SPIDER-MAN #540 (1983) Marvel Comics UK FF and similar items

SPIDER-MAN #540 Marvel Comics (1983) UK This comic is from the amazing Spider Steve collection that was recently auctioned off by Heritage Auctions. Steve Levine aka ?Spider Steve? was a well-known Los Angeles defense attorney as well as the premiere collector of Spider-Man related comics, toys, original art and one-of-a-kind items. The Hollywood Reporter once described his collection as ?perhaps the most unique Spider-Man collection in existence?. His entire collection was recently put up for sale following his untimely death in order to benefit his family. I hope that this item finds a special place in your personal collection as it did in his. MY GRADING SYSTEM FOR COMICS I try to be fair and honest in my grading, and make every attempt to mention loose pages, stains, tears, binding damage, etc. Sometimes I find that a comic falls between two grades, in which case I will list it with a two-grade scale. NEAR MINT - MINT: I rarely use these grades, except when a comic is in truly exceptional condition. VERY FINE: very nice with virtually no major defects. FINE+: an even nicer copy, with minimal obvious defects. FINE: a nice copy, flat with minor creases; may have some spine stress, but no prominent defects. FINE-: better than VG+ but just a bit short of what I would consider Fine. VERY GOOD+: most of the comics I list fall into this grade; a typical read comic with obvious defects as noted; may have light back cover stains; may have name written at edge of cover. VERY GOOD: fairly well-read with an accumulation of tears and defects as noted; may be heavily creased or spine-rolled; back cover stains may be present; may have name written at edge of cover. GOOD: a complete but heavily-read comic; may be missing pieces of covers, loose covers, rolled spine or other noted damage. FAIR: a rough comic, with many defects including tears. missing pieces, water damage, spine wear, etc. POOR: no missing pages unless noted, but otherwise a pretty trashed comic; almost any and every damage may be present.
