And they do appear to have precisely the same imperfection marks to make them as the same book, such as the color breaking stress line to the left of the '1' in the price circle.

peewee22 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Nice book. Is that a dust shadow on back on the left outside strip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badback83 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Seems like a good price. I just saw two 1.0 copies sold for 5040 and 5520. Seems like pretty strong results to me. comicdonna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A prime example of a book that presents well. KirbyJack and RetiredOldMan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never thought twice about picking up a book that had the pence price printed on it. Same original print run and more scarce 👍 RetiredOldMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scans for these kinds of books are so convincing -- unless of course you want to say that they're unconvincing by being simply too good to be true. I can't even pick out color touch in most scans ... and whenever I look at a restored book with notes saying that whole pieces have been added, I struggle to see where the "seams" are. I would love to know (or better yet, see) what condition this apparent 9.8 would have been in before the restoration. Can anyone point me to photos or a video detailing the process? I'm so curious to see how this is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
