Please post a picture of your AF 15 and feel free to share a story or two about the book (i.e. how you got it, etc.)

I picked this up on another forum.

I'm still a ways from owning an original copy myself but I did pick this up like 20 years ago and it was my first Stan Lee autograph and my first yellow label. I have a the ASM 1 Milestone edition at the same time and got that signed, too. It kinda started my fondness for the Marvel Milestone reprints. Sure there've been plenty of reprint series over the years but I loved that the MM books didn't have huge alternate titles or something like the Marvel Tales book. Just the simple silver border letting you know why the original is a key book. I'm hoping to get the MM ASM 129 signed by JR SR and Gerry Conway later this year

I don't own one and likely never will, but I did get to hold one a few weeks ago which made me quite happy.

@Oldbsturgeon Never give up hope! I know it's no AF15 but I never expected to own a Daredevil #1, especially not after the popularity of the tv show, and sure most here would probably have skipped over it instead of getting my copy but I got one and I'm damn proud of it!

I was lucky and smart enough to purchase this copy a few years ago, before the prices tripled. Its the pride of my collection.

I'm a little confused why it is incomplete. The first page top was missing and then recreated?

lol, I like that term, "beat but complete.". I'd take an AF15 pretty much any way I could get it, including coverless. Mold is where I start second-guessing.

It looks like the top 1/3 of the cover was reproduced. I think he means that. It may have been a "return" with the top removed.

@WEBHEAD Did you have the cover work done or did you buy it that way. Just curious.

Bought it as is and it is an amazing piece of art work.

Thanks folks! I owned a 1.8 prior to this one and sold it to upgrade a couple years ago. Glad I did when I did as trying to upgrade further now looks to be out of the question with the way the prices have been soaring.
At the end of the day I'm thrilled to own this copy!
