Trimmed and Color Touched up Daredevil #7

[jaysteig]

Hello All,

 

So here is this Daredevil #7, how bad is this restoration. I purchased the book and did not do this restoration. It does have trimming and color touchup. It looks nice but is this basically just wall art now? If I put it in for grading it would get a poo grade from CGC right? Is it a 3.5 at best? Here is the picture. Thanks

It is not worth grading in my opinion. I am basing my opinion from an economic perspective given the value of a restored DD 7 with trimming relative to the cost to get it graded.

Eh, a "poo" grade is ok if it wasnt trimmed. There are some acceptable "poo" grades in my book Slight color touch and a seal to a tear or split is no problem, but when u start adding pieces thats when I shy away, To each his own, but sometimes is ok to embrace poo

The book is beautiful. It is so unfortunate the stigma restoration has in the comic market. In the classic car market it is expected sometimes even desired for a car to be fully restored but in comics it is the opposite. I believe if people would have done restoration properly in the past and disclosed it instead of trying to dupe collectors this negative view wouldn't have happened.

Well, personally I think CGC did a good thing with the conservation label and thats a step in the right direction

To me that "presents" like about a 9.0.

 

The last trimmed/restored Daredevil 7 in 9.0 went for almost $250 so you definitely have more than wall art there.

Thanks guys I feel better about my purchase, I paid more then 250 not a crazy amount though. But its a nice looking book. And I meant "poor" not "poo" typo .

Did the seller disclose the trimming and color touch before selling it to you?

[jaysteig]

It was but I didnt read the description very well. Oh well live and learn.
