Paul J A Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Bone 3, 1st print. I didn't know I had it. Bone sat in a crammed in a long box, unbagged and unboarded, for 30 years and was recently discovered. It's nobody's fault but mine. Is a restoration possible for the color break on the crease? Thank you for your time and evaluation. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Ries Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 As it sits, it's probably 7.5-8.0. A press might help it get to solid 8.0 but that color breaking corner fold will keep it held there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Restoration is always "possible". 7.0 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J A Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Ok, thanks for the grades. I'm surprised at the 7-8 range. I had given it a 5.5 with the color-breaking crease, which made me think about a color touch-up resto. A possible 8 with a press makes it worth slabbing. Thanks again.
