Dark Knight Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Yeah that's great too, but I would prefer a different colored label to distinguish the two quicker especially when going through a variety of slabs at a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Aha, so I was correct with regards to the color touch removal (which I can see the amateur work done in the red area bottom right edge) and the piece off back was removed. Whoever had the work done and sold it in MCS profited handsomly. Gotham Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatCaesarsGhost Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) That is absolutely, 100% the same book. It’s gone from a CBCS restored label to a CGC blue label, and now it’s back in a CBCS label, but this time it’s blue. I absolutely agonized about buying this from mycomicshop. I’m so glad I didn’t. Here is the most current incarnation Edited May 28, 2020 by GreatCaesarsGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatCaesarsGhost Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) I understand mechanically removing color touch and the added pieces. Can the reinforcement and cover cleaning also be reversed? Is this really unrestored as it sits today?

This may be the first I've seen. Usually cover cleaned books are irreversible, unless it was dry cleaned but the label didn't state that. Reinforcement to my knowledge would be a problem to remove because the cover could be loose or possibly detached. It was gutsy for the person who did the resto. removal, and if it were me, I'd leave it alone. But anyways, there is a bad stigma with this book now that the full history is shown.

I think any cleaning on a third party label would refer to a solvent clean as opposed to a dry clean. That said, knowing a book was disassembled, cover removed from interior, staples taken out in order to solvent clean the cover makes me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe CBCS thought it was cleaned where in fact it wasn't? It just doesn't make sense how a cleaned cover can be reversed. If it were dry cleaned let's say, the note on "cover cleaned" shouldn't be on the label. Larryw7 and Primetime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, definitely agree with both of you in terms of the reversing the solvent cleaning along with the cover & centerfold reinforcement.
