I got a nice e-mail from Mark Ginocchio who has started up a new website called Chasing Amazing. He’ s a writer from Brooklyn, NY and he bought his first Spidey comic back in 1987.
His goal is to collect every single Amazing Spider-Man title. He’s almost there and he blogs about the chase. So check out his site if you get a chance.

Needs more funny…
and I wish you the best of luck. If you even come close to collecting them all, that would be… AMAZING.
Heh heh… see what I did there?
Good luck to Mark. I know where he speaketh on getting them all. Down only to 1-10, 13, 14, excluding annuals. What I found compelling about his story is he got back into collecting at the same time I did…all because of that damn Spider-Man movie! Not sure why he was weeping at the opening credits, me? I was scared. I was scared the movie was going to TOTALLY suck. When it didn’t, a spark that I thought was dead was re-ignited and I wanted to see what was going on in ASM. I was not disappointed, as JMS was just starting and then I became infected. I had to complete the collection. I was missing everything from about 400 on up and also pretty much everything under #100. Luckily I scored nicely on the newer stuff in less than 2 years, but the older stuff has been much harder as it has been a long 9 years chipping away on eBay losing by a ratio of 10:1, (lost on #14 about 30 times in the past year…).
Thanks for the link BD. I will be checking in on Mark from time to time and see how he does. I got less to get than Mark does, but these real old ones are the toughest ones…
Gotta catch ’em all!
Respect.
Then more respect to you. That’s a very cool collection to have. Good luck with your pursuit.
@BB – Unfortunately, my dough is fairly unserious. Just a lifetime pursuit that I’m accomplishing one small bite at a time (and looking for respectable, but lower grade copies when I can!).
Cool idea, but he’s gotta have some serious dough I would think.
