Mucheee1 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I didn't know there was a JIM thread, so cool. I've been collecting this title for quite some time, but these I picked up over the last year. bc, KirbyJack and alexgross.com 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

427Impaler Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Here is one of the nicer 3.0 books you will see. It was a solid upper mid grade until we discovered it had color touch, off to CCS for the obvious adjustments. Nice white pages and great presentation for the grade alexgross.com, KirbyJack, bc and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice white pages and great presentation for the grade I'm curious what it looked like as a 'solid upper mid grade' with the CT. If the large piece missing on the bottom right was there, it would have been more like upper low grade territory. I hope that bottom right was not part of the CT scrape ?

Straw-Man Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 not a run i've re-pursued since selling it years ago, but i've always loved the first two annuals--those i regrabbed. Mucheee1, KirbyJack and bc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom corner is still there, just scraped to the paper. Colour touch was bottom right and all along the spine. Removal resulted in a 1/2 spine split that really smashed the grade.

If it required that much scraping it should have been left alone. I'm disappointed CCS even did the work. Years ago, Matt would have turned down work like this. Maybe it's not his call anymore. This is not returning the book to an original state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not returning the book to an original state. I don’t disagree with you. Initially the book was noted as “slight colour touch”. I expected what can be seen at the spine but not the huge color loss on the corner. Had I known or been informed of the outcome I likely would have passed on the work and enjoyed the book as-is. This one book taught me a couple valuable leasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear, in hindsight, you would have preferred to keep it as is. It looked really nice. Also, from a valuation standpoint, I would think you lost ?

Hard to say but I think it is likely a wash value wise based on purple vs lower grade blue. As far as aesthics I would have taken the before book and lived with the slight colour touch designation. I will be keeping an eye out for an upgrade that’s for sure. Also going forward I will be a LOT more cautious when it comes to buying raw keys.

Popular Post Dick Pontoon Posted April 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2019 Welp, when this JIM #93 arrived yesterday, I completed my JIM Thor run. I would like to upgrade a number of issues, though. Took me a while to find a decent copy in this range, seems scarcer than the surrounding issues. (Are people holding onto it hoping the Radioactive Man turns up in the MCU?) This also almost completes my #50-125 run; i think #64 is the only one left i need.
