Look at the trend I started 

Did you get this book from me? ( I think you did)

If yes, I had it for over 20 years before sending it to CGC and it has never been pressed.

Cover date for me is ASM 228, book on the shelf was ASM 231. Neither of them are all that desirable, but I prefer the cover to 228. I think Daredevil 182 is the most iconic cover for my birthday book, but otherwise May '82 was pretty unremarkable.

I bought that book from Four Color Comics in August 2017.  Is it possible you sold yours to them before then?

No - maybe it was issue 94

I'm getting old. I remembered the 41 and knew the other was in the 90s. I also subbed these 2 books before I even knew what pressing was!

You surely did. Here is mine! :-) Not Silver Age but a cool cover with my favourite villain!

Hope you all guys are well!

I think I bought my latest Spidey a year ago and it was my ASM 15! After acquiring the majority of the big Marvel SA keys and Spidey keys I felt that my motivation dropped and I needed some time to reflect over the direction of my collecting. I was then to the point where I owned 344 out of the 400 first Amazing Spider-man issues. I have missed the hunting though, and even my wife has been asking me if I am not taking my collecting up any time again soon lol.

So I took everything out today, refreshed my memory about where I was and started making a mission plan! :-) I am going to continue where I was with the first goal being to complete the first 10 issues (I still need 7, 8 and 10) and then the rest of the first 20 (I need 11, 12, 16-19). And then take it from there! #7 in CGC 7.5-8.0 is my direct next goal.

Here is a photo with the earliest Spideys as of today! :-)

you go, boy!!

That's just a big pile of sexy.

I'm more of an Atlas type of guy. More specifically, Ringo Kid #17.
