I've looked at hundreds of copies and for a while I was actually looking for such a copy but realize it is impossible to have a copy that has the red on spidey's elbow visible on the right and also have the green S fully visible on the left due to the standard comic width.  It would have to be an error in the page width cut for the book to be able to fit both.  Frankly it looks like they just didn't properly size the cover art for the printed cover.

So, who has multiples of ASM 129, and is now still a good time to pick up a copy or two?

I'm you're Hucklberry but I'm only selling the 9.6 at the moment.  Coming to a sales thread near you.

I humbly present these 3 tickets to this show along with a few variants for fun.

A Reader Copy, A 9.6 W and a 9.8 W

Notice how much smaller the FC art needs to be in the reprints in order for the "S" and the red on Spidey's right elbow to both be visible.  They also shrunk the font on the Green "Spider-Man" by Punisher's foot to fit on the Lion's Gate cover which is the closest in sizing to the original cover.

And finally found a copy in 9.8 W I could be satisfied with owning:

Yes. Not possible

Does cover-less count? 

Side question, does anyone know a good place to look for an original cover to marry to this? I have posted a Want To Buy post here but I know its a long shot.

Even cover-less, this is by far the best $0.04 I've ever spent!

My local shop has a raw copy (3.5 ish) for sale: $425

Should I jump on it? You just don’t see them pop up in shops very often.

I would say so, given the price, you might want it already graded though. and I'm not too sure it's an urgent purchase......
