LOCKED - OP request - Why not pimp my Graail book?
Coverdeath replied to Coverdeath 's topic in Comics General
Thanks. -
Ok, here I have to explain few things... back 8 or 9 months ago after collecting for 2 years I bought my Graail... A book I never tought I could have a day when I started... however after acquiring it, it quickly turned to the problems... my ocd's catched me like they do for everything in my life... and i was confronted to a lot of stressed because the condition of the book was not satisfying to my eyes... I tought to sell it for a long time and put it for sell many times trough the forum and elsewhere and then delete the announce and then make the announce again... I tought to buy a new copy and finally a month ago I bought a coverless described in great condition, after got It was disappointed... the first time I been literally scammed... the book was restored with many pages where tears were sealed, they were some water damages and some heavy fold... I quickly sent it back! I know that finding a nice coverless copy will be hard and the price we offer me for my copy who still have the cover are just so bad... so I'm tired... The inside of my book is really good except one point, one deadly point which is terrible when you have ocd's some corner had few tears and I cutted them but now it just look worse because they are badly cutted because I cutted many pages at a time... But now I have 2 possibilities to save it! I can cut the corner page by page properly (however its only from page 9 to 18 and its feel weird to me) so i could cut every pages? I put a piece of corner to have a visual exemple of how it will looks then if i do... So here is the first option, having the corner like this, properly cutted... Or the second option! Stick some corner piece on the pages! If I just stick some random paper it will be visible and just gonna look bad... So I tought to something why not make a customed book? It s my graail so I could make it look special anyway... My idea was to stick some corner painted in gold or silver. What is your tought? Yes my mental condition is severe but it's not the question here, the question is which option do you prefer? Cutted straight corner or Golden/Silver corner? Thanks for the read. Jeremy

Adding paper on cutted corner
Coverdeath replied to Coverdeath 's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
Anyway I m looking to work on it by myself, I need to find a way to add paper on the book and make it looking not too bad... I m gonna train on cheap book, I m searching about sticking option, rice paper could be the thing, I don't have really a good idea of all this for the moment... -

Wtf? I heard about 200 everywhere, would you tell me that is the price per page? Just for stupid inch of corner with nothing printed on? -
The DC horror titles are clearly not the cheapest books, and some great names of the industry worked a lot on them trough the 70s, I firstly think to Neal Adams and Bernie Writghson... Are you merely buying for the cover art or the story are funs and good to read? I have the feeling that the way they were drawing in the 70's was not really horrific as contrary as what been made during the pre code era... !!! MAYBE IM WRONG !!! so I don't know if it's really enjoyable to read an horror comics which is not essentially "scary".

Adding paper on cutted corner
Coverdeath replied to Coverdeath 's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
It is... I consider the option to restore it and keep it for me. The book is in really low grade and I'm afraid that I will not get so much benefits in the process of selling it and buy then a coverless... especially considering my ocds it will be hard to find a satisfying copy To be totally honnest I found and bought a coverless copy just 2 weeks ago and received it yesterday... its the first time in 2 years of purchases trough ebay that I been scammed the books was described as having nice pages, a clean copy... reality is: water damage... tears on many pages which have been glued, big fold on splash page... the book will be returned as soon as possible... I will never bought again to a seller with hundreds of negative feedbacks, I was not really smart this time. -

Adding paper on cutted corner
Coverdeath replied to Coverdeath 's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
It's affecting several pages... so my idea was to use paper from any other random comics from the same age to replace the corners. An idea of how much they could ask for "leaf casting operation"? -
