Grading guides

The Amazing Fantasy #15 in context

Why collectors care

Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962) is the first appearance and origin of Spider-Man, one of the most important Silver Age keys and a cornerstone Marvel book. Demand is enormous and durable across every grade.

How to identify it

A 1962 first printing, not the multiple reprints or the facsimile edition Marvel later released (the facsimile is clearly marked and modern). Confirm the 12-cent cover and Silver Age indicia.

Common mistakes

The facsimile and reprints are frequently listed alongside originals; read the indicia and cover price. Restoration and trimming are common on this book and should be graded and disclosed.

Grade considerations

High-grade copies are genuinely scarce and command steep premiums, while the market is deep in mid grades. Marvel Silver Age books often have off-white to tan pages; page quality affects value at the high end.

Newest recorded sale: 2026-09-18. This summary describes stored history.

Inclusion

All 3 recorded eBay sold (completed) listings in this historical sample, grouped by grader and grade. Asking prices and active listings are never counted.

Outlier handling

Within any grade that has four or more sales, a price below one-third of, or above three times, the within-grade median is set aside before the median is taken. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.

A comic sale that sold for under a third of the median of this issue's lower-grade sales is also set aside as a probable reprint, facsimile, later printing or restored copy, since a higher grade of the same book should not sell for less. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.

This issue also has a documented sale of a real copy: a CGC 1.0 copy sold for $11,400 at Heritage Auctions on May 27, 2024 (source). A sale at that grade or higher for under 10% of that price is set aside as a probable reprint or facsimile. For this item, 0 of 3 sales were set aside on this rule.
