I'm very new here, and I've just started collecting again aftwr 20 years. I found a local person who has a collection two long boxes in size. He offered it for a few hundred dollars. I know there's a lot of Marvel but here's the kivker: there is a copy of Amazing Spiderman 1 in what appears to be poor condition and Amazing Spiderman 2 in may good or a step below, not poor though. Worth it?

What's a few hundred dollars? And for an ASM#1, regardless of condition, it would be worth it, but mostly for posterity, to say "I have a copy!" If you figure roughly 275 comics per box then you are looking at roughly 550 comics at a buck or two apiece, may not be bad investment. Just depends on what's in it and how much you are willing to spend on an unknown, ie, conditions, issues, etc. Is it mostly slough, poor reader copies, obscure issues that are of little or no value, or could there be a few hidden gems, that someone has over looked? If it was me, I would probably go for it, just get to get the #1. Even in poor condition, still worth a few hundred.

I agree with jarhead , Two long-boxes for a few hundred with ASM 1 and 2 in any condition what a deal.
