Whoa! Big book!

I know I sound like a broken record...Bob Storms is my favorite dealer in the biz. The consummate professional.

Bill Schelly mentioned that ASM 7 had a profound impact when he was a youngster, and that it might be his favorite issue..... I love it as well.... Parker is still wearing glasses.... the schoolmates still think he's a punk, but somehow, Spider-Man has boosted his confidence.... enough to where he puts the smooth move on Betty at the end of the issue GOD BLESS....

Thank you all for the congrats! Certainly one of my favorite books in the run. The early Romita's are hard to beat!

I couldn't agree more. Bob's my favorite dealer as well. I just got back into collecting earlier this year (which I find myself saying a lot too) and a friend of mine pointed me in Bob's direction. To the point where if I'm looking for a book in my run I turn to Bob!

Killer 7 Jimbo!

..... thanks, bro. I got it from a best friend who had to sell his collection a while back. He got it from Storms years ago, but unfortunately my friend had a habit of putting a small dab of glue at the bottom of the spine to keep it from snagging on the Mylar.....and knowing I liked raw books, he didn't mention it. I found myself in a position of needing to sell, and sold it to a boardie...... about 6 months later he contacted me and told me it came back a PLOD 8.0 due to the glue.... naturally, I refunded his money and took the book back. My buddy gave me a partial refund and I just kept the book..... I did scrape the glue off..... and it's now one of my favorite books..... in the back of the Mylar I keep a letter that we had to write to our parents back in Elementary School.... thanking them for all they do. I found it in my Mom's hope chest when she passed away.... I thanked my Dad for helping me in the Soap Box Derby and thanked Mom for getting me FF 97 at the newsstand...... I even used the word "Gee" in the letter..... ...that's how long ago it was. The book and the letter remind me of childhood and friendship..... my buddy and I are still friends, even though I had to refund several people who I sold his books to.... but hey, I learned how to spot glue ...true friendship sometimes involves forgiveness.... GOD BLESS...

They will all be up for sale as (not sure what to do with the 5 right now) they just fall out of my collecting range.

Stay tuned.
