Reattaching centerfolds, specifically.

4 posts in this topic

Hey guys, I tend to like the history side of comics and not as much into the marketplace, I have a 1942 book that doesn't have a high cash value, but it is an important book to me., and my priority is to preserve structural integrity when only minor restoration is need, so in this specific instance I have a single staple GA book with a detached centerfold. The tear is clean, I think I want the centerfold re-attached. I'm never going to sell this book, and its structure is more important to me than the stigma of being a "restored book."
So what do you guys suggest? Is this an easy enough endeavor that I should learn to reattach it myself, or who might be the best option for this specifically - don't care about pressing, cleaning, etc. I just want to the centerfold re-attached at a professional level, which I don't know what that involves, and what level of professional ability is needed?

If you feel adventurous, you can do it yourself and should you ever decide to get it slabbed or sold, it can be removed or given a “conservation” label

Be VERY conservative though when applying it, as if CGC thinks the size/amount of tape is too much you will get it marked as restored.
