Congrats. Imo, one of the most iconic asm covers ever. 

I'm pretty sure it's the only book in the Marvel Silver Age that tells a story in panels like the inside of a comic.

(JIM #119 doesn't count since that cover literally recycled four pieces of Kirby's interior art -- I don't remember the story of why this was necessary, I assume Kirby missed a deadline?  Does anyone know if there is an unfinished / unused JIM #119 cover out there somewhere?)

Bought this one from Harley 25 years ago

[pickycollector]

I also bought my 6,12,13,14,15,18 and 20 from him during that period. He had such a good inventory back then, I wish I had bought more of his books, I remember passing on a gorgeous AF 15 because I would have otherwise overspent over my comic budget that year

Nice! It's a great early issue and one I think could still see a lot of growth! 

Congrats on grabbing a copy!

It’s hard to remember time when Spider-Man wasn’t plastered over everything (no complaints about it though).  But most of my childhood, it was very rare to find a toy or merchandising item with Spidey.  In 1979, at 6 mo old, I was introduced to Spider-Man by the awesome Mego doll.  I played with that thing until the arms literally broke off.  But it wasn’t until I had my first Viewmaster with Spidey battling Doc Ock that I realized he came from comic books.  
I ‘read’ ASM 3 so many times in that device and loved every frame and word bubble.  For years I have wanted to have that book in my small Spidey collection.   Finally!  I’m so happy
