Got this back in 2008. Andrea always was my favorite character in TWD.

Thanks everybody for the responses, business or party! After walking by it a few more times I realized my heart wasn't really in the piece so I made no offer. It was the first awesome thing I saw walking in the door and I got a little impulsive. Still, I appreciate the back up! And I did get their card...

Kinda dig this page but have no idea of the value. Was hoping someone could clue me in as to whether this is priced fairly?

Bagley was my first artist when I started reading (Amazing) Spider-Man. I have never been able to snag an ASM page but these USM pages have kept me happy. The Carnage page is my favorite. Kingpin beating the spoons off of Moon Knight and Pete is always fun to look at. The other two were just nice examples of Ultimate MJ. Kinda sci-fi feeling pages during the clone saga where MJ turned into a Red Goblin. One of these days I'm going to try to pick up a page with a fully costumed Spidey. Chrisco37, love your pages!

This one is a keeper for me so I won't be grading it. Got the sigs personally. It would look gross in green. Thanks everybody for your thoughts!

My copy of GI JOE 1 is pretty solid. There are some easily pressable defects on the cover that do not show up in the picture. Main issue are the two small tears on the lower left rear wear it looks like someone snagged it with their thumb. Would love thoughts on the grade as pictured as I am assuming anything not visible would press out.

I love my copy of SS3 but have no idea how to grade it. The stain on the upper right hand cover looks tactile but isn't. The prominent stain on the back upper right cover is the worst of the dirtiness. The spine....yeah, no clue. Would love some insight!

Paid a lot more for this 20 years ago! Glad to have it back in the collection!

I had no idea who Paul was when I bought this page. I just needed a good old Haymaker in my collection!

Hey all! Wondering what you would grade this book and where it may be after a press? Defects not shown in the pictures are 3 non-color breaking bends on the spine and a small indentation (also ncb) on the top front cover. Back cover spine is defect free besides the staples and upper and lower right corners are sharp. Was also wondering if and how the tanning and smudge on the insert might affect the grade. I haven't submitted a book in forever so pressing has never been on my radar but I'm wondering "when to press". Going to submit some moderns soon (not this) and thought this could be educational. Thanks!

Great stuff! Especially the Bagleys! Wrong symbiote but I have a little Bags love, myself!

Bagley Carnage Goodness!

Thanks for the responses. I talked with the seller who really did not seem to understand the idea of "restoration". I explained politely how even just a little color touch puts a book into that category and can negatively impact the value of a book. He is 64 and really does not deal with comics but listened to what I had to say and in the end preferred to give a partial refund over having the books returned as "he didn't know what to do with them". He sold me the 48 and a 50 for $370 plus shipping and insurance and I took a partial refund based on the $300 I felt was the 48 part of the deal. I have never been interested in owning a restored book but this situation was new. Based on our back and forth I truly don't think the guy realized he was being deceitful. I was happy with the book (all I wanted was a full M in Marvel!) except for the color touch and ultimately I paid a price for it I felt was fair while cutting the guy a little slack. I plan on this being a keeper and although I already had the idea Joey suggested, I think I am going to leave it as is. I kind of like the idea that a kid just didn't like the hole in the cover of one of his favorite books and had an idea. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. But, I'm gonna go with it. Thanks guys!

Guys, thanks for the responses. I was in a rush and said "Fine" meaning I paid a price in-line with the grade I believed it to be (3.5 ish). Can always count on boardies to tell it like it is! I'm so bummed. I knew it would be considered restored as soon as I saw that but just wanted to check with everybody first. I was buying it as a keeper but I will never be happy with it knowing I paid a universal price for a restored book. Even if it is just minor color touch. I am going to get in touch with the seller and get the ball rolling. Just for the record, he has 100% eBay rating with 3600+ feedback. Apparently he is selling off his original owner FF's (so he would have been the one to do the touch up) but no other comics so I'm inclined to believe he may not have understood he was doing anything wrong. Not that he gets to keep my money. Luckily I have never run into this issue before and I'm just disappointed that it's happening with the one book I really want right now. Thanks again for all the info and helping out a 15 year noob! https://www.ebay.com/itm/FANTASTIC-FOUR-48-The-Coming-Of-Galactus-Marvel-Universe-Silver-Surfer-Watcher/222829525591?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
