Kingpin Coming To The MCU Will Blow It Up Further

"The Amazing Spider-Man #50 (Marvel, 1967) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white to white pages. The first appearance of the Kingpin makes this book a hot commodity, and it also contains a retelling of Spider-Man's origin.

Overstreet 2021 NM- 9.2 value = $4,000. CGC census 9/21: 15 in 9.6, 7 higher. From the #1 Amazing Spider-Man Registry Set Collection."
