Decorated by some of Ol' Webhead's most famous artists (including Ross Andru and John Romita, Sr.), this is a one-of-a-kind item from Spidey's legendary co-creator. In Stan's own words, "The Spider-Man pinball machine being offered by Heritage Comics Auctions is my personal property. I was assured when I acquired it that it was one of the very first Spider-Man pinball machines ever made. I've had it for decades, and throughout that time it has resided in my office, which, nomad that I am, has been relocated often. Regardless of my office's location, this machine went with me and has never been in storage. Over the years, I have spent countless frustrating yet perversely enjoyable hours attempting to play on it, as have numerous colleagues, friends and business associates (some quite famous, though a combination of modesty, shame and my legendary bad memory prevents me from divulging their names here) during their unrelenting pilgrimages to my office. In fact, I think many of these scions of arts and industry came over JUST to beat me up at pinball. I hope its new owner will be a better player than I am." In addition to the honor of winning the machine itself, the successful bidder will win the right to go head-to-head with Stan "The Man" Lee himself. Stan initiated the challenge himself when he said, "Let him who is without fear venture forth to do battle upon the multi-hued table of valor! The gauntlet hath been thrown, the challenge hurled! Now sound ye the trumpets and beat ye the drums, for as surely as night doth follow day, Thou Who Art Worthy shall meet the Knight of Excelsior in cataclysmic combat for the majestic mantle of-- Pinball Immortality!" The machine is in good condition and will certainly be a prized item in any collection. <B>Estimate: $5,000-up</B> </FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><!--<a name="PricesRealized"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#000000"> <tr> <td width="100%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="100%" bgcolor="#79735C"> <a name="PR"> <font face="arial" size="3" color="#FFFFFF"> <b>Previous Prices from Heritage Auctions</b> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#F6F6ED"> No Prior Data Recorded </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <font face="arial" size="1""> PLEASE NOTE: All prices realized reflect the final hammer price PLUS the buyer's premium in auctions that charge a buyer's premium.
