    DougC, thanks for the feedback and that very helpful information about the "exceptional white" context. Very reassuring. Any thoughts on the idea of regrading with CGC? The idea of losing the "exceptional white" designation from CBCS is not appealing, but if it's not something people really care much about or ever caught on then perhaps not such an issue...?

    I'm looking at a 60 yo book that is higher grade by CBCS which has "exceptional white" on the case for the pages. The seller indicated they have no knowledge of any restoration but I'm not clear if CBCS would definitely notes this as CGC appears to do, at least nowadays. I'm thinking of having it regraded by CGC because prices generally seem higher for comparable books, but concerned it might have been restored in some way and then I get a purple label from CGC which, of course, nullifies (or worse) any potential benefit of having CGC grading. Don't want to start any conflict or discussion over CGC vs CBCS, but just wondering how folks might approach given the info above... Would you be concerned about restoration given exceptional white pages? Does idea of regrading by CGC seem too risky? Thanks in advance.
