Purchased as a online auction on MyComicShop.com for the purples of having Roy Thomas sign. They had it as 4.5 restored. MyComicShop are hyper strict with grading and usually their books grade a little higher if CGC submitted.
Roy Thomas was at a small comic show in Wayne NJ with facilitators present so had to knock out a few books. Would have been more but his earlier advertised price on their website was no longer valid.
Signed by Roy Thomas on 11/19/22 & CGC graded on 12/16/22. This was fast tracked.
Grader Notes:
light creasing to cover
light scuffing to cover
light spine stress lines to cover
light wear to cover
moderate ink lift to cover
small amount of color touch on right top & right center front cover

Purchased from Comics on the Green's back wall for the purpose of a Roy Thomas convention signing. New Jersey Collectorfest as small comic show in Wayne NJ that has the vibe of a indoor flea market with a very small section of artist/minor celebrities that helps make it a "show".
CGC facilitator was present so got it done. Roy shared that this story was the first time he worked with Spiderman.
Signed by Roy Thomas on 11/19/22 & CGC graded on 12/16/22.
Grader Notes:
light crease bottom of back cover
light spine stress lines to cover
very light crease left bottom of front cover
very light foxing to cover
very light staple rust

This book is currently a placeholder for signature series. It was originally graded on 11-26-2007. I hope to get it signed by Chris Claremont at Baltimore Comic Con 2025.
Purchased on 7/27/25 from Comics on the Green. Originally $45 reduced to $40.50.
Update: Baltimore Comic Con 2025 Knights of the Comic Facilitated
I was always edgy about the top right corner being so jammed into the corner of the inner seal it must have broken off when it came out of the seal as it broke off and the grade dropped to a 9.0 .
At least it is signed!
Graded 1-07-26
Dropped from 50 Registry points to 11.
