    A little over a year ago I asked the community about the extra staple and tape residue on this potential purchase in regards to restoration. Mixed reactions given: remove it / don't remove it. Well I finally bought the book and would love the opinion of the community on the grade. Book is complete, an extra staple (rusted) added at the bottom left because of a 1-2 cm spine split. There's tape residue on both bottom corners. Lower right edge missing a small piece. The tape on left edge wraps around to back cover. Also, the "S" in fantastic has scratched off ink. On the back cover, there is a tear on the mid outer edge. Tons of color breaks along the spine. So, what does the community think would be the grade if I sent it in as is? Thanks in advance everyone

    Just picked up another goodie from my LCS. The color breaking damage at the top left corner hurts. So, let's talk about that eye sore of a brown bottom the book has. How much of an impact does that type of defect have on the grade? I have quite a few books with that issue. Thanks in advance for any and all input

    Here it is! The book that i never thought I would own because I was always looking for the perfect deal that would never come. Book looks really nice from afar, and then you see the flaws up close. The book has a weird ink stain on the lower outer edge the runs the entire book. Then there is what appears to be a sharpie spot on a few of the pages almost as it someone wanted to remember their place for later reading? Finally the book itself seems to have had water damage of some sort because the whole book feels wavy and makes a crackling sound as you turn the pages. No visible water damage though. With a clean and press, what grade am I looking at for this book? Thank you all in advance for the inputs

    Im considering picking up this 1st app dr. Doom but not well educated on restoration and how cgc would be able to deal with this stuff. The book is overall solid until we get to the extra (rusted) bottom staple and the weird tape looking residue on both bottom corners. The "tape" feels grainy almost so that might be the leftover residue and not actual tape. Ultimately I would like a blue label. What are the chances of that happening? Or is this a surebet purple maybe even green? Any and all opinions are appreciated. Thank you

    I have an ASM 50 with staining that goes almost all the way through to the last page on the bottom right corner. It gets lighter as it goes closer to the middle of book then heavy again as it goes through the end of book. Presents ok as long as you don't open the book. Lol but smh How bad of a hit would the book take if graded? Is there a rule of thumb like "deduct x amount of points for this type of damage"? Thanks in advance for the input

    Very excited to add this to the collection. Got some problems though. Mainly the tan line on the top of back cover and the one page that has a horrible fold at the top corner and heavy fading/discoloration on hawkgirls face. What grade say you all? Can that one page be pressed out to eliminate the fold? Thanks in advance

    Yeah, thats all I can afford. Lol Maybe at some point I can upgrade but for now, ill take what I can get

    Is it possible to remove some of the stains ( like the spots on the bottom) with a clean and press service? I have no clue of these things so any advice is appreciated

    Multiple people have said how filthy this book looks. I need to get better at my book purchases apparently, but smh!😅

    Thats a good thing. CGC will probably be harsh too. Thank you for your input. Ouch. I appreciate the honesty. Lol I was trying to jump on before kang appeared and the prices got stupid. Ill take a 3.5 if possible. Thanks for your input.

    Picked this guy up recently. Has some really filthy stain spots on the bottom front not sure what that is. Some sun tanning on the left side of cover. And there is some chipping on the top of the cover. Let me know what you guys think. How good a grade are we guessing before I send her in? I plan on pressing as well. Hopefully, that doesn't make the chipping worse. Thanks in advance!

    Just picked this bad boy up and wondering what you guys think. The split at the bottom end of the spine certainly hurts it. With that said, how low would that type of damage do against the book?
