    asm 100 for you judgement.

    PGM Here are some photos of ASM # 100 anniversary issue 1972. In Raw condition. Interior of front page is provided to disclose any attempts to touch up. Consider that the book was printed in 72 with a total black background on the front. Either very good ink or very good care? thanks guys. Shall I get this graded or not?

    Just wondering what to do. this book seems to be a 9.0 I know that a scan would be better but im not sure how to find the html or img so i have taken a pic from my camera phone. The book has a qualified defect in that the front page binding error has wrapped the 12 cent cover price half way around the spine. Anyway her is my attempt to upload do you think it's worth getting "slabbed" and if so what do you think it might come back as??? IMG2070117_135744-1.jpg Thanks

    I use an Hp all In One does a great job. The problem is that sometimes the scanned image shows some "ghosting" of the print text on the back side of the front cover which in clear white areas of the actual front cover art looks like dirt blemished.

    Nice to see there is another Professional conservator. Im a specialized water gilder working for Getty and a lab here in Santa Barbara. I have to say though I did not receive a warm welcome
  15. gabby 123
    Thanks for that. Remarkable knowledge. Im sure that the other conservators might know that but I really am impressed. thanks

    But I guess in the process of removing the toxic lead pencil marking one might erase a "p"pedigree or other data? Just don't know.

    Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I was also thinking about "lead abatement" on books where old lead pencils have been used . Pure lead based pecils closely mimic grease pencils in feel and performance if you touch the lead it smudges on your fingers and modern pencils do not do that, with the exception of some specialized pencils .Is it unethical to PROPERLY and i mean PROPERLY remove this hazard from books? I don't know it's a way out there question and i don't mean to split hairs or turn over the rocks or put a twist on the idea take what you can use from this and leave the rest. All the Best, Namaste Kbron
