If you scroll down midway through the page you'll see descriptions for how restored books are graded/scaled! https://www.cgccomics.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=4083& zipbags 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipbags Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) Well after a week to get there (registered mail takes forever). My book has arrived for walkthrough grading. Hoping to have the grade by tomorrow. Will let you all know. On a side not a 4.5 (C-1 restored) copy just sold on Heritage Auctions for over $2,600. Gives me hope that if mine is restored and is a 7.0. I will still get a high price for it. Edited February 12, 2018 by zipbags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the stuff we were concerned about (married cover etc) didn't pan out, so that's great to hear. Congrats! DR.X and zipbags 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nicer than a 6.0 to tell you honestly That is what I thought. I am not upset about the restoration score...But the 6.0 seems low. Especially when I saw another 6.0 that had "staining" on it.

Dark Knight Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Staining can be acceptable even up to as high as an 8.0 depending on the size. Had a book that was graded as an 8.0 with a circular small drop of stain on the spine area of the cover. zipbags 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I think that 6.0 is fine for the book. There were enough surface bends/NCBs/indents to drop it. Pressing it would have resulted in a higher grade as some of the more noticeable issues could have been corrected. In any case, congrats. It is still a sweet book to own.
