Thanks guys for the great comments guys heres the description the seller had put down when it was up for grabs.Restoration includes pieces added and color touch. The work is incredibly subtle, especially the ct. The original dealer believed the work done at the Comics Restoration Lab but, sadly, did not have the cert.

D84 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Latest Batman pickup. It presents well for the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Latest Batman pickup. It presents well for the grade. It sure does (nice PQ, too) - if you're not planning on cracking it out, a detached cover is not that big a deal from a presentation standpoint.
