yes the amount of damage done vs the amount of grade that would be left over is an issue. Also since the cover was cleaned I'm guessing you cant undo that.
If I had cgc do it would they let that cover cleaning slide?
Don't know - but you can ask CGC on these boards somewhere.

I disagree. I think what we have here goes beyond initials and stamps. Most concerning to me is the marker. It might get a 4.0 (I strongly doubt it), but I expect that potential buyers would not value it that high.
Structure aside, this is a low grade book. The good news is; lots of people like low grade books....and has the marker bled through?

If I had the restoration removed would a conserved possibly go for more?
You risk having damage done to the book.

You gotta go to Brimfield before you die. A week long extravaganza of flea markets. Probably the biggest in the country. I haven’t been since Covid but it used to be the place you walk around with your wallet in your hand.
If I'm walking with my wallet in my hand it usually means that I'm afraid I'm going to be pick pocketed

Another Buster Brown early platinum age
Do these collect the strips or do they contain brand new art?

Here's a strange thing I recently picked up. Someone took an oil can and made a lamp out of it. Some sources say that the Marvel Mystery Comics title was based on the oil can
So that's what my mother and father meant when they talked about oil lamps....

It seems odd that the consigner was a clearly a big fan (enough to go to the Marvel offices where they were given this), but was neither a big enough fan (nor sufficiently curious to investigate) to realize, in 50+ years, that the image was the basis for an image that has appeared countless times on all sorts of common spidey merchandise?
Neither was Josh at C-Link apparently...

Cor, that's lovely
I used to have a copy - here's a scan of the label I made for it:
I think I saw an additional three separate copies on my travels - two on eBay, and one at Heritage I think. So it doesn't crop up that often. There is a market for error copies like this and I sold mine for quite a bit more than the amount a standard copy would fetch at the time.
I would expect CGC to make a note of it, should you submit it, but I suspect you'd have to agree that with them first.
I've since graduated to this alternative pence copy. Issue #5 was clearly an error prone issue!
love how the seller purports to know that "there are only 4 or 5 of these misprints known to exist" - too funny.

It's going to be interesting to watch. In most cases I would agree that an "iconic" published page is king. In this case though we have an iconic non published piece by a comic art legend, drawing the most iconic hero in comic history (with no disrespect to Supes and Batman).
The quality, large drawn Spidey by Ditko....... published or not it's like finding an unbelievable treasure. The pin up I think matches or surpasses any page Ditko ever drew, and he displayed Amazing quality in his work in 1-37 and AF15.
...and don't forget the quality work in Annuals 1 & 2 ...

If Stan pulled the artwork from publication and (presumably) not submitted for CCA approval,, why would there be a stamp on the back?
I think that you've answered your own question.
If he had submitted it for CCA approval then there'd be a stamp on it, assuming of course that CCA hadn't refused approval. But given the content, I think that it's fair to assume that it was never submitted for CCA approval for whatever reasons and hence, no stamp.

Based on the inking, can anyone determine the year of the unpublished pinup? for example, is it possible that it was intended for publication as the ASM #3 pinup, but rejected for one reason or another? Or was this piece illustrated later, perhaps as a pinup for Annual #1?
I said a page back that I thought that it looked circa 1964. In fact, before your post above, my thoughts were that it looked circa SM Annual #1 ish. So I think that you're bang on.
But then again, my opinion and $8 will get you a cup of coffee at a specialty shop....

I’ll ask Ross or Josh on Monday or if they’re following this thread perhaps they’ll respond and add a scan of the back to the lot…
I suppose this would “add value” in a way to show this was intended to be published in the era. Thoughts? 🤔
Great idea. Please let us know the result.
"Added value"? Don't know if that could be quantified. The bottom line is that it wasn't published regardless of the intent.

I would think they would’ve highlighted and shown if it was stamped and cca approved on the back, that would be an interesting piece to the puzzle. But again, doubtful as I think Ditko was paid for it and it was then inventoried and eventually given away. 🤷♂️
You would think but you never know.
Even if they had wanted to publish it, Marvel might have wanted the CCA stamp...just to keep things on the up and up...
-
Annoying that there's no photo of the back of the art. I wonder whether the CCA approved it?
Judging by the image, I'd guess that it was done in 1964.
