    A Mego Spider-man Holy Grail acquired

    I have been searching for this guy for over 5 years. Every one I've tracked down (and it hasn't been many) was in the 1400-1600 range...a bit more than what I wanted to pay. One did sell recently at Hake's for $1000, but it was the Marvel only card. I wanted the first issue Kresge card with the 6 characters on the header. I got this guy for a 1/3 of those prices.

    Even though this is a re-seal (a nice one at that), I do not care because he is so rare. I think carded Spidey Kresges are some of the hardest to find due to the fact that he was so popular and kids could not wait to tear into it. I realize they were all made to be opened and played with, but I know in my 5 year search, this is only the 4th for me to even see, much less have an opportunity to bid on.

    EDITED TO ADD: I'll tell you how serious my search has been for this...I've had the money put back for him for 5 years!

                  I'm impressed that you kept the funds on hold for it for so long. I would never have the discipline to do that.

                        Thanks guys.

                        This particular carded figure represents my earliest Mego memories as a 5 year old going to K-mart with my mom and her finally saying "yes" to buying this for me. He is the first Mego I ever got, and he set me on the Mego collecting path so to speak.

                        He has so much more sentimental value to me than actual value.

                          It's fantastic, the sentiment makes it priceless.
