Ever wonder what it would take to get a 9.8 Spidey 30 cent price variant? Filter81 Spider-Man 159 sets record

A true highlight of any Marvel 30 cent price variant collection would be a MINT 9.8 example of a Spider-Man price variant. There are five Amazing Spider-Man 30 cent price variant issues. There are two certified 9.8s the variant issue of 155 (32 regular issue 9.8s). No certified 9.8s of the variant issue of 156 (only 9 regular issue 9.8s, key issue right here). Two certified 9.8s of the variant issue of 157 (107 regular issue 9.8s). One certified 9.8 of the variant issue of 158 (32 regular issue 9.8s). There is one single-highest graded 9.8 of issue 159 (53 regular issue 9.8s). 

Two 155s, no 156s, two 157s, one 158, and one 159.  Six total. That is not very many for the legion of Spider-Man collectors out there. 

Filter 81 auctioned off this unbelievable certified 9.8 copy of Issue 159. Not surprisingly, bidding was exceptionally strong, generating 41 bid increments, and closing at $2403.67.
This is a new record for the issue and a new member in the Four Figure Club.
