Description: Spectacular Spider-Man #2A January 1977 issueFEATURING:Kraven the Hunter;PLUS Tarantula and Doctor Curt Connors!! GRADED 8.5 (with WHITE pages) by CGC!! (and, since this copy has WHITE pages, no CGC 8.5 can have a higher combination of Grade plus page color, meaning thatthis copy is TIED for BEST 8.5 COPY in CGC's CENSUS!!!) Written by GERRY CONWAY;Art by SAL BUSCEMA & Mike Esposito;andCover by AL MILGROM & Frank Giacoia!! See below for complete information on the condition of the beautifully-preserved CGC-graded classic issue Long term storage in a Mylar bag with an acid-free boarduntil submission to CGC! This issue was bagged and boarded since purchase and (since 1990, when I learned about the superior results attainable with archival storage products and moved my entire collection into those products) it was preserved 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 sealed and it was returned with an 8.5 Grade. 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 being more than 45 years old, this issue STILL looks nearly NEW, especially in its CGC case with its 8.5 grade on a Universal Label showing 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 Universal label with the issue's Grade plus creator and content details, and all the corners, edges and ends of the brand new CGC case. The final photo shows it back in it's CGC-issued protective polybag and awaiting shipment to its new owner! Check out other CGC-graded copies that have been recently sold or are available for sale and compare their pix to the ones in this listing, and see for YOURSELF that this is a particularly GREAT looking copy - looking BETTER (IMHO) than the 8.5 grade that it earned!!In every instance, each item you see in one of my listings is the EXACT item you will receive if you’re the winning bidder on one of my auctions, or if you choose one of my items and Buy-It-Now!!This item will be packed extremely protectively and shipped, by USPS Ground Advantage with INSURANCE and Tracking, at the quoted shipping cost for this item (except for any INTERNATIONAL shipping charges imposed through eBay’s Global Shipping Program).
