If you little people had handled as many copies of Action 1 as Vinnie has, you'd be casual about it too! 

I don’t even treat my Strawberry Shortcakes that way !

so what's the over under on the Action 1 being a restored copy??

[adamstrange]

I was expecting a restored, raw Action 1 to show up at either Heritage or C-connect.  Most likely, the one we are discussing is that book.

I'm always confused in these kinds of situations as to which is the correct answer.  If I say I'm sure it's a restored copy, does that mean I'm taking the "over" or the "under"?

Honestly, beats me too!  But I do think it’s restored by virtue of no salesmanship for the book.  That would not be possible if it was a HG unrestored copy in that apparent condition. We’d be getting a torrent of Metro pumping. As would any auction house.

Which would explain Vinnie's casual handling of the book.  I mean, if it's already restored and gets a little more damage, what's a little more restoration between friends?

No biggie, that’s what pressing is for. Seen one Action 1 you seen ‘em all…

And here's the answer

Vinnie looks pretty good for an oldish young man... better than the Action 1!
