15 has become the Iconic book like stated above just like the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card. It's a piece of artwork!!

For now....some will continue to do so but in the future AF15 may pass some books you have mentioned.

Well damn... I was gonna bid on this, but somebody must be pretty confident this had upgrade potential.

That is a nice book but both staples look like they where replaced.

No chance.  

That is just a really clean looking 4.5.  It will also do well.

I could be wrong but they sure look brand new. Does it no say in Overstreet you can replace staples as long as the book grades 6.0 and lower without affecting the grade (I can't remember if the staples must be of the time period.....and I don't know how CGC treats such books)?

That book would either be a green or purple label if the staples were replaced.

OK then I am wrong they simply look brand new......then that is a very solid book.

Glad you corrected me I do not want to affect the final hammer price if the book is all good.

The CGC 5.0 in the same auction is also very nice.

If there is potential for a bump this one is it.  Graded in 2002, probably hasn't been pressed, definitely hasn't been dry-cleaned.  A clean and press and I don't think a 5.0/5.5 is out of reach by any stretch.

Wow, you look at the front and first thought is thats a 7.0 easy...  Then you look at the back cover.  Somebody spilled a drink and that book soaked quite a bit of it up.

I much prefer the back having a issue than the front (this type of issue aka ''drink spilled'' does not bother me at all). Yes yes this could be easily taken out of context.....but keep your heads on comic books...lol!!

If you had to choose between the two, goes without saying.

The worst for me is writing on the front cover that is a issue I just can't get over when buying a book....don't care what book it is could be a TEC 27.

The back of my 1.8 - thankfully it didn't seep through to the front, which looks much better than a 1.8
