I have a few orders that have been paid for, but still show they are in the quality control stage, just wondering if anyone would have an idea when I would be able to see what it was graded. Thanks

I’m curious to see how color rub on a cover impacts a book that is otherwise a solid 9.8 Candidate. The color rub in the pictures is very minimal, how much do you think this would knock down a 9.8? The books have no other issues.

Thanks for the insight! It’s not a super expensive copy, but it’s a mid grade ff49. So there might be some incentive, not a much though. I’m always worried about unseen resto when I make a purchase over a couple of hundred dollars-have been burned once, and it sucks

Here are some pics for context, tried to get the angle you needed.

Thanks for the insight. Married couples and swapped staples are always hard for me to identify. That being said, since the bottom one looks good-I am going to hope the top one is legit, but we will see after I get it graded

So, now I’m a little worried I don’t think it’s a rip, but I’m always cautious about resto work…tell me what ya think from the pics.

It was. Although it looks like sharpie, or pen, not really covering up anything even though it’s over two color breaks.

Thanks for the info, but the spine is white, and I checked just to be sure, and it has nothing.

Didn’t think of that..I’ll check. The notes say color touch on the front cover-is that normally just a generic statement?

Gotcha. I was referencing other pics, and didn’t see it in any other copies. Thanks for the info!

Picked up a copy of Hulk 180, that was already graded, and had a restored label. Was looking to remove the restoration, just for the experience-I haven’t had any restored books before. however, the “restoration” looks like a kid just drew a little on the cover in some small spots-not to hide any flaws. Can someone help me figure out if this can be removed, or if it even really is restoration? *note the green spots on the woman’s hair at the bottom
