House note1st Appearance of the black costume; Amazing Fantasy 15 cover homage
Angelo noteIn May of 2026 a Stan Lee SS in 8.5 CGC sold for $1500. In August of 2024 a 7.5 CGC sold for $184 and a 7.0 CGC sold for $237. Along with Marvel Team-up #141, Spectacular #90 and Secret Wars #8 this book is a must have for the Spider-man collector/investor interested in the black suit which eventually becomes Venom.
Ben noteWhenever new-to-CPVs collectors ask me for my opinion on which CPV to collect first, ASM 252 is my answer and here's why. As an "event" comic that received immediate collector interest, it is likely that many collectors may have not been able to load up at their local comic shop with as many copies as they wanted, and thus headed to the newsstands to add additional copies. As a result we see an extraordinarily high number of CGC census copies of both the variant (relative to other CPVs) and the "regular" types for this particular issue. This means a new CPV collector will find it much easier / less frustrating to actually find a suitable CPV copy for their collection making it a great first CPV target (also see Thor 337).
