Set Description:
Spider-Man 2099 has always held a place near and dear to me. I collected comics growing up just as my dad once did. When he introduced me to Spider-Man, I was hooked. Walking into my comic book store in 1992 and seeing a brand new version of Spider-Man made the character feel like he was "my" Spider-Man. I collected the series and several others but soon had to give up my pull bin. As an adult, I've rekindled my collecting. It has been a lot of fun hunting down these now almost 30 year old issues and trying to find 9.8s to send in to CGC. I hope you enjoy my collection as much as I've had creating it. Cheers!
UPDATE: 10/16/2021 - 100% achieved! I've collected graded copies of all 54 issues of the original Spider-Man 2099 run after almost 100 raw issues, 34 CGC submissions, 25 eBay purchases, and 4 awesome gifts. Current stats: 39 - 9.8's, 12 - 9.6's, 3 - 9.4's
UPDATE: 9/22/2021 - Upgraded #15 to a 9.8! 40 - 9.8's, 11 - 9.6's, 3 - 9.4's
UPDATE: 1/22/2022 - Upgraded #16 to a 9.8! 41 - 9.8's, 10 - 9.6's, 3 - 9.4's
UPDATE: 6/26/2022 - Finally updated my descriptions! Some are better than others. It's been fun recounting my progress and looking back. I hope you enjoy!
UPDATE: 1/11/2023 - Upgraded #12 and #45 to 9.8s! New images added. Descriptions will be updated later. 43 - 9.8's, 8 - 9.6's, 3 - 9.4's
UPDATE: 2/25/2023 - Upgraded #35A to a 9.8! 44 - 9.8's, 7 - 9.6's, 3 - 9.4's
UPDATE: 3/30/2023 - Upgraded #6 to a 9.8! 45 - 9.8's, 6 - 9.6's, 3 - 9.4's
UPDATE: 6/13/2023 - Upgraded #37B to a 9.8! This issue along with the newsstand #25 have been the hardest 9.8's to get. After a few tries and 9.6's, I gave in and bought one of the only four 9.8's on census. This replaces my signed 9.6 which is one of only four signed copies on census. 46 - 9.8's, 5 - 9.6's, 3 - 9.4's
UPDATE: 6/23/2023 - I finally updated the descriptions just in the nick of time before registry lock down for the year. I hope you're enjoying this set as much as I do!
UPDATE: 7/27/2023 - Two very special updates added! I attended Garden State Comic Fest on June 24, 2023. I was able to meet a lot of great comic creators and got several books signed. Part of those signatures included Rick Leonardi signing a Spider-Man 2099 #35 and Greg Hildebrandt signing my Spider-Man 2099 Special #1. Check out the comments on each of those books for some more details. Cheers!
UPDATE: 8/26/2023 - A huge addition to the collection. I bought the only 9.9 copy of issue #2! The highest graded comic in my collection! 1 - 9.9, 45 - 9.8's, 5 - 9.6's, 3 - 9.4's
UPDATE: 11/2/2023 - Third times a charm! I finally achieved a 9.8 submission of a Newsstand #25! 1 - 9.9, 46 - 9.8's, 5 - 9.6's, 2 - 9.4's
