Question about Restored Comics 0

[Vintage Comicz]

First time posting here newbie. However some key questions I was hoping some comic enthusiasts would help me with. Usually I buy graded books however I bought this book raw for a signing event. I was told it had no restoration and several people had vouched for the seller. Needless to say the book has been graded Signed Signature Series and label as B-1 for slight color touch.

So the first lesson I learned is buy a book already graded for a signing and have them crack it. The second is not to take ppls word even if they are reputable.

Now moving on I'd like to see about getting the color touch removed...if it can be. Since its signed signature my options are limited bc I don't wanna lose the yellow label. Is CCS able to do these type of things? If so what is the charge? Will I have to pay regrading fees?

Book comes in this week but I'll go ahead post pictures of the books from the signing event with close ups as well as the graded notes.

All help is appreciated!

It can be removed, but if this is for your personal collection then I would leave it alone. If you have never seen the process used to remove color touch, it can be somewhat shocking. Basically they scrap away the portion of the cover that had the color on it. Sometimes they go as far as cutting chunks of the cover out. It's an ugly process that basically mutilates the book so that you can avoid the "restored" label.

This is crazy to me, why would anyone prefer that a piece of the cover be missing over having some marker on it?
