    Here’s my take on transactions that take place on or off ebay. If it turns into a hassle, it’s a no-go. If it’s too good to be true , it’s a no-go.

    Yea. I wouldn’t recommend any of that.

    What you see is an example of spine roll. It can be repaired without any restoration being done to the book.

    Depending on what is used, all color touch does not bleed through. Without having the book in hand it might be a tear seal that was glued and colored in using crayon. That would be why there is no bleed through but the paper is darker on the inside of the cover in the affected area.

    There are commercial chemicals available to remove rust, but I am sure they would do much more damage to the paper’s integrity if used on comics. I may have to do a long term study on their affects.

    Gently using a brush with some stiffer bristles can remove a lot of the loose rust that accumulates in the paper and near the staple. While it won’t eliminate the rust, it will improve the look of the book, if all you care about is presentation.

    I see this often on books from this era. I wouldn’t be too worried about it.

    I have been doing this a long time and have seen pretty much every defect a book can have.

    This is caused by improper storage and will get dinged a grade or two.

    If pressed and cleaned properly, it might have a shot at 9.8.

    Well said Bob.

    For arguments sake, if you remove money from the equation, what’s left? All I see is reputation. Since that has also gone “poof” what other incentive is there?
