I have full run of Spectacular Spider-man excluded polybagged SSM #231 White Variant with the cassette. Planning to sell it soon, what are your ranking the most important issues in the collection?

 

So far, I ranked the high-sought books - #64 1st Cloak & Dagger, #27 - 1st Frank Miller's work of Daredevil, #1, #28, #69 & #70 - early Cloak & Dagger, #90 - 1st black costume on the last page, #56 second appearance of Jack O'Lantern and #101 break-up of Spider-man and Black Cat.

 

I don't know the rest. Share your rankings will be appreciated.

Not exactly "mega keys" but noteworthy Spectacular Spider-Man issues...

 

#9 - 1st colour appearance of White Tiger

 

#22 - 1st meeting between Spidey and Moon Knight

 

#25 and later #149 - 1st Carrion (Miles Warren and Malcolm McBride)

 

#40 - Spidey-Lizard!

 

#107 - #110 - Sin Eater storyline...A classic

 

#139 - Origin of Tombstone

 

#200 - "Death" of Harry

 

320 - MJ announces she is pregnant

Spectacular Spider-Man gets no respect. You're better off selling as a set than piecing it out. Once the 64 and the Millers are gone, it's game over.

 

I CANNOT disagree with ya!

 

Unfortunately, this assessment is so very true. :(

 

Okay, I might add in issue #1 to that very short list, but there's really nothing else there. It's sad to say that we have a current marketplace where everybody is focused just on the keys only, and everything else is basically nothing more than just worthless drek. :cry:

When it's cheaper for readers to buy trades or digital, that's what happens to non keys. I don't think Marvel would allow a solo title for an A list to go on for that long without generating some hype issues. New characters or teams, or a death or two. A new costume, something.

#98 -- First appearance of The Spot. Rather cool Spidey villain.

 

That day I remembered, I thought it was the most ridiculous villain ever even I laughed how he handled Spidey in many ways until Spidey is down.

 

I would not wait the next issue to see how Spidey would handle the Spot in a complicated way. I remembered it well.

 

Thanks for refreshing my memory.

#116 and #119 - Spidey vs Sabretooth - Those were cool issues

 

#257 - "Identity Crisis" - Spidey becomes Prodigy (1st Prodigy)

 

Very good! #257 has three different covers: copy A has Spidey over Prodigy, copy B has Prodigy over Spidey and copy C has Spidey cover only. I have the copy A.

SSM very underrated in today's market. I have nearly a full run of the first 100 issues. Some great stuff in there.

 

Oh yes, I forgot...SSM #110 is where DD finds out that Peter and Spidey are one in the same and where DD reveals his secret id to Peter. Classic issue IMHO.
