PGM: Adventure Comics 247

[Saint_Doyle]

The front cover is missing a few chips from the bottom. The spine is split about 1.5" at the bottom, and the bottom staple is just barely hangin' in there. The back cover has a bigger chip missing from the lower spine-side corner. (The white stuff poking out there is preservation paper, or whatever that stuff is called.)

 

Secondary question: is this something to consider for restoration, or is it still nice enough that you would leave it alone?

 

I believe it was described as a 3.5 when I bought it.

I think it's a very cool book as is and present well for the grade. I wouldn't restore it.

It would have to one hell of a lot more damaged before I'd consider restoration.

Other than the split, the staple and the missing pieces you'd be looking at a really nice book. No creases at all other than those stresses.

 

I'd go with a 3.0, however I wouldn't consider restoration simply for the fact that many collectors these days seem to prefer non resto lower grade copies over higher grade restos.

 

(And btw, thumbs up from a fellow LSH fan)

Thanks, guys. Do I need bigger pictures, or can you get a pretty good feel for this one with what I've posted? I notice that some of the other PGM posts have really, really big scans.

[MR SigS]

If you can do it, sure. (Meaning the bigger pics)

 

We've all seen decent looking books get shockingly low grades from CGC. I think they'd say 2.0-2.5 :shrug:

2.5, it's lovely as is, will look great in a mylite 2...it's always nice when the real damage is on the back, not the front.

I wouldn't restore it. It presents well. (thumbs u

Totally agree, enjoy the fact it's a great looking front cover that presents really well. I'd rather a pretty looking 2.5 over a fugly 3.5

It does look good in a Mylites2, however the chips on the front lower left corner really bug me.
