    Yes, he is incorrect. Let's pretend you have a Universal comic that would grade 3.5 with no work done. Now, let's say you had a professional use conservation to seal tears, etc. It would no longer be a 3.5 - let's pretend it grades 4.5 after the work is done. The same goes for restoration. You could take an 8.0 Universal up to a 9.4 Restored if you just needed color touch to fill in ink rub, color loss, etc. The grade is as the comic currently is. If you remove conservation and/or restoration, the grade will certainly be lower. I think Tony S is confusing this situation with the general difference between Universal and Qualified. Qualified exists to tell the consumer, "what this book looks like without this particular large flaw that does not effect story".

    If he had a legit 9.8 contender, and was looking to sell, my opinion would differ. As far as a sight-unseen Modern, and looking to "display"? I don't see the point in sending it to FL for a year when you can just get a good bag+board.

    It's a bad joke.
  15. theCapraAegagrus
    That's true. You can display a comic with a bag and board, though. I personally don't think many, if any, Moderns are worth slabbing unless they're witnessed being signed.
  16. theCapraAegagrus
    That'd be extremely unfortunate.

    I got my Death of Superman and Final Crisis omnibuses last week. All I can say is that I severely underestimated exactly how large they are.

    What is your motivation for slabbing it? Just because other people said so...?

    Would you say... Facts don't care about feelings?

    TBH your question was posed in a confusing manner. The actual answer is: No. I must have misread your question as; "The grade would be the same in Universal as if nothing special was performed?" The grade is just the grade as-is, though. Conservation simply consists of techniques that aren't restorative. The methods simply intend to conserve current/best condition. Hope that's more helpful lol.
