    Early in the year I challenged my daughter ( a freshman at Pratt Art Institute) to make me a Christmas present in the style of Moebius. I tweeted Moebius art all year long and today she gave me this...

    Really awesome! Beautiful colors and details and so cool it was done by your daughter.

    That's an amazing piece of history that shows the love the original owner had for it.  The "my favorite" written above Doc Ock's head says it all, never mind the staples and tape that were added to keep it together.  If all this wear comes from your dad from when he was a kid, that's probably a great piece of nostalgia with sentimental value potentially outweighing market value.  I'm with those who say to keep it raw - if it's a piece of memorabilia from your dad's childhood, it may well be worth keeping for that meaning alone.
