amazing spiderman #1

[spider man]

i just bought an amazing spiderman #1 reprint from 1966 on ebay with 25 percent of the top of the cover missing.i think its a great reprint.you can still see the whole picture on the front with spidey fighting the fantastic four and the bit saying the chamelion strikes and u can still see part of the writing .comic is in very fine condition.i aint some comic geek but spiderman rules.i paid $50.00 for it which is pretty good seeing that it is worth about $700.00.does anyone else know about this amazing spiderman #1.it is exactly the same as the one from 1963.

It looks like the same as the one from 63. It is a Golden Record reprint. It has a different value than the original. I can check how much but it is worth alot less the 63 book. Still it is an old copy of Amazing 1.

For most of the older comics, unless I can get a great deal on them, I generally go and buy them from the 50cent pile at my local comic store. The condition is not mint, but the cover's all there, all of it is, usually.

[spider man]

yeah its a golden record reprint.its **** good.i could email you a picture if you tell me your email adress.its a pity that a bit of the cover is missing but i think its a great deal.i saw one on ebay go for $600 and it had the whole of the cover but its was in fair/good but mine is in about very fine+ so is a great deal i think.my local comic store had a deal 4 comics for £1 but i think their closed now.but i can still go to forbidden planet but they have no amazing spiderman left.****

I have it.
Only Spider-Man comic I have. :\

[Arachkid]

Couldn't even begin to guess the amount of Spidey comics I have... Let's see. My storage room is 20 feet by 7 feet... lol

Hey spider man,

How is your copy considered to be "very fine+" if 25% of the cover is missing???

Last time I read the overstreet grading system, a torn cover pretty much knocked your grade down to VG, G, or F.

[Arachkid]

lol good catch didn't see that one...

[spider man]

if it didnt have the cover missing it would be very fine,i should have explained.yeah it probably would be a fair/good or something or very good.i dont even have it yet and theres only one pic and i probably wont receive it for a while.anyone want a pic.i could email it to you.nothing fancy and the pic is pretty dark.

[Fancydan59]

Do you think it would be worth a restoration?

[Spider-fan II]

Ahhhh The 1963 comic... My cousin has one of those.. not to sure but I think it is an original. Ill have to ask him, he did say it was woth quite a bit, but anyhow thats a steel at $50 :D

[spider man]

nah i dont think a restoration would do much,its in pretty good condition and might have been restored already but who knows but if i did restore it,it wouldnt bring back the other part of the cover but i think its **** good.but i might have it restored,i'll just worry about it arriving first.

[spider man]

has anyone bought anything on ebay from neatstuffcollectibles?they have pretty good deals.they sell amazing spiderman 129 for $74 and i bought an amazing spiderman #39 from them from 1966 for $9.00.pretty good.i cant wait for my spiderman #1 golden record reprint to arrive.

[spider man]

there are loads of amazing fantasy 15's on ebay.wonder why spiderman didnt get his own comic until about 1 year after amazing fantasy 15

[spider man]

its alot less than 25% missing from the cover because the rip starts from near the top and goes to the left going down a tincy bit each time.the rip stops at the number 2 where it says ''2 great feature length spiderman thrillers''

[spider man]

holy ****:o the amazing fantasy 15 on ebay is over 90 thousand dollars.what do u people like better,amazing fantasy #15 or amazing spiderman #1(1963 or 1966)?

[SpiderteenX]

What would you think if I told you guys I had the very first original copy of The Amazing Spiderman?

[spider man]

i would say HOLY ****:o ......:D

[spider man]

If u do have it then what condition is it in:confused:

[SpiderteenX]

I didn't say I have it yet. I just asked what would you think if I did. Smiles at his turnabout question:D

[spider man]
