I've had books with minor amateur resto grade at 9.0. Page 234 of the 2016 edition. They don't write this comment about minor amateur repair in the grades above 5.0. So I assumed that 4.5 is the maximum grade for a comic that shows this kind of default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But keep in mind, Overstreet has only one series of grades. CGC has multiple: Universal, Restored, Qualified, Conserved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wipple Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Update. I bought the book. Clearly pieces added and was told sent to Anthony’s restoration 20 plus years ago. Not sure what I am going to do. A friend wants the book as is , because it makes it affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a collector if they get it at a price they're happy with and don't plan on slabbing it, then that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 It is a nice copy. Was the book complete besides the back cover? I would try to find an incomplete book or proper back cover and have a pro perform some surgery. Congratulations on the pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
