I've finally begun selling some of my collection. I just shipped off my #13 and 46, #'s 9, 15, and 20 I let go of a week back. I should post the pictures I have of what I had scanned with my old PC. Maybe tomorrow, I am going to miss these books. I loved collecting them all, and reading every one back in the 70's. My 9.0 AF15 I'll keep for sure, and my Annual 1, and my new ASM 50 signed my Romita and Lee. Check out my registry, it will be shrinking soon. Night,

Beautiful! 

I can't help but think of John Romita as Peter Parker walking with his head down away from Stan "Spider-Man" Lee while the latter looks over his shoulder. Now imagine Ditko as Peter Parker dolefully walking away while Stan looks over his shoulder before moving their co-creation on...

My AF15 is a restored copy I decided on when I saw the prices for high grades going way out of my league. I sold my original two raw books when they came back as a blue 5.5, and a 6.0 purple. The trimmed 9.0 I bought shortly after, broke it out and then sent it to NY where Stan signed it. It remained a 9.0 in purple/yellow, and I like it more than the two mid grade copies I had.

Thanks guys, I've been too busy for a long while to doing anything with collecting the last few years. I was planning to do things in 2012, time flies. I have hundreds of raw ASM to get graded etc, and like most people hundreds more of stuff not worth paying to grade and sell.

 

Here's my ASM 3 that I'm about ready to decide cannot gain from a regrade, and let it go to a member who nudged me to get back with this. I have to set up my scanner to work on this PC, I don't have many pictures available now.

Not a "great" price for those like me who need a nice copy for their run :flamed:.

I hear you 100%.  I'm a run collector as well, and it's amazing how differently I feel when I see specific books spiking in price depending on whether I've already got a copy (satisfaction / relief) or whether I am still looking for one (anxiety / panic).  :ohnoez:

During the 90s, They were publishing a price guide weekly (felt like). 

I used to agonize over big books I wanted but didn’t yet have. I remember losing an entire night’s sleep over Amazing Spider-Man #1.

Much better now, tho.
