Amazing Spider-man 370 OA page by Mark Bagley. Worth it? 2 2

[SECollector]

Hey guys! I know pretty much nothing about OA and I have never purchased anything. I collect comics but the interest is there.

However, I have found in a local site here a listing about a page by Bagley from ASM 370. Nothing amazing, mainly random people in the panels and in one of them a tiny little Spidey coming from the sky. But I would really like to grab it and start slowly a small collection of ASM OA pages. 

My question is, what would you guys consider a fair market price for such a page, i.e. a random page of ASM by Bagley? 

Thanks!

Here is a "photo" of it. Sorry for the quality, this is actually the "better photo" I asked about since the one in the listing was even worse.

Maybe a couple of hundred bucks? I think it's cool you want to get started in OA. Have fun, buy what you like and you will be happy!

And this is the actual page. Would you pay like 50-60 dollars for this? Any opinions appreciated!

$50-$60 I would pay for sure. That one Spidey panel alone worth it. Bagley helped create Carnage and was very popular during his 90's run. I think if you can get that would be great.

Yeah. Not a lot. $100 max.

$50-$60 is good, agree $100 would be pushing it. It's essentially a zero to the market except for that very small Spider-Man. That's what you're paying for.

Bagley, out of costume/no Spidey pages go for about $250.  $100 would be on the low side.

I have sold nearly 100 Bagley ASM pages via several online sources, at shows and through private deals .

This page features nobody from a nothing story that no one remembers today.

if it sells for anywhere near $250, I'll eat my hat (and yours too, for good measure)

Peter had parents? I'm glad I stopped reading Spider-man in the 80's!

Yea, came back in 365 (OMG I had so many copies of that book when I was a kid, I was SURE it was going to be worth billions one day, cause it had a HOLOGRAM!!!) And then for the next two years he dealt with them coming back into his life.  It was a pretty good arc, and also interesting in that the revelation that they were LMDs made by the Chameleon, hurt even more so leading up to 400 and the death of Aunt May.

Glad I missed it.

The page looks pretty yellowed too (unless that's just the photo).  Not from tanning, but from glue likely (pressed against art that stained your page).

Just be prepared in case it's that discolored, when it arrives.

I could see 100-300 depending on the day. Low end art can vary greatly. I’m going to say any Bagley ASM Page with Spidey on it is worth at least a c-note.

 It's a one inch Spider-man!  ONE INCH...come on... If I was you I'd buy it and sell it to one of these certain it is worth more, because then you'll see if they'd pay that.  The answer is no.  It's "RETAIL" to some may be $250 but it'll sit there, for sale, for years, so no, it's not 'worth that'...  BUT...if YOU like it...pay what YOU will.  That's truly what this all boils down to.  Good idea to seek advice here too.  You will get a variety, as you may already see.

Yes, yes they are.  Or no, no they're not.  I don't know, they suck and don't count is what I'm saying.  Felicia Hardy, however does.

Pages are so individual, no matter how they are grouped into # of panels, character counts in costume,, etc......THIS page...I'd say $125 TOPS and if it mattered to you personally.  I'd try for lower though.  Best of luck, let us know how this goes, and welcome to the 'one of a kind'(sometimes) playhouse...

Thanks for that, since I usually really don't like the "how much is this worth" type of questions and I was hesitant about posting this. But yes it is interesting to see how opinions can vary. 

Thanks everyone for your input. I truly get it that this is not by any means any really significant piece, but I thought that it was a cool thing to find in a local sales site here in Sweden. I ended up grabbing it at a price that I really felt comfortable with (approx. $50). It will be cool to have my first OA page to put aside with my ASM run, and I really hope to slowly add more by more artists that have worked for the run. Maybe one with Spidey larger than Ant-Man, lol.
