Lifting colored marker from interior pages?

[Vorpal]

Has anyone ever had success in "lifting" (removing or significantly lightening) colored marker from interior pages? I received a silver age book (Silver Surfer #1) with a number of hot pink marker "embellishments" on the lips, cheeks, and nails of Shalla. I'm 95% sure I'm returning the book because of them (already started the process), but I began wondering if the process could be reversed. For reference, here are a few of the instances:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Surprisingly, it doesn't seem that there is any bleed-through to the back of the page for any of these.

 

Thanks.

I'm not an expert in these things, but I think it's very unlikely that you could remove those marks without damaging the paper.

And its obviously not restoration so I dont think it will hammer the grade.

It's still soaked in. You'd have to scrape it off. I'd return it.

You paid $150 for the book and aren't happy with it. It would cost multiples of that to attempt to do anything.

 

Why don't you just return the book?

That's still the plan. It's packaged up already, but today was a federal holiday so the mail didn't run. Therefore, my mind wandered. Thanks for the feedback, all.

Good catch noticing those!

that pink ink is soaked in. you can't get that off. It won't count as restoration, but will lower the grading overall... by how much, I don't know

Not that it matters, but I'm wondering how you two have determined that these "embellishments" were made with marker or ink as opposed to, say, lipstick or crayon?

I don't know for sure, it just looks like marker. It's certainly not crayon or lipstick, though. Crayon looks different and lipstick is greasy.

What's the problem? I think she looks hot!

 

I had a few SA Fantastic Four books where the owner added a belt to Johnny Storm in every panel.

 

Unfortunately, the same owner thought it was cool to add a logo to the Silver Surfer's surfboard on an FF #50 ::

^ I agree... I like lipstick on women
