[CLOSED] Amazing Spider-Man #6 CGC 9.0 1 1

[Sweet Lou 14]

Hi everyone!  This is my first sale thread, so thanks for looking and I hope I get this right.

Up for sale is Amazing Spider-Man #6 in CGC 9.0 with really nice centering and off-white pages:

I'm asking $3,800 for this book.  I realize that GPA shows $3,100, but that sale is two years old.  I won this book at auction last year for just a little less than my asking price.  Before consigning the book and paying a dealer commission, I thought I would try selling it here.

And now for the fine print:

• Shipping is $15 within the US.  I will ship international, but probably need to research the cost depending on the country I'm shipping to.
• Happy to entertain offers, but in the thread always wins.  If we work something out in PM, I will ask you to post to the thread -- as long as nobody beats you to the punch with a commitment at my asking price, the book is yours.
• Accepted payment methods are personal check, bank check, money order, ACH/bank wire, or Zelle.  Payment is due within 5 business days, or I reserve the right to cancel.
• I'm willing to consider time payments with a non-refundable deposit of at least $1,000 and assurance that payment in full will be received within 90 days of commitment to buy.  Any time payment arrangement has to be agreed upon in advance of your commitment to buy, otherwise I reserve the right not to accept the purchase.
• Any sale is final, no returns.

Finally, if you're curious you can find my feedback thread here:

Thanks for looking and please don't hesitate to PM me with any questions!

Thanks to everyone who has reached out via PM to express interest in this book.  I was asked by one of you to provide a back cover image, so we took new photos of both front and back.  See below for some additional comments on how the book looks in hand.

I can confirm that there is a narrow dust shadow along the upper half of the right edge on the front cover.  I don't think it's as prominent in hand as the images show, but it's definitely there.  It does not extend all the way to the upper right corner, starting more or less in line with the little "logo" inside the Comics Code stamp and going down to about where the Lizard's knee is.

There is also a tiny spine stress line right at the word "HALF-MAN."

On the back cover, you'll see in the image what looks like discoloration along the edges, particularly in the corners.  I can confirm that this is really a Newton ring-ish effect from the case.  If I press lightly with my thumb on those areas, the discoloration moves which tells me it's not on the book.  Also please pardon the fact that you can see my daughter's reflection in the book, which is creating the illusion of waviness along the bottom edge.  No such defect exists on the book.

If anyone has any other questions about how the book looks in hand, I will do my very best to answer honestly.  I'm a picky collector like you, I try to pick books that present really well for their grade, and I humbly believe this is one.

Thanks again for the interest!

I think what you think your seeing is the reflection of him taking a picture with his camera.  Not to say it could or couldn't use it, but the things that look pressable look like they are just reflection artifacts.  Either way is a pretty book.

Thanks very much, and as I noted above you are correct, you're seeing my daughter's reflection in the case.

I am not an expert on which books might press to a higher grade, because it's not something I typically do.  But to the extent that the book is almost entirely free of color-breaking defects, I'll leave it to a potential buyer to decide if that makes the book even more appealing.

ah yes, damn reflection!
