I assume a restored complete issue goes for more than an unrestored incomplete issue (blue label)  

Just flagging this statement too. I'm far from an expert, but I can definitely see sales data on GPA that runs counter to this, particularly with the extensive nature of restoration that would be needed. (A pro restorer would be able to speak to this too.)

I agree that I have had high quality responses and that this an art and not a science, but correct me if I am wrong, but there should be a rough reasonable estimate of what a centerfold should retail for. If you were to go out and buy one today, what would you pay and expect it to be selling for?

you keep asking the same question expecting someone to have "the answer"...no one knows. It's worth what someone is willing to pay at any given time. You've had quality responses and yet continue to ignore them. What is it that you are hoping for?

I agree and the answers have been provided.

I don't own a near complete Superman #1, but if I did I don't believe I'd want to Frankenstein it into something it is not.  I would just find some nice high resolution images of the coupon (or other torn bits) and have them printed to put behind the backer board (you never know how new paper might react with the old pulp - don't slip printer paper between the original sheets). 

Buy a Masterpiece Edition of #1 if presentation matters that much.

If I had a Superman 1 2.0 missing centerfold it would be worth twice as much to me as it would be if I only wanted to buy a centerfold. 

I have a Marvel comics 1 coverless missing last page and bid 1k and lost 15 years ago and have never seen another for sale.

10k is a reasonable deal if you wanted the centerfold only. I would pay more if I wanted it for a complete book common sense thing here.

I would say find another centerfold besides the one from Blizzard and post it here .

What is a reasonable amount of time for you to find one?.

Time is money what is your time worth to find one.
