Mike. It's been along time since I have posted with all the family stuff going on, but I do lurk sometimes to get my mind off things.

WOW Matt really did an unbelievable job on that book! Anyone else think 1.5 might be a little generous though? It certainly has the eye appeal of a 1.5, but looking at the before pics, that tear not only goes across the entire back cover but it looks like it goes through quite a few of the interior pages. The eye appeal is much better now but the book is still practically torn in half!

[Glynn Sr]

This one is a tuff call.

This one is a tuff call.

 

It will be bid on like there was no resto - going for top dollar watch and see.

A little sketch to me. Just my opinion. The book has huge flaws and the fact that some of them may not ever be disclosed is a little eh...

Bids placed for a few books ending tonight.

The seller is fortunate that the tear is on the BC and not the FC. Wonder if it still would have gotten a 1.5 if that was reversed.

I think this Action 1 will do very well and would not be surprised to see it closer to 200k in the end. This one will always be known as "the one someone stuffed into the wall for insulation" book. I really like that kind of "provenance" and would pay a little more if I had the liquid scratch right now.

$200K for a book that has tons of tape on it, maybe, but is it wise? What happens to its value when CGC officially begins to frown on tape [or has that happened already?] and will it be put in a PLOD a couple years from now when its reholdered?

Where is the tape? Nothing on the label about any tape. Apparently the book was just pressed, and that is stated in the CC auction listing.

The book had a lot of work done to it. The description of the work done was in a CGC newsletter, but consensus is a big dealer or comicconnect forced its removal. And then a removal of a thread on here discussing the work done to the book. The before and after photos I provided is all that was left of the article they yanked. If my memory serves me correctly it did not say anything about tape, but was a lengthy article what they did (seemed like a case study to promote their new restoration service) it was much more than a simple press as in comicconnect's description. But there was mention of interior pages that were also ripped but they aren't on commicconnect's description nor the cgc label. I wouldn't want to crack that slab.

The Action #252 is at 5K now. Not too shabby.

Well my mistake but I sure wouldn't want to move that slab around too much as it might shift something ugly if there is no tape holding it together.

Can't argue with that!

I was interested in this book upto 150k. Since over my limit I can only wish bidders good luck!

[Johnny545]

I think it tops out at 165...my guess. Good luck bidders.
