RPHjr7 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The only concern I have is, back of the comic someone stamped “June 13” on the top center above “diamond hunting”... does that matter since it is a old comic? Thank you so much for any feedback! Galen130 and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thank you sooo much for your reply! I’m happy to hear the stamp does not effect the value too much! I’m happy with this purchase, I will definitely be getting it graded. I picked it up for $190. When it is graded I will post again for sure, the way things are it might take months... the virus is sure pushing everything back, plus the in-house signatures pushing everything. But when I get it back I will definitely let you know! Thank you again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so you mean 8.5 without all the shadows? So 8.0 because it has shadows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And are there any natural restorations services through CGC that I should consider to try to get a better grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get your books cleaned and pressed from CGC before grading. Otherwise you can opt for members here who provide pressing services but faster turnaround times. And then submit to CGC.

Found it at a local comic shop.. I over heard the shop owner saying it was a very nice piece, to someone else in the store. Next day I bought it 😂 took a risk, looks like it will pay off. Was kinda worried at first when I seen the stamp. Thank you for your reply!! When I get it graded I will definitely post it on here again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t really want to spend the restoration money if it’s not worth it. What’s your opinion? Thank you for the reply Most books will get hammered for dust shadows, however, some pedigree related books or "rare" keys can sometimes receive a "gift" grade under the right circumstances. You can just about restore anything these days with chemicals and various other modalities but that does not mean it's worth investing the time and expense.

Thank you for the reply My opinion...the book is probably between a 7.5-8.0 with or without the dust shadow and not worth restoring. Enjoy it as is.
