This set absolutely deserved a page of its own. What you are looking at here, is the incredible Amazing Spider-Man #298 Worldwide Set, put together by Hector Banda over several years of painstakingly scouring the world to find every #298 published. Hector then went furthur .. and got signatures from the major contributors to that book (Stan Lee, Todd McFarlane, David Michelinie and Bob McLeod) .. and then got the books CGC Graded under their Authentic Signature Yellow Label service. I am so proud to show you Hector's former collection. 

Thanks, Hector Banda .. a primo set builder in extremis!
