Not sure my copy hits the 7.5 to 8.5 range, but I'm mighty happy with it.

i do, i do, but when you set out to get 'em in 9.0 or higher, you must be strong in your endeavor!

Keep chipping away; you'll always find a deal. I try to set attainable collecting goal each time I reach the last goal. As a kid, and we're talking '80's here, I traded a handful of 'Now and Laters' for and Amazing Spider-Man #1 and #15 in the best trade deal since Manhattan v. Beads.

A few years ago I started trying to build an ASM collection from 200-700. Once that was complete, I needed all of the variants in that run. I got myself down to the 4 big ones (648 Campbell Color Variant, 667 Dell'Otto Variant, 688 Campbell Variant & 700 Quesada Sketch Variant) that I'll never be able to afford. Since I have OCD and hate looking at those gaps, I started a 'gofundme' campaign. I don't expect anything from it, it was just something fun to set up since they have a 'wishes' section. I saw a young lady got 30G to buy comic books by giving out pics of her self in cosplay outfits with each donation, so why not. Now I'm widdling my way DOWN and I'm at 108-700 (minus 129 as I'm waiting to find a good deal on a 7.5 or better). But keep plugging away and you'll get the issues you need:)

forgot to post my childhood copy of #7 on the 7th.   well loved indeed.  

[Jordysnordy]

My least favourite cover of the 1st 10 issues.

Plus 2 raws that have been sold to other boardies.

So many have a missing "L"

 

[Straw-Man]

my least fave 1-10 as well.  BUT, I've got "learn" dead to rights!

The "L" you say? Just barely.....

[SECollector]

You guys just made my task to find a #10 a bit more obsessive compulsive.

Anyone has a 7.5-8.0 with "L" for sale? 

[Mucheee1]

My "L" is showing, how embarrassing.

  I think all of us CGC Spidey boardies have some form of compulsive collecting disorder!  Mine's a 7.0 and the "L" appears to be there

My search for a 9.2 has been elusive. I had 2 deals in place last year but both times the buyer decided to keep the book at the last minute.

I subbed this copy and the sold it with the hopes of replacing it - that hasn't happened yet but not for lack of trying.

 

[Straw-Man]

could use another .5....

Nice book but this is a CGC site, so the other guys slabs are not displayed as a rule. Suggest you crop the slab out and show the book as I'm sure everyone would enjoy seeing it!  And welcome to the boards!
