Wayne-Tec Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Here is my copy. That is a beautiful looking 2.0. Any history behind picking up this piece of history, for you personally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameri Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 So I had Kenny remove the tape that was on the inside spine and the little bit that was on the outside and a dry cleaning. There was athletic or medical tape on the bottom half of the inside which was removed. No restoration though. The spine is completely split otherwise so it is basically a 1.0. Different lighting makes the colors look a little different. Before: After: nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnkurJ Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It wouldn't be better than a 1.0 right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Knight Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Wow, that book looks much nicer and more presentable. Good job Kenny and congrats Ankur! I think it might have a shot at a 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkurJ Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Can a fully split spine receive a 1.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primetime Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Can a fully split spine receive a 1.5? not that I've seen or received. Fully split spine seems like a "ceiling" defect that CGC automatically says 1.0 at very best even if eye appeal is much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkurJ Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Gotcha. I think a blue 1.0 is better than a 8.0 extensive resto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ze-man Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Man, I gotta get you a better pic, I took that with my iphone before it was even pressed. It really does look nicer now, that exposed Medical tape was a sticky mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While mr primetime is probably right, NOT SO, the last Sup 1, on CLINK, or HA, or CC, was a 1.5 with cover completely split, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Zombie Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Gotcha. I think a blue 1.0 is better than a 8.0 extensive resto of course! All extensives are far from created equally ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tec 33 coming up in comic connect's auction in August has a completely split spine with a 1.5..... -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
