Whoever bagged this put a sticker on the back declaring its grade VGFN 6. Let it be known. If anyone were to ask me who my favorite X-Man is, I would answer…

ASM 158
This is one of the most unintentionally funny Spider-Man covers of all time. Hammerhead legit doing spooky ghost hands! What a crazy one. I guess it would certainly entice you to buy…
