LOL Don't do it! The day I would give Mrs. Rover my critique of her home decor... would be my last. Hell hath no fury... like an angry ginger.

3.0 for the book. 5.5 for the upholstery.

Hadn't seen this until today, but as I looked at the scans, my first thought was... man... it's rare that you can hope for too much in a clean... but this is one of those times. Congrats!

Slab received cracked from CGC
oldrover replied to Bperilous's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
I got back an Avengers 4 with a cracked case. Contacted C/S... they paid for reholdering and shipping both ways. FWIW. -

A press would address that spine roll. I'd say 3.0, maybe 3.5, after a press. -

Well, he does need the dough, after shelling out $30 billion to the Mesothelioma Trust Fund.

Conserved Vs. Universal Values?
oldrover replied to Qua-Brot's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
Another recent example on eBay: an ASM 1 Conserved 5.5 sold for $9750... a 5.5 blue label sold for $14,000. Definitely a better ratio than a purple would get. -
Conserved Vs. Universal Values?
oldrover replied to Qua-Brot's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
My recollection, based on GPA review (and experience), is that conserved books will sell for about 60-70% of Universal books, and that purple will sell for around 30-35%. Of course, it greatly depends on the grade, and the book. I had an Avengers 4 CGC 9.4, conserved (from the Nicolas Cage collection... don't know if that helps or hurts LOL). I believe the most recent sale on that book at the time (two years ago) was around $13,500. IIRC. My book sold for about $8500, again, IIRC. -
