  1. Of course. The rust gets worse thus the contrast to the paper makes the pages seem more white. We should all strive to collect rusty staple books and just hold onto them until it’s time to regrade for an upgrade in page quality.
  2. I think the easiest and most likely explanation is it was designed to have the dot in the wrong place as the house add shows and at some point during printing the dot broke off the plate and was not replaced. The dot was clearly meant to be in the spot it was in as proof by the house add.
  3. Very likely my last pickup of 2023. For 2024 hopefully a restored Superman 1 🤞
  4. I’m happy with the stigma for my personal collection. Would much rather have a nicely presenting restored book than a ratty looking blue label and the restored book still goes for far, far less. Even though the restored book started out as a much nicer book to begin with almost all of the time.
  5. Upgraded my Bat 1. New book has no autograph and more resto but the work is amazing. New pic of my rogues gallery coming soon.
  6. I’d personally rather the trimmed page than the brittle page but it is close..
  7. Wow. That price is nuts. Brittle to boot. Rather spend a little more and hunt for a coverless copy.
  8. It’s not a prime page but happy I picked up my junky copy of page 2
  9. That is a good looking 5.5 and well done restoration without rusty staples. Guess it depends how much you want to spend but a far superior book imho.
  10. C restoration so hard to guess. C can be pretty poor work but I’d guess $50kish? There’s a 15% added charge also at the end for that one. So maybe the bidder doesn’t see it and it goes for more?
  11. Dang. Then even though he didn’t pay market price it really still stinks for the OP. That’s a find of a lifetime for someone so it’s still as if he got scammed as he thought he found it.
  12. I think he’s saying the poster is likely the scammer and this guy is really good. Fishing to get suckers to offer him $$ in PMs. Dangerous time to be collecting comics with whoever this scammer is on the loose.
