I picked up this beautiful Bagley ASM splash page last week. Its the last page from ASM #404, which was the very first comic I ever read or purchased. Without a doubt, this was my holy grail. Saw it online 4 years ago, but couldn't afford it then. So excited to finally own it! By next week, it'll be framed and hung on the wall. Here’s my CAF.

Are you implying it looks well or poorly done? It's at CGC right now. I did the work myself, Here's a link to a thread with details of the work (middle and botttom of page): Link

Hi everyone, I posted this book in the grading forum and got some positive responses as far as the grade goes. I don't think many people actually visit that forum (if I'm wrong, let me know) and haven't seen my previous post. I recieved the book last friday from eBay seller jalva75 and spent the last week restoring it myself, putting in roughly 10-12 hours. Tape had to be removed from the length of the spine, a spine split sealed, small pieces added, reinforcement, and color touched. As you can see, there was a missing piece to the bottom right corner that had to be recreated and color matched (the yellows look slightly off in the scan, but in reality are nearly perfectly matched). There were a few spots, namely the top edge, that had to be color touched. Also, the majority of the wraps were completely split at the spine, with the rest split half way. Each had to be sealed and reinforced. I couldn't have been happier with how the book turned out. Below is a before and after shot of the new centerpiece of my collection, as well as a link to my previous post in the grading forum with much larger scans of the front cover as well as the back.

I just recieved this one in the mail today. Its restored and the work was well done, and whether or not you're in favor of or against restoration, it enables me to own a gorgeous book at an affordable price.
