Jaydogrules Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 somehow, i never posted my copy to this thread; odd that i didn't, but better late than never. Nice copy. I've always admired it (and the other wicked books) in your sig line. Nice to see it fuller size. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straw-Man Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 thanks much for the cap and sig-line props. but, you've reminded me that said sig-line hasn't been changed in a loooong time. so, there's a new, eponymous, one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Boy Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 You ve got to be kidding me. Worth the 4k someone paid for it at MCS. I think they are better off selling as is unrestored. The splash page itself it pretty awesome--much better than a repo cover......conserved my tuchas........sad to see this from CBCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRCostigan Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I don't understand why the confusion about the conserved label. It's basically a coverless book with a few missing pages, all that's done to it is staples replaced. Yes the cover sounds like a joke, but none of it is part of the book, really. I guess maybe it's mere existence is what would make it restored? I don't think so, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeanius Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Yeah, I don't understand the problem here. The book is graded a married/trimmed 0.1 anyway. How much lower can you go...?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that colouring book looking front cover considered "professional"? How do you know the book doesn't have new staples simply because the original ones were missing? Herein lies the problem when you try to parse the word "conserved" from what is in reality, restored (and in the case of this book, poorly restored, regardless of what is claimed on the label). The issue here isn't the grade, it is the buffoon-ish label. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRCostigan Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The book isn't trimmed though. The back cover is trimmed, but it isn't even from the right book -- it just shouldn't be there. And the front cover is a color reproduction, again should have no bearing on the grading besides being a coverless book. The rest of the book is legit coverless with the exception of replaced staples and missing pages according to the label. A coverless book with some excess paper wrapping it that has no business even being there need not be considered restored. Anyways, I don't have much interest in promoting my opinion about it so I'll bow out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woowoo Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I have a unrestored/ "conserved" book to sell and only 5 or 6 in the world and it looks just as bad?. Its 10% of the price. That cap would sell better if you sold the real pages/back cover or get a better copy of the front cover sorry but that cover !!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A the dictionary defines "restored" and "conserved" I wouldn't say I'm sure this book qualifies as either, except in regard to the staples. The rest is all extraneous stuff and defects.

gadzukes Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm more shocked about the "Professional work" designation than about the "Conserved" label. There are NO professionals out there that would have treated the comic this way. That cover is an absolute joke. WTF??? There are plenty of correct cover recreations out there that could have been purchased... why choose this piece of toilet paper with the incorrect back cover? Shame on Voldemort for how they handled this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
