Wow, looks amazing! I’m so glad you made the decision to send it in, I’m sure the wait to get it back was long.  Very happy for you to get the conserved grade too instead of restored.  This was originally a green label 2.0 correct? I think it was greatly improved.

it was a cgc 1.5 qualified. Because the cover was detached from the book the cover began to slide down inside the cgc case. To protect it and to help Roy Thomas I decided to crack the book from the case.

CCS spoke with me both through email and on the phone once.

They recommended I send them the book and they would review it.

I sent the book in, they had it a short while and contacted me via email.

It was their recommendation that the book be conserved and provided a detailed list of what things would be done.( see grades notes above).

Conserved is the only option that was given at that time and having zero experience restoring a book (this is my first) I choose to have them proceed.

I was told it would be leaf cast to create a spine to attach the cover to the book. 2 interior center wraps detached from the staples. I actually caused this when I completed detailed scans of the book for Roy Thomas of PS Artbooks so they could release the Planet Comic Compendiums. Laying the book flat and open for scanning popped the 2 interior wraps off the staples. These were leaf cast to repair.

They told me they would give the book a cleaning to remove staining and that it might remove some of the interior water stains. The interior has a very severe water stain that affected the entire interior pages.

Staples were rusted and they told me they could be cleaned to remove the rust (not replaced).

End result is conserved label.

If anyone has anymore questions or want to see any other scans of the book pre conservation just ask I have all the images.

Thanks for the thorough play-by-play, Karl. Very informative indeed!

Did anyone see the Planet 27 on eBay tonight (it only had 80+) watchers) an Okajima 5.5 went for over $5300.00 I thought I had put in an insane bid, but I was way off;) 

Big congrats to the winner of a historic Planet.

my Planet Comics quest to own 1 of each pedigree took another set back. I did bid and felt I bid strong but alas I was blown away.

I love the history of Okajimas but that's silly money for a 5.5. Sorry you didn't get it, but it could well have sold for more as the winner had stacked bids on it. (shrug)

And now for something slightly different. . .

ive seen the occasional post where people list their favorite covers. From what I have seen, most people’s lists are very different from the next guy’s list. I myself prefer the covers of issues in the 60s and 70s, so the current Heritage weekly auction is giving me additional insights into which issues people like the best. As you know, Heritage tells us the number of “watchers”, which I find quite instructive. Of course the high bid is the best measure of a books relative value, but I figure if someone has it on their “watch” list, they are a fan even if they don’t bid . . .

This has always confused me. There is supposed to be Baker art in here. Is one of these names a pseudonym?
