    I’m still around. And, hoping to get back to a show in the UK soon.

    Why should this thread be any different?

    Always double or triple board. Even if dropped it will minimize damage considerably.

    if still available.

    where do you live in florida?

    Do your research.

    Probably a few minutes after the restoration check is done. It’s not how fast they grade the book, it is how many books are ahead of yours. Based on their current workload, my guess is a lot.

    I wonder if CCS would even take on a book like this.

    Some cleaning is now considered "conserved".
  11. joeypost
    I say try it and let us know.

    I can see the benefit to this if you are keeping your books raw, but if you are grading them, your time and money would be better spent elsewhere.

    LOL. Possibly, but under a roof.

    This picture is fairly accurate.

    You also have to factor in inventory. It’s not that simple. And because someone else does it,doesn’t always mean it’s legal or ethical.

    The inner well will flatten the pages, so you won’t see it through the slab. in my experience it is when the outside corners curl up and create a slight “fanning” to the pages.

    Did you mark the box as "walk-thru"?

    Hopefully they open the border before this show.

    Where is the picture of the book posted?

    Heavy tanning will get hammered. Even light tanning takes a significant hit.

    4.5/5.0

    Unless you are positive it was pressed (I see too many issues with the book to indicate that it was pressed correctly) Someone could have tacked that portion of the spine to seal the split. Just too much bleed through to make me think it was done with a straight press.

    I have one of these. I need to dig it out.

    CGC has their methods, which I am sure will never be published. All I can say is most books I work in I can tell the ones that have been washed (both chemically and with just water). I have no formal training and can determine that a book has been washed, CGC restoration experts will have no trouble.

    That's insane for a 9.6. I paid $1,000.00 for my 9.8 a few years ago.
