Ultimate Spider-Man Collection For Sale With Very Sad Story 1 1

[Jordysnordy]

Really sad story behind this.

I have been in contact with Steve and he's going through a horrible time.

Hoping he beats this.

You can see the passion he has for Spider-Man when viewing his collection.

Very sad story. What an awesome achievement. His attitude and outlook during this hardship are very admirable.

[musicmeta]

Yes, very sad indeed! All the best for Steve as he fights this.  Incredible Spider-man collection.

[MatterEaterLad]

Wow that's sad. Incredible collection. I sure hope he beats it or at least gets more time with his family. 

[Wall-Crawler]

From what I read from the article this is a man who has a great passion but is putting it aside for an even greater passion - His family.

This is the mark of a truly good person, husband and father. 

I wish him and his family the best and hope for the best possible outcomes.

Disney or some super deep pocketed collectors need to step in here. If I had the wealth I'd do whatever I had to ensure he got at the very least FMV for his collection. I couldn't have it in my conscience to have this guy and his family fleeced!!! I hope Bob Iger and Kevin Feige hear about this.

Would he do better going through an auction house and breaking up into lots?

Took me a while to click on this thread because I thought it was about an Ultimate Spider-man collection.

Prayers for this man and his family.

"I wouldn't have appreciated life as much as I do now. Every day has meaning. So for people who say cancer is all bad, they are wrong," says Levine. "It forces you to really take a hard look at what's important."

Truth.

Just got an email from Vince (Metropolis)that he is involved now in trying to help sell the collection.

Got the same email. Here's the link in the email to his site where they've catalogued everything. There's a video from Steve himself.

I'm very sad to report that Steve passed away early this morning.

Let's hope a buyer steps forwards and buys his awesome collection.

[F For Fake]

Wow. Very sorry to hear that. RIP.

It is with a heavy heart that I share with you the passing of Steven Graff Levine this morning at 8:50 AM PST. He took his final breath, in his bed, surrounded by his wife and dear friend of over 40 years. While this loss is incredibly painful it brings comfort to know that he is at rest and that his pain and struggles are over. His wife and daughter are so grateful and appreciative of all the outpouring of love & support this community has shown. THANK YOU #igcomicbookcommunity .. and for all of you that have helped Steve on his journey THANK YOU 🙏🏻 .. whether you sold Steve a book, helped him press one (or a few), or just wished him well, You guys are the best‼️ ❤️

Steve, it’s been an honor & privilege getting to know you and work with you on your collection these past few years. You will always be my dear friend and my brother. Thank you for the memories. I will miss you deeply. As you swing away, off into the sunset, your website will live on as a tribute to your passion for collecting and the memories we’ve forged will be forever etched in our hearts. R.I.P. ❤️

He probably had that 1-160 run too

RIP true comic book collector

[Spider-Variant]

So sorry to read this.  I saw the article posted by the OP last week and shot Steve an email at the address I had for him.

Steve and I did a trade back in 2009 and his passion for Spider-Man was on full display.  

Prayers for his friends and family.
