PGM Amazing Spider-Man 40 1 1

This was part of a silver age ASM lot I bought off of Ebay and it taught me a valuable lesson - look at the pictures very closely! I had no clue any of these had tape restoration until they arrived. I thought I was getting away with a major steal  The front cover presents well but as you can see a piece of the back cover was cut out... for some reason... and taped back in. There is also tape restoration on the back cover.

I have a few questions - does tape restoration like this merit a "restored" grade? I figure it's a ding, but how much? I will likely sell this and the other books from this lot as raw - all of them have tape restoration besides 1 or 2 - but I am having trouble figuring out how to price this. Any advice on any of that would be appreciated but feel free to just drop a number. Or if you want to laugh at me for not noticing the tape on the back cover of this and a few others I'm fine with that too!

2.0 at best.. I too have gotten burned on getting batches of comics, but sometimes you do get some good ones in a batch. Its a gamble.

It's not restored. But figure the highest grade that a book with tape can get is VG+/-. And you're not the first to miss tape. I had a TTA27 with tape on the inside cover that I never noticed until I got it back from CGC.

2.0, and incomplete. You're missing the last page. One side is the second half of the letters page and on the back of it is an ad for WWII soldiers. That's what been cut out, not a piece of the back cover.

F me! Knew I should've returned these when I got them. The others are probably incomplete as well.

Expensive lesson to learn at this point, think it's been over 6 months since I got these. Thanks for the heads up.
