Small amount of color-touch on back of book...what % of value decrease?

[Chip Cataldo]

I've got a Golden Age book that looks amazing on the front cover, but unfortunately on the back has three places where some very minor creasing along the edges/corner was "covered up" by some pretty obvious crappily-done color-touch...the blues don't match at all as the CT is a much lighter blue than the cover.

 

What kind-of value decrease am I looking at due to the CT? 25%? 50%?

 

Any experience or opinions would be welcomed, thanks.

 

Peace,

 

Chip

Any more info? What book? What is the grade? Can we see a pic?

My scanner's not hooked up right now as I'm bagging/boarding that big collection I got in last week. It's Animal Comics #11 from 1944. I haven't scrutinized the book for the exact grade yet, but it's higher grade.

 

Let me see if I can snap a few quick pics with my phone and e-mail them to myself.

 

Peace,

Okay, pics. The CT is a lot more noticeable in person than in the close-up pics.

Not sure it would make that much diff on value for this comic.

I would say 50% just because it's amateur and it's a poor job of it

Its a $35 comic in Fine condition. I still don't think its gonna make much diff.

Grade it and disclose the color touch. It will not hurt the value much because the value is already low. Just inform the buyer.

If its normally $35, Id list at $30, disclose CT and include free first class shipping. I'd assume its not an easy book to find. The CT does no favors, but no need to give it away, my friend.

Totally amateur!

 

You knew there are few CT before you acquired it?

 

The problem is that Economy Tier is $35 excluded the shipping/handling fees. CCS may not able to remove CT but it will cost you more money.

 

It may cost more than what you bought this copy. Just keep it. You may never know it will be more valued in future.
