So far I've only bought my original art on eBay and from Jim Warden. In 3 years, I've never had a lost package or a shipping/delivery problem despite the Atlantic between. My problem is shipping costs discrepancies. Shipping can go from $10 to $50 and I don't know why...

One question Philippe, did you pay more or less for the Tota page than for the Romita JR page ?

Picked both my original art pages from the artist themselves at conventions. (My other piece is a page from issue 50 of Ex Machina).

JB: It will doubtless please you to know, then, that I still occasionally use that piece as "reference" when I am drawing the FF or Superman.

That DEFINITELY pleases me! Very cool!

Here's mine, acquired back in the late '80s. (Forgive the glare.)

Greg, that glare is unforgivable. Send that piece to me right now.

Kane and Romita (when it WAS Kane, and not his studio) are my favorite Spider-Man art team, after Ditko going solo. That is a SWEET piece!

Thank you for the responses, everybody! Yeah, I count myself very lucky to have that on my wall. I love that it features JJJ.
