It’s otherwise untouched for me I don’t care if it’s in a purple or conserved case , Until it comes time to sell it because a Conserved copy will sell for much much more than the exact same book if it's residing in a Restored PLOD slab. On 10/11/2020 at 7:28 AM, Drgoldage said: True conserved would be better for resale and I’ve considered that but reluctant . My initial conversation with Cgc was that they would never change a restored Label to conserved if the book had been cleaned chemically ( the only thing done to this book ,in a ill advised attempt to remove a slight sun shadow on right edge ). When did you have this initial conversation with the people at CGC as the serial number indicates the book was graded back in 2009? Just wondering if you are aware that CGC has made significant changes to their Restoration Grading Scale and it seems it's never a good idea to say "never". From their changes back in 2014, it would appear that Cleaning (both water and solvent) have now moved out of the much dreaded PLOD category into the more buyer friendly Conserved category: https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/4084/ Conservation Repairs Conservation repairs are performed with the intent of preserving the structural or chemical integrity of a comic book using professional techniques and materials. It excludes aesthetic repairs such as color touch and piece fill. All conserved grades must satisfy the CGC quality scale of "A" and quantity scale of "1". Tear seals Spine split seals Reinforcement Piece reattachment Some cover or interior cleaning (water or solvent) Staples cleaned or replaced Some leaf casting De-acidification Then again, they also talk about cover and interior cleaning in their Restoration categories up above at the same time. So, who really knows for sure, certainly NOT CGC. Chicago Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drgoldage Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hi I called and talked to CGC if memory serves about 4 years ago about the Denver copy of Batman 1. I will make a point of discussing it with CGC if the book would still be considered restored by current standards. Thank you for updating me .

Professor K Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) A cgc 3.5 just hit ebay. It was the most recent listing as I write this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Batman-1-CGC-3-5-DC-Comics-1940-1st-Appearance-of-Joker-Cat-Woman-0914179001/203296616135?hash=item2f556c2ec7%3Ag%3A12AAAOSwwUdgQdQT&LH_All=1 I doubt it will sell for what he/she's asking.

Yes, with the Slightly Brittle PQ designation, there's absolutely no way it will get anywhere close to what they are asking for the book.

lhcomics Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Well I've waited a long time to see a nice looking Bat 1 .5 missing back cover come to auction. Now I'll get to see what the value of mine is when I sell it in 10 years. Heritage copy on top and mine on bottom. Pretty much apples to apples comparison.

The last .5 I can recall that was exactly like this one and came to auction sold for I think like $22K. Want to say it was a Heritage auction 2-3 years ago. So yeah will be interesting to see where this one finishes. Edited March 13, 2021 by LDarkseid1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
