A truly golden opportunity arises, with this 1960s Amazing Spider-Man run of (39) consecutive issues. Numbered between 21 and 59, this group includes every issue in this range from Marvel's most important title. Condition is favorable for the great majority, ranging (46% FN to FN-VF, 41% VG to VG-FN, 13% lesser). The earliest issues are generally in the VG to VG-FN range, mainly due to spine roll. The lesser state examples are (3) coverless, (1) with top 1/3rd of cover clipped off, and (1) with irregular section of loss at the top of the cover. With deference to the (5) lesser examples, this collection makes for a very satisfying acquisition. As they are early Amazing Spider-Man original series books, they can pretty much all be considered keys, and semi-keys, with significant attributes noted below.
