Description: Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC 6.0 Marvel 1962 1st Spider-Man! Holy Grail! L@@K!! THIS BOOK IS TO MARVEL WHAT ACTION #1 IS TO DC. ORIGIN & 1ST APPEARANCE OF SPIDER-MAN; PETER PARKER; UNCLE BEN & AUNT MAY!! THIS IS A PURPLE LABEL SLIGHT/MOD (C-2). The label states: small amount of color touch on cover, small amount of glue. ACCORDING TO CGC THIS MEANS THE FOLLOWING: color touch covering up to 1β x 1β. C2 MEANS THE RESTORATION IS POOR. The label states: small amount of color touch on cover, small amount of glue. NOTE FROM THE GRADER NOTES THAT THE GLUE IS "C1" WHICH MEANS "POOR/SLIGHT" In the 60's we would fix up our books ourselves not realizing what we were doing. Well, it looks like some kid used a small grey marker on the lower edge of the building. I have not been able to identify the small amount of glue. I have been able to see small touches of grey color touch on the left lower side on the building. I have included the photo. The grader notes noted below indicate there are only three small places where color was added.Notwithstanding the small nominal restoration, is the overall fantastic look of the book. I bought this book because the edges look great and have NOT BEEN TRIMMED" and the colors pop!!. Look at the centering of the cover; this is perfect alignment with the black line at the spine as straight as an arrow. There is no marvel chipping usually found in this grade. The edges are nice considering the age of the book. I have taken many scans of the corners and leading edges of the book for you to review. The colors are bright! Look at Spider-Man's head shot. THIS BOOK PRESENTS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL BECAUSE OF THE EDGES. I have included the grader notes for your review. I have nothing to hide.

Here is a great way to have a tremendous and historically profound book at an affordable price where the restoration is nominal and does not in any way improve the look of edges and corners of the book. i ask you to compare the covers listed on ebay. The restoration is NOMINAL. IF YOU WANT, CRACK IT OPEN AND HAVE THE SMALL AMOUNT OF GLUE REMOVED. I HAVE INCLUDED THE DEFINITION OF A 6.0 GRADE. 6.0 FINE (FN): An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects.
