ASM 1 Smiley Face

I have an opportunity to buy a 2.0 copy of ASM 1. The major defect is what looks like a tape pull that has removed Mr. Fantastic's face from the cover. At some point a kid redrew the face and shoulders with a pen. I am wondering if CGC would treat this as ink on the cover (blue label) or as restoration (purple label).

 

Any insights would be appreciated.

 

Thx, Mike

Call and ask them. That's a tough one, but if I had to bet without knowing, my bet would be that they'd call it amateur color touch.

Agreed, that is a tough call. Let us know how it turns out.

Best advice is to call, but my guess would be that random graffiti is treated exactly as what it is - there has been no attempt to restore the book to it's original state, amateur or otherwise. Like when Spidey has his eyes colored in on an AF 15 = Blue Label.

I agree it is a tough call and a call to CGC is in order. But I think Scott is thinking along the same lines as me. If the face has been - well - defaced by tape and an effort to "redraw" it is done, even by a kid, well - that could, at least technically, qualify as Amateur recreation of the face - aka color touch.

I agree, it is a tough one, but since so much art was attempted to be re created I imagine it would get a Slight A label.
