Worst condition books!

[tortoise]

this is my favorite book in my collection

beat to hell but beautiful to me

 

Have you considered searching out a really nice condition copy and getting it slabbed? If it's your favourite book then that could be something to think about perhaps. Then you've got the best of both worlds.

 

I might upgrade to a 2.0, but i really have no desire to get anything higher.

and I don't like slabs, I crack slabs as soon as I buy em

 

Something to consider on this book is a restoration job...I might be worth your time to check into this... (thumbs u

 

I have no desire to restore it.

I'm perfectly happy w/it the way it is, and would only upgrade if the right book came along at the right price

 

Not putting this book down...it's a gem. (thumbs u .

 

I don't know how much money you have tied up into this book...

However...if it's around $1000.00..you could possibly spend another $1000.00 or so on resto...and make this a 7.0 or better copy...(help me if i am wrong..on these costs someone)....resell for about $3000.00 and then purchase a 4.0-4.5 copy...and maybe have $500.00 in your pocket...

 

This is one of those books that is a perfect book for restoration work in my opinion...any one else have thoughts?

 

What do the rest of you think?? Good for resto work...or not?

 

I'm sure it is a good resto candidate. I just like it as is. If I were to spend a grand on resto, I'd likely keep it as opposed to selling it and buying a 4.0. I could always just sell it for what I paid($800) and save up a grand and buy a 3.0

Nope. It was a NM book that took a bath at some point. It has wrinkles and stains that don't show up on the cover. Best looking VG- of all time. Still has nice paper, no rust on the staples, etc...

You can just flip through the pages of a comic, you don't need to rip them out.

Previous threads about low-graders have produced examples beyond anything seen here so far. Where's the Hulk #2 with a 5" rat chew, or the FF #2 that was practically torn in half?

Not sure if that Hulk book is owned by anyone on the Boards.

I've had this one so long I can't remember where I got it. It must have been in a batch of something.
