12 Silver Age Spider-Man Keys – My Quest for the First 100 | Only My Slabs 37

It’s episode 37 of Only My Slabs, and today I’m showcasing 12 graded Silver Age Spider-Man comics from my personal collection. These aren’t just any slabs—they’re part of my long-running mission to complete the first 100 issues of Amazing Spider-Man! In this episode, I reflect on my "pandemic project" where I decided to crank my collecting up to 11 and finish the Amazing Spider-Man #1–100 run. You’ll see exactly why I made certain "concessions" to reach that goal, including picking up mid-grade copies to keep the quest moving 🕷️ What You’ll See in This Episode: Classic Silver Age ASM slabs, graded and gorgeous First appearances, iconic covers, and major keys Personal stories from a collector’s journey Why Spider-Man is the most relatable hero in comics Whether you're a lifelong webhead or just getting into graded books, this episode is packed with nostalgia, insights, and serious comic book eye candy.
