Description: Marvel Milestone Editionreprinting 1963'sAMAZING SPIDER-MAN #3 featuringthe ORIGIN and 1ST APPEARANCE ofDOCTOR OCTOPUS!! A March 1995 issueGRADED 9.0 (with WHITE pages) by CGC!! As of 9/20/24, this is one of very few graded copies, with a Universal Label, in the CGC Census. If you'd like a particularly NICE-LOOKING CGC-graded copy of this issue for a very reasonable price, THIS one is very likely to suit your needs!! Written by STAN LEE; with Art and Cover by STEVE DITKO!! plus . . . a BONUS copy of theTrue Believers reprintof Amazing SPIDER-MAN #1!!so you can have easy access to the FIRST story in SPIDER-MAN's own title, to accompany the CGC-graded issue of the Marvel Milestone Edition of Amazing SPIDER-MAN #3!!See below for complete information on the condition of this beautifully-preserved classic issue Long term storage in a Mylar bag with an acid-free boarduntil submission to CGC in August of 2023! This issue was bagged and boarded since purchase, in a thick archival Mylar bag with a heavy-weight acid-free board, and stored in my smoke-free, pet-free, climate-controlled home. It was removed from its Mylar bag for the first time to be graded by CGC!! I submitted it to CGC to be graded and encased and it was returned, with an 9.8 Grade, in September of 2023. This copy, both before and after processing by CGC, NEVER has spent a single day in an attic, basement or storage unit, (and it NEVER will as long as I own it!) Since I received it from CGC it has been stored in, and it will be shipped to its new owner in, its CGC-issued protective polybag.Thanks to careful handling, and long-term storage in Mylar, and despite turning 3 DECADES old in 2025, this issue STILL looks GREAT, especially in its CGC case with a Universal Label displaying its 9.0 grade, and specifying that it still has WHITE pages!! Note that the photos used in this listing are not stock images. They are images of the exact copy being offered for sale. The photos show the covers, the CGC Grade and creator/content details, and all the corners, ends and edges of the BRAND NEW CGC case. The last 2 images: show it back in its CGC issued polybag, ready for shipment to its new owner; and provide a screenshot of CGC Census data for this issue, as of September 20, 2024. Check out the pix in this listing, and you will see for YOURSELF that this is a particularly GREAT looking copy - deserving HIGHER than the 9.0 grade that it earned (IMHO)! And, it comes with that beautiful True Believers reprint, in a Mylar bag with an acid-free board!!
