restoration question

[uchiha101]

when your restoring a comic book and your missing pages can they be restored as well or you need to have some piece of the page you are missing so that they can restore it?

Typically with missing pages a donor book is sought and the pages are married. Interior pages that are partially missing can have the pieces replaced and art is redrawn.

To be clear, for it to make any financial sense to marry pages to a book (and take pages out of a second copy), it needs to be a book that has a good amount of value to begin with even in an incomplete/low-grade state. Outside of tougher Golden Age books or silver age megakeys, it's hard to think of too many instances where it makes sense.

the comic book that I'm thinking of is bat #4 and action comics 15

[Point Five]

So you have incomplete copies of Batman #4 and Action #15? That's cool.

What is each book missing?

 

The trick is that even coverless or incomplete copies of those books will likely sell in the hundreds of dollars. It can be a long quest to find a different copy with the right combination of the pages you need, plus decent page quality and affordability.

 

(And funny enough, I own a coverless and incomplete Action #15 myself, so I know of what I speak!)
