The Steve Ditko variant cover – reprinting the original Amazing Fantasy #15 art – of Amazing Spider-man #700 (used as a retailer incentive) is beginning to sell for large amounts of money. As bleedingcool has begun to cover, a recent issue sold for $1,225 via eBay.
Nice to know that playing people for suckers in the comics dealer business isn’t a lost art. Let me get this straight: a reprint of a cover that’s been reprinted many times is causing an issue to rise in price? Wonder if Ditko got a bonus for having that cover reprinted? Doesn’t matter I guess, people can spend their money on anything they want.
