Folds or creases

[Doc McCoy]

Any one ever try to remove them from OA?

 

Story:I purchased a piece of art. It was a very nice piece that I was happy to add to my collection. The experience wasn't the greatest though. It arrived today, thrown in a USPS Ready Post mailer with nothing to protect it, no card board, fiber board, nothing. Just the mailer's bubble wrap. Not even a "do not bend" written on the outside. My heart sank as soon as I saw it. Needless to say I've requested some kind of refund.

 

In the meantime, is there any way to attempt to save this piece?

What's the extent of the damage? No tears?

A professional restorer might be able to wash it to remove the folds/creases. You will still see signs of it but it will be alot better.

 

Get a quote from them, but from my experience it should be around $100-$200

 

This of course assumes your piece used india ink

No tears, luckily. Just a slight bend across the middle, then heavy creasing at a point on the left hand side. Disappointing. He had done a stunning ink job on the page, blows my mind that he treated it that way.

Story:I purchased a piece of art from Le Beau Underwood, penciled by Tyler Kirkham, inked by Le himself. It was a very nice piece that I was happy to add to my collection. The experience with Le wasn't the greatest though. I had to file a dispute to get him to ship the art after payment. It arrived today, thrown in a USPS Ready Post mailer with nothing to protect it, no card board, fiber board, nothing. Just the mailer's bubble wrap. Not even a "do not bend" written on the outside. My heart sank as soon as I saw it. Needless to say I've requested some kind of refund from Le and will steer clear of doing business with him in the future.

I had a similar experience with an artist, had my page pressed by Joeypost, excellent results.
