Most often color touched issue?

[1Cool]

Silver Surfer #1...192 restored out of 1509 = 12.7%

 

This one may get my vote. The AF 15, JIM 83 & Avengers 1 may have a higher restoration percent but the prices of these books make it a good canadit for major restoration. I would think SS 1 & 4 would only qualify for some color touch in terms of restoration.

I still think it is ASM 28. the numbers may not be reflected in the census because so many of them are terrible amateur jobs and people aren't going to waste their money sending them to cgc. so many were ruined that the professional CT people never got a chance on them.

I have seen a few GL 76s that have been tampered with lately.

All Select 1---black cover

I was burned on eBay on a VF GL 76 a number of years ago and didn't catch it until much later. Also Hero for Hire #1 (black cover). Now, probably Bats #227 since prices have sky-rocketed in all grades.

No contest..........Hulk #1

 

 

Just checked, surprised it's only 24%.

My ASM 1 had professional ct, got a 6.0 SP.

 

Matt Nelson removed the ct and it came back a blue label 4.5

I am glad that the current value is back above what I originally paid for it.

Personally, I would add Star Wars # 1. Every time I see that thing raw it has something up. Got burned the first time I bought started paying attention after that.

I'm curious about the statistics offered in this thread - x% of y books submitted are restored.

 

Are the restored books listed in those stats only copies that have color-touch restoration? Or are they just restored books and we're assuming that all of them include color-touch? Is it possible that a good number of those restored books don't include color-touch?

 

I'm only asking because the OP's question was 'which books most frequently have color-touch', not 'which books are restored the most'. Not trying to be a troll, just asking for clarity.

 

 

Back in 2000, one of the first books I bought off Ebay was a Batman #251. When I sent it to CGC a year later it came back PLOD minor color-touch. Welcome to Ebay.....

[thedude]

i know I color touched mine!

 

'sup Matt?

 

Hey man, how ya' been? Stupid moderns dragged me back in...

 

 

yeah, I seen all your posts over in the modern section.

I'll put Avengers #11 as an oft-touched comic. The webbing close to the spine seems a likely spot.

I tend to agree. That is the first book that came to my mind.

AF 15, people REALLY think they are slick.

I think so too. You ALWAYS, ALWAYS have to look on the inside cover of a raw ASM 28

[B-Smooth]

TMNT 1?

[Bronty]

for copper age books, that would be way up there yeah. Like someone said, any prominent black cover book is a good candidate

[VintageComics]

I always thought it was AF #15.

[VintageComics]

I always thought it was AF #15.

 

Just checked.

 

1800+ AF #15's graded and 560 of them are restored. That's nearly a third of them.

 

780 ASM #28's graded and 109 of them restored. that's about 1/7th.

 

Those numbers don't tell the whole story but they do tell a lot.

Same here when I read the thread title.

ASM 28 immediately comes to mind.
