Wellll.... hold on....there's a lot of things that go into deciding what the price to pay would be for EACH INDIVIDUAL.

SOunds like you are asking about a price in Euros, AND it sounds like your now looking for a book signed by Stan, BUT TO READ.  CGC SS books are typically encapsulated, and breaking them out of the slab to read would kill nearly all the value of the book.  So it sounds like you want a raw book (unslabbed) to read.  And now its sounds like you're in Europe, in a non-English speaking country. 

I, living in America with generally easy access to many comic book stores both in person and online, and relatively easy shipping/returns, can find a comic signed by Stan Lee fairly easily, at a full spectrum of prices.  I think the minimum I'd see on something like that in America is $50.  I wouldn't buy it at $50 because its a super random issue with no special meaning to me, and I don't mind paying $25-$50 more for an issue I actually like, or $200 more for a comic in a CGC slab with a certified witnessed signature.

If I were in a non-English speaking European country where comics shops and selection were much more rare, and international shipping were much more expensive...I might see things differently from a seller and buyer perspective.  There's a lot of value in inspecting something in hand with your own eye, and taking it home today, and knowing I won't be frauded by someone across the sea, or that it won't get lost/damaged/caught in customs.  How much value is up to the individual.  And for the seller they ideally need to make a certain amount of profit on each item and the cost of replacement might be a bigger factor than the initial cost to them.

 

But yes, probably too much to pay.  But you may considering doing some research on other books, and then maybe go back to the person with an offer of something lower.

thank you very much! you've been super detailed

There are other companies that verify signatures, in the event that it is very important to you, of course the signature might not be verified.

if you are set on this comic for some reason, nothing wrong with that.  But there are literally tens of thousands of comics on eBay and other websites that are Cgc SS signed by Stan Lee, I bet you can find something you’re interested if you prefer a certified signature.  
 

that being said, if you are considering this comic, I’d pay $25 on a good day if the condition is nice and I saw it in person.  I might pay more if I loved this issue, or less if there were other issues I liked more around.

So, the requested price of 130€ is too high! Thank you very much for the help. I'm a comics reader, i'd like to have a Stan Lee's signed book, but for a legit price

The signature looks legit to me, but CGC will not verify for you.  They only verify signatures if the book is witnessed by an authorized rep (which this book is not).  You would get a green label if you submitted this.   Also, the pics are a little blurry but the book doesn't appear to be high grade enough (IMO) to warrant grading costs (especially since the sig wouldn't be verified).   

If you do buy it, just keep it raw and enjoy it that way.   

How much is the asking price?
