Now you've gone and let the cat out of the bag! Avast, Black Walter! When Susan C first promoted resto (remember the pics of Showcase #4 before and after?) it seemed as if it was really going to take hold in a positive way. But I think others far less skilled than Susan started to give it a bad name. I saw covers glued to spines as 'restored NM', bleed through and much else besides it would have been better not to do. But as comics age, and prices spiral ever higher, it isnt difficult for me to imagine that it will become - not just acceptable but - the norm. And I was actually thinking, like Sha, that this auction made it alright to think resto once again. 'If it was good enough for Jon Berk' will enter the lexicon. sagii, Larryw7 and porcupine48 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Jon retired from active collecting a number of years ago. I think he'll be quite content with the small, but very sweet and personally significant items that he retains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly looks like it is going to be one heck of a fun and busy day for everybody here today. Hope it's going to be a happy and productive one for everybody at the end of it.

Not gonna be able to make it to Heroes so hoping to score another deal or two tonight I like those Kid Komics and they were great deals. I was high bidder on some of them when my company walked in, but they didn't leave in time. Glad you won a few, I think people passed them in the rush to the Aces/Centaurs and who knows what else;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Sub-Mariner #1 that I traded in my entire baseball card collection as a kid at a show to a dealer for because it was such a nice looking copy. It was worth over $150 dollars!!!!! I finally got around to submitting it last year....3 edges trimmed....I'm keeping it forever. It's my anti-Rosebud. I found a bunch of books I bought on the boards a long time ago, mostly from someone who advertised about disclosing, had undisclosed resto. There will always be people who are not ...I'm just going to say "nice". However, it's not the poor book's fault;) jcb193 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
