Restoration significance

[Danno561]

First, I am relatively new to collecting comics but certainly taking an active interest in learning. I have acquired a showcase 22 comic, graded by cgc as 4.0 with restoration noted. The description of the restoration suggests very minor work. How much does the extent of restoration matter in determining value? Also, is it possible to remove this modest restoration for purposes of resubmission and regrading?

 

It states "restoration includes small amount of glue on spine"

Identical situation. Discussion here......

You might get a fuller description of where the glue is and how much of it there is from the grader's notes. You can send it to CCS for an evaluation. If you can have the glue removed without significantly reducing the grade, it should be worth doing.

I appreciate this guidance. Thank you

Yes, get the graders notes to see how much glue is on the spine. It might mean that there is a large spine split that was sealed with glue, or maybe just a couple of small dots of glue that can be scraped away.

 

Good luck.

there is glue on the cover doing something restorative.

 

depending on how much glue is there and how much 'restoration' it's doing it might come off and be worth of a resubmit.

 

if it's tiny enough, it might not affect the grade too much (if at all)
