Will it smear? Does it depend on the quality of the touch? Should I just not get them pressed?

Thank you all for he replies. I will not buy this item. So just so I understand, he buys books, trims them excessively, then resells them as high grade?

I do understand how that is annoying, but what is the issue as long as he clearly states it is restored? Is it because he is destroying a perfectly good book?

Thank you all for the reaponses! This is the book in question:

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/201775596396

I know a lot of you say that you should avoid resto or trim at all cost; but all books have a price. What do you think this book is worth, and what would you pay for it if you were me?

Hello all! I am new to comic collecting and investing. I have an opportunity to pick up a nice restored book, but have some questions before I purchase.

The book appears to be between an 8.0-9.0. There is color touch, trim, and a dab of glue on the spine.

1) does the glue on the spine hit the grade at all?

2) does the trim make it worth less? Some comic friends of mine dont like trim and they advised me to turn away. Does it really matter of its trimmed?

3) how much does a restored book go for? Half an unrestored? 20%? Does it depend on the book or level of resto?

Thank you for your time
