    completing a complete issue

    in Original Comic Art

    Posted

    It depends on the book and the price. Is the page $300 or $3000?
     

    Also, is the missing page the best page, the worst or somewhere in the middle?

     

    Most people break up complete issues because the parts are worth more than the whole, as most cannot afford the whole, or don’t want the whole. If your plan down the road is to break it up anyway, no need to buy it.

    West, have a majority of the 150 odd Overstreet Advisors influenced a change in the definition and classification of trimming?

    Reason I ask is that my current copy of the Overstreet Guide (2019-2020) continues to classify trimming as restoration:

    Restoration – Any attempt, whether professional or amateur, to enhance the appearance of an aging or damaged comic book using additive procedures. These procedures may include any or all of the following techniques: recoloring, adding missing paper, trimming, re-glossing, reinforcement, glue, etc...

    Trimmed – (1) A bindery process which separates top, right, and bottom of pages and cuts comic books to the proper size; (2) A repair process in which defects along the edges of a comic book are removed with the use of scissors, razor blades, and/or paper cutters. Comics books which have been repaired in this fashion are considered defective.

    I can't say as to who Overstreet took their definitions from. I can tell you trimming, on it's own, is not part of any restoration process.
