Gotham Kid Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yipes!! Love to know what this book was before it was reconstructed. This is key before jumping to conclusions. CGC 6.5 B-5 as a starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Collector Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Man what a pity this is happening to these historic books. But I guess they wouldn't keep doing it if there weren't a market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGC 6.5 B-5 as a starting point. Any idea what it was prior to its initial restoration? To hit 6.5 B-5, at best would be 1.0 Are you saying that in its original unrestored condition, this book must have been 1.0 or possibly even lower? Or are you saying that it must have been at least a 1.0 to start off and could have been anything up to its initial restored grade? As you can tell, I know absolutely nothing about CGC's new convoluted restoration rating system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess they wouldn't keep doing it if there weren't a market. yes its kind of sad. the same with books being disassembled sold one page at a time. i predicted this trend in 2009.

Knightsofold Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 So can "pieces added" mean 3/4+ a cover or page? I don't mind some restoration, but pieces added always seemed too vague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 But I guess they wouldn't keep doing it if there weren't a market. The impression I get are that these IGB/Voldy books are being forced upon the market, and perhaps with an exception or two, have woefully under-performed.

jgallo Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 So can "pieces added" mean 3/4+ a cover or page? I don't mind some restoration, but pieces added always seemed too vague. No your not going to see a book with 3/4 of the cover replaced. Generally pieces added can include chips at the edges and at the spine. I do not know at what point another notation would be used but I would say if 1/4 of the cover was replaced, say a logo it would be noted differently and not just pieces added but more of logo replaced of 1/4 cover replaced/married something along those lines. I don't think you would see anything bigger then say a business card type size included under pieces added but it can vary from book to book.

Larryw7 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 But these IGB books almost seem like recreations. I'm wary of them(of course, most of the books they work on are out of my league anyway) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
