What's Amazing Spider-Man #3 worth in 2024?

The value of Amazing Spider-Man #3 in Mint condition has remained relatively stable over the years.  In 2007, you could have picked up a CGC NM+ 9.6 copy for about $40,000. Today, you might be able to buy a copy for $55,000. Mid and lower grade copies have done much better due to their affordability. In 2007, a FN 6.0 copy could be purchased for $1,000 but today you will need to spend $5,000 for that same grade.  Low grade copies (GD 2.0) have gone up in value from $300 in 2007 to $1,700 today. We recommend you pick up a nice mid grade copy with no marvel chipping (link) and hold on for the ride!

Why is this comic book valuable?

Dr. Octopus, Spider-Man’s most popular arch-nemesis (and most infamous), is introduced in issue #3.  In the Marvel Universe, EVERYONE is affected by radiation (including Spider-Man) and Dr. Octopus begins his reign of terror in the same way, after being bombarded with radiation after a nuclear accident.  The accident fuses his arms to his body, messes with Doc Ock’s mind and brings a whole new challenge to the web slinger. He also becomes the leader of the Sinister Six (link).
