Is this normal for Amazing Spiderman Annual #1? 0

Just wanting to make sure I didn't overpay. Also hoping this doesn't count as a detached cover.

Partially detached, as the integrity of the glue has failed in many places. As a friendly reminder, I would not bend the pages that way, unless you want it completely detached.

Yeah I just wasn't sure how to get the picture without trying to show it. Well that is a shame. The book is fairly decent shape other than that and name on cover.

Whether it was a good deal or not, all depends on the purchase price.

You should investigate refund options

I was going to echo others here who expressed sentiments along the lines of your returning this for a refund if that option is still available. In fact, the moment I saw the paid price, $599, I nearly spit my freshly sipped mouthful of coffee across my computer desk! My first impression was to figure it's a $250 to $300 book, tops, until I looked at the lower end of GPAnalysis. I had no idea that CGC graded copies of this book in the 2.0 to 3.0 range were routinely selling in the $500 to $650 range. In the final analysis of price vs. value, if you like the book and it's a keeper, at $599, you did actually get what you paid for, you're within the average retail range going by GP reporting of CGC 2.0 to 3.0 sales data. .

It's raw, not slabbed. You overpaid for it, but not horribly. Spine splits are pretty common in these books in low grade.
