Amazing Spider-Man #41
First Appearance of the Rhino
Record sale: $60,000
Minimum value: $40
Click to get a FREE Appraisal!
Thrown in as a sort of sub-plot alongside the main bad guy Electro, the Rhino has had the Hollywood treatment already. This made it briefly spike in value.
In 2020, the demand for this book has gone up again, as speculation that the Rhino may be 'done properly' again in the future.
Unfortunately it's a very common Spiderman book. Average condition is around 6.5 to 7.0. In a CGC holder, books in this mid-grade shape are worth between $300-400.
Uncertified copies in the same kind of grade range cost about $80-100 less.
CGC 9.4 is where prices get interesting from an investment perspective. A 9.2 will cost you about $2,000. 9.4 is double that!
These books look great in high grade: all that dark brown and granite gray on the cover shows wear easily. There hasn't been a 9.6 or 9.8 sale for two years or more.
ASM #42
First appearance of Mary Jane Watson's face
Record sale: $14,400
Minimum value: $40

Despite the lovely MJ showing her pretty nose, it's not really a key Spiderman book.
Oddly, we see far more copies of #41 than this one. When it does come in, it's usually in the 7.0 range. In that shape, it's worth about $70-100, or about $120-160 in a CGC holder.
High-grade copies are relatively common. The most recent sale of a CGC 9.8 was $7,000 in July of 2018. CGC 9.4s are around $1,600 and even a 9.6 won't force you to refinance, barely breaking the $2,000 barrier.
ASM #43
Rhino Comics Second Appearance
Record sale: $11,100
Minimum value: $30
Click to get a FREE Appraisal!
This book is pretty common too. Another dark cover shows plenty of handling wear in mid-grades, which is where we usually see this -- VF minus or a bit below. To buy a copy in 6.5 to 7.5 shape will cost you in the $80-120 range raw, or $150-190 in a holder.
Nobody cares too much about Rhino's second appearance, especially coming only a couple of issues after the first -- which is an affordable Spiderman book itself.
If you're looking for a high-grade Silver Age Spiderman book you can actually aspire to, a CGC 9.4 will cost you about $1,000!
ASM #44
Second appearance of The Lizard
Record sale: $24,000
Minimum value: $30
Click to get a FREE Appraisal!
The Lizard returns for the first time since Amazing Spider-Man #6!
This dark and dramatic sewer cover shows wear and doesn't turn up in nice condition in the office too often.
Expect to pay about $80 for a FN-VF 7.0 copy, which is about the average they seem to appear in. In a CGC holder they are worth about $120.
Prices in high grade have barely moved, though there have not been a lot of recent sales. March 2020 saw a CGC 9.2 sell for $750 and a 9.4 in January 2020 for just under $2K.
ASM #45
Third appearance of The Lizard
Record sale: $3,780
Minimum value: $30
Click to get a FREE Appraisal!
This is not a valuable comic book. There are plenty of high-grade copies around. So much so that a CGC 9.6 sold in March 2020 for around $1,000!
It's worth about $30-40 in FN-VF condition, which is the shape it normally turns up in.
This is not a book I would recommend investing in. It's unlikely to appreciate much.

ASM #46
First appearance of Shocker
Record sale: $18,000
Minimum value: $40
Click to get a FREE Appraisal!
Spider-Man: Homecoming saw The Shocker appear on the silver screen, and accordingly the value of this book rocketed and then subsided.
It's still ahead of the values it used to realize before the movie appearance.
We're getting into the late 1960s period, and more nice copies begin to show up in collections from here on in. This one is usually around 6.0 to 7.5, worth in the $100-250 range in a CGC case, and a bit less "raw".
There have not been high-grade sales for several years. A 9.4 sold for $1,100 in January 2020, which has barely appreciated since I last updated this page two years ago.
A 9.6 sold for $3,400 in March 2020, and that's where I'd put my money if it were my investment opportunity.
ASM #47
First date between Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson
Record sale: $5,760
Minimum value: $20

Another Spiderman book where there are plentiful copies around in high grade. You are able to get a CGC 9.6 for under $1,000 even in April 2020.
Typically this book arrives in FN+ to VF- due to the pale cover showing a lot of dirt. It retails for about $50 in that shape.
Not a good investment. There are just too many around and not many reasons to recommend this book over other prospects.
Record sale: $5,040
Minimum value: $40

And yet another Spiderman book where retail on a CGC 9.6 is comfortably less than $1,000. Even in March 2020, it struggles to break that price.
The most recent sale of a 9.8 was $200 LOWER than the last time I updated this page...
VF- is about the average for this book, and if you sold one on eBay in that shape you'd be $60 better off. In a CGC holder, you'd LOSE money because the grading fee costs more than the price differential between raw and slabbed copies!
If you're going to invest, wait... wait... wait... for a CGC 9.8.
Record sale: $10,500
Minimum value: $10

Another fairly unremarkable issue, in which Spidey is teamed up on by Kraven and the Vulture.
These dark cover issues are tough in higher grade...
That said, prices of CGC 9.6s barely break through the $1,000 barrier, so you can own a really nice copy of this and still send your kid to college. One sold in March 2020 for $1,200.
Average grade is about a 7.0, and it's worth $30-50 in that shape if you sell on eBay.
ASM #50
First appearance of Kingpin
Plot of Spider-Man 2 movie with Toby McGuire was loosely based on this comic
Record sale: $66,000
Minimum value: $130
Click to get a FREE Appraisal!
Kingpin is a bald bad guy who is big business now, thanks to the Daredevil Netflix TV show featuring this super-villain.
Beaters come into our office all the time. Usually in the 3.5 to 5.0 range. Maybe it's the red cover. Maybe it's because the story is cool and it got thumbed through back in the day more than other issues from this period.
These Spiderman books sell for $200-250 or so in VG-FN condition. In a CGC holder you might have to pay as much as $350 in the same condition.
This book gets expensive around the VF-NM range. My investment pick would be a nice CGC 9.0 with white pages. At the time I last updated this page, it was worth around $1,500. It's now worth $3,500!
Out of sight in 9.8, and the next 9.6 will comfortably fetch $20K+. A 9.4 sold in March 2020 for $9,600.
ASM #51
Second appearance of Kingpin
Record sale: $31,200
Minimum value: $60

The poor man's ASM #50. Pretty rare in high grade -- only three examples exist in CGC 9.8. Back in May 2019, a 9.4 fetched $1,030.
I'd invest in a CGC 9.2. You should be able to get one for around $700.
While #50 is often missing from Spiderman comic collections, #51 usually shows up around 7.0, and if you sold one in that shape you'd fetch between $80-100.
ASM #52
First appearance of Joe "Robbie" Robertson
Record sale: $6,670
Minimum value: $20
Click to get a FREE Appraisal!
Disturbingly similar to the cover of another common issue, Amazing Spiderman #33, this book is pretty unremarkable, value-wise.
Barely breaks $120 in VF- shape, in or out of a CGC holder.
There are 20 copies in CGC 9.6 out there. If you can find one for around $1,500, then it might be a decent bet, but I am not very bullish about potential future value on this book.
In fact, several years after I wrote this, the update price of a 9.6 was $1,560 in March 2020.
Record sale: $5,080
Minimum value: $20

Doc Oc is back in the first of a four-part series.
In average 7.0 shape, this book is worth about $30-40 raw and $50-70 in a holder.
The last sale of a 9.6 was only $1,000 in July 2019. There are also ten copies graded CGC 9.8 in the census. It's not a very likely candidate for future resale growth.
Record sale: $6,600

Part two of the Octopus series.
Broadly similar in value to #52. CGC 9.6s barely break the $1,000 barrier.

-- she marries Peter Parker and they live happily ever after!

I consider this to be a classic cover.
There are fewer high grade copies of this Spiderman book in the market. Expect to pay nearly $2,000 for a CGC 9.6, which I would consider to be a better investment because of the cover art.
This trickles down to average grades too. A CGC 7.0 will cost you $130-160, a raw example in the same kind of shape is worth about $60-80.
ASM #56
First appearance of Capt. George Stacy
Record sale: $4,800
Minimum value: $20
Click to get a FREE Appraisal!
Even Captain Stacy can't bring a lot of appeal to this issue. Newspaper covers always look a bit washed out in my opinion.
It's a common issue that is worth about $40 in average, 7.0 shape.
Record sale: $3,500
Minimum value: $30

Cool skyline action cover. Ka-Zar is not a popular character, not even paired with Spidey, or the X-Men in Uncanny X-Men #10.
Worth about $30-50 in average shape, and $800 or so if you fancy a CGC 9.6 copy.
Record sale: $6,300
Minimum value: $20

Whenever you see a predominantly dark cover image like this one, you can guess that it's going to be expensive in high grade. It's a nice robot-theme cover, too.
In about FN-VF range, you will probably not get more than $50 for this Amazing Spiderman book. Investing in a crisp CGC 9.6 is probably a smart choice, if you can find one at under $1,500.
The most recent sale was $1,200 in May 2019.
ASM #59
First appearance of Brainwasher;
first Mary Jane Watson cover

Minimum value: $40

A pretty common Spiderman book, usually found in 7.5 or so, and worth $40-60 in that shape.
With no less than 32 CGC 9.8s and 67 9.6s in the census, this is not a good investment bet.

This Spiderman book is MUCH rarer in high grade, with only four copies known in CGC 9.8. It's also a classic Kingpin cover, which helps the price.
In average shape it's worth about $30-40.
Prices are too top-heavy. I don't like this as an investment, but a 9.2 is relatively affordable if you're in the mood to gamble at under $500.
