Description: For your kind consideration is this CGC 6.5/FN+ (fine plus) copy of Amazing Spider-Man #135 with off-white to white pages from 1974. This issue features the 2nd appearance of the Punisher, the origin of Tarantula and a classic John Romita Sr. cover. As for whether or not ASM 134 is the "true" 2nd appearance of the Punisher, I leave that for you, dear reader, to decide. Obviously, CGC considers 135 to be his 2nd appearance as proven by their label for this book. Please take advantage of the fact that I'm entertaining all serious offers for this book by making me one. I am of the firm belief that negotiating (or haggling, if you're old, like me) over the price of comic books is a time-honored tradition that makes the transactional experience more enjoyable for buyer and seller alike. That's just my verbose way of saying, "Let's haggle." I always include a raw mystery book with every slab I sell, usually from the same title...just something to consider. In light of the re-holder scandal at CGC, among others, here's the history of this book/slab. I purchased it, raw, from a seller on Whatnot on July 30, 2023. I then cleaned and pressed the book myself and sent it to be slabbed at CGC, which it was on September 13, 2023 as revealed by looking up the book's cert # (4323874004) on either CGC's or GoCollect's website. The sites also list the grader's notes for the book. The book/slab has been in my possession since its purchase date. I understand that I'm asking you to trust me and that trust is in short supply within the comic collecting community at the current time. All I can do is to direct you to my feedback and offer to answer any questions you might have. Your newly acquired 6.5 copy of ASM 135 will be shipped to you no later than the day after receiving payment (unless, of course, that day is a Sunday), double-boxed and surrounded by enough bubble wrap to re-float the Edmund Fitzgerald...a ship that sank on November 10, 1975 on Lake Superior and Gordon Lightfoot memorialized in song the next year. You're welcome. Anyway, I use an obscene amount of bubble wrap, just ask around. Please check out my other listings. I add new books all the time, thanks. And thanks for your time and consideration, both are greatly appreciated.
