PGM Daredevil #1 (that is currently in a PGX Slab) *BACK FROM CGC UPDATE

[porky]

hmmm.. i have an idea. resto is only resto if 1) you can see it and 2) it improves the apparent grade of the book. why not get stan to sign (and maybe underline his name or something to cover all the CT) in something like gold or silver opaque pen over the offending area. if he completely covers any sharpie, that should turn the book blue and yellow at the same time?

 

any bleed through into the inner front cover would just be treated as damage, not resto since it's not improving the appearance of anything there.

That would be a good idea if I liked sigs across the front of books....but I don't. Now, if I decided to sell it though, that's an excellent idea. (or a good idea for whoever decided to take it off my hands.

I'd have it removed, and take the small downgrade. The comic is in a low enough grade, where even tiny holes won't be easily seen. AND, you'll get the blue label! This isn't a professional resto. It's some doofus with a marker defacing the book. Just my opinion, but my OCD would kill me, knowing that there were marks on a book like that. I'd stare at it, and go insane. I'd end up scratching it off with my nails. Taking it to Matt would be a better alternative.

Bah… I’m sure it has already been discussed a million times, but minor color touch shouldn’t be considered "restoration" at the same level of professional (or amateur) proper restoration. It still puzzles me.

 

This is my FF #3 in the VG range, which I "upgraded" and sold my slabbed 3.0 that I could not browse and read…

 

It has very minor color touch in the purple lettering blurb, but I couldn’t care less:

vail - where is the CT exactly? I am thinking below and to the left of the word "and" in the second to last line, but it is difficult to tell from a (for grading purposes) smaller scan.
