Paid this one off this week...should have the book in hand on Monday or Tuesday...been a long time a'comin'. THX to Don/Peter Loves Gwen!

 

THX again Don! There are 25 universal blue label 9.0s...this might not be the nicest one in the universe but it's gotta be close!

 

 

 

Seriously, a huge congrats. That book is killer!

What are the members views on silver age Spidey's from the U.K price varients. Are they seen as a second cousin to their US counterparts and worthless in the collecting market. I would be very interested in your views, thanks.

They are certainly not worthless...but they are a bit niche-y. I for one do not collect them nor would I view them as the same or equal to the USA version even if filling a hole, say. They are generally worth about 25-50% of the USA version, depending on the issue and other factors. If they were near-mint or minty they could well command between 50-75% of the USA version.

I would not recommend buying to sell in the future...if they're for your sole enjoyment, you can get some great issues for a fraction of the cost!

Good luck with your choices!

So I filled in a bunch of my holes in the past month. Right now, I'm down to only a few remaining holes. Once I get a copy of 135, I'll have a complete run from 19 to present.

Holes in my collection:

2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16,17, and 18.

135 shouldn't be that expensive. I don't remember paying a lot for my copy. Good luck on that collection!

Just back from CGC, I've owned both books for around 20-25 years.

So cool to see "old books" that have remained in the same hands for 20+ years! This is what our hobby should be all about!!

I just wish I'd filled all the gaps in my ASM run 20-25 years ago!

Wow that 26 is beautiful. Nice books

Picked up this one out in the wild. Can't decide whether to keep or sell.

Never had a copy this fresh but still low grade.

other than when i upgade into a nicer one, i've never really scanned in the spidey run. been playing with the scanner/'bucket this morning while i recover from the bama game. here are the first 60.
