Is the white spot between Spider-Man's legs in the upper left-hand corner the small amount of cover touch?

I don't see this selling for the same amount as a Universal 7.5, so I'm going to say "no".

Any ideas on price / value? Do you think it might be worth 75% of FMV Universal? If so, it's still pretty valuable.

If I just stored it for 10 years, do you think the Stan Lee sig would appreciate in value?

I can tell you that this very copy sold two years ago for $700.  I expect it would sell for 2x~3x that amount today.  Since my name is not Nostradamus, I can't say what it would sell for 10 years from now.  However, clearly, this was a very, very generous gift!

Thanks!! That's incredibly helpful... where can I find the sale history? Do you look it up using the CGC #?

It was a graduation present

75% of FMV blue? I'd say no, but you might get lucky.

As for the second question, the question incomplete that any answer given (which would already be a half-cooked prediction) would be completely out of context and be essentially useless.  Yes I believe the Stan sig will appreciate in value over ten years.  But how much? And what about inflation/interest rates (which are quite high now), and what about the perception of restored comics?  As more previously ungraded comics are found/inherited and and graded over the next ten years, perhaps people the demand for restored comics (which is already low except for ultra keys) will diminish even more.  And what about the comic itself?  Kingpin has already been presented twice in the last 20 years, would we expect any other type of media-driven bump?  And if we're getting into the nitty gritty, your tax bracket might be different in ten years.

But generally, I would expect growth but not anticipate explosive growth for this book over the next ten years.  BUT restored books are notoriously hard to predict pricing for, as restorations vary soooooo much.

Will a restored ASM 50 signed by Stan sell for what an unsigned ASM 50 goes for? I'd say yes, or very close to it.

I've had success with having color touch removed and keeping the same grade. Might want to consider that since it's "slight."

Wouldn't you lose the signature series designation?

I'm not aware of any database that allows one to look up the sale history of a book based on its certification number.  And y'all can forget about "un-restoring" this particular comic:

I was gifted a sig series restored "purple/yellow" but I'm not sure how these labels are valued? Photo attached.

It's a very slight alteration, and the Stan Lee signature is really clear and perfect placement. This is such a key issue at a pretty high grade, but I'm not sure how the label impacts the value. Also, how do these labels appreciate in value, compared to regular signature series?

CGC notes are "Apparent 7.5 SS SA. SIGNED BY STAN LEE ON 2/7/14 Restoration includes: small amount of color touch on cover."

Any opinions are appreciated, thanks!

Is that you who has it listed at $4K right now ?

Didn't like the gift ?

Actually, no.  Until you posted, I was not aware such a site existed.  I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!    Does gocollect have any additional sale data on this particular copy?

So much for setting it aside for 10 years.

GoCollect has the image of the slab, so you can do a search looking at the images..can be a little tedious but knowing the grade and label color helps a lot. GoCollect tells you which site sold it. I dont believe they have graders notes..I use GPA for that

I have no clue. Restored seems to fetch about 50%, Stan Lee's sig might bump it up to 55% or something. That's a completely uneducated guess, though.
