New user here!

Just wondering what yall think of this book.. Is it worth grading? Is it worth getting signatures? Lee and Mcfarlane?

Thanks!

It looks like it is in pretty nice shape. I'm not big on signatures but I'd say go for it if you like it. I would definitely get it graded in any case.

A very desirable book and can fetch a good amount. Personally I think the whole Stan Lee signature on the 300 is over done and there are a ton of them but being the chromium version I might do it just to up value. Although I would get Tood to sign for sure. Nice book!

ASM is def one of my "regret" books. Had a few as a young kid, thought they were cool, but they did not survive the purge. I paid cover price for them, To think they are worth a grand now blaghhh

I might be hesitant to get a signature on that slick chromium cover.

For a reprint....I just don't see the value.

I believe I saw it was a 1 in 3000 print dealer incentive. One sold sogned by Stan and Todd a 9.8 for $900 so people will pay if the properly graded and yellow label

I found some information on this book....interesting comments overall....

here is the print runs for the MCC sets....


"Originally Posted By: Kaptain Kollektor

Did the Spider-Man books have lower print runs than the rest of the series?


According to Comichron, the X books did have a higher print run: MCC/ASM # 300 = 3,291 (it's under TPBs for some reason), MCC/GS # 1 = 4,568 and MCC/X # 1 = 3,963"

IMO - there isn't that much different in the runs.....I think the value is more related to being a different edition of the original book, and people just can't afford the original ASM 300.

I also agree that a book printed 10 years after the original issue, is considered a reprint.....not a variant.

Thanks for the information guys. It's highly appreciated. I'm leaning towards getting it graded just deciding between cgc or cbcs and if I want mr Lee and Mr McFarlane signatures. Kinda nervous I spent a decent amount on it. Quite less than eBay. To me it looks flawless scared it won't come back 9.8 or higher.
