🕸️ Amazing Spider-Man: The Undefeated king of collecting
A fixture in every era since the Silver Age, Amazing Spider-Man is absent only from the 1930s—but from the 1960s through the 2020s, it dominates both in sheer volume and total sales. No other title comes close to its cross-generational grip on the CGC market.
