CGC 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 361 Newsstand Edition - GPA shows $1,885, ASKING $1,750

 

I'm a data guy, so I'll add that this book is NOT as "uncommon" as other Newsstand Editions of the time.

It's very likely that a bunch of comic shop customers bought up Newsstand Editions of this book and treated them as well as Direct Editions.

The sales records for the past 12 months indicate about 20% of CGC 9.6 + CGC 9.8 books are Newsstand for ASM #361, which is higher than other books (about the same age) under 10% Newsstand.

The GPA on CGC 9.8 direct editions, by comparison, is currently around $1,150.

CGC 9.2 Amazing Spider-Man #300 Newsstand Edition - GPA shows $1,250, ASKING $1,200  SOLD per PM

The sales records for the past 12 months indicate about 15% of CGC 9.2 books are Newsstand for ASM #300, which is more common than ASM #300 Newsstands CGC 9.4+

The GPA on CGC 9.2 direct editions, by comparison, is currently around $1,150.

This is an undercopy for me... I will not be selling my highest graded ASM #300 despite the all-time high prices right now.
