Owner's Description
In the wake of variant madness many speculate if Ultimate Spider-man variants will hold their value in the years to come. A "variant" cover comic that has a large or standard print run is NOT a true variant comic. USM has a true limited print run for the first seven to eight issues which was excerised by former Marvel President Bill Jemas and C.E.O Joe Quesada in the year 2000 via their now defunct "no reorder" policy. Making the USM white cover and Dynamic Forces covers very difficult to obtain let alone find in high grade condition. That is why these books are highly desired by comic collector completist and is what makes these variant books true gems. I was very blessed to find this variant (ungraded) six months into the debut of Ultimate Spider-man hitting the stands. It was given only to retailers to garner interest in increasing orders for the Ultimate Spider-man title. Soon it became apparent that not many of these "white variants" were in circulation. Which made the price for one skyrocket! This variant is commonly refered to by collectors as "the holy grail of modern comics". And to own one in any condition makes for a nice addition to any comic collection. The fact that this variant has a white cover makes the issue difficult to find at a NM/M (9.8) grade. From corners to cover every potential flaw can be made visible under close scrutiny. I was fortunate to work a deal three months later and I purchased this one 9 months into the Ultimate Spider-man run. And I got it at a great price! I have another in NM- condition (9.2) grade.
