WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE... 0

[Racer-X]

Would you rather have a Detective Comics 29:

1. 2.0 with "resto" due to split/detached cover held in place/attached to book with interior tape

or

2. A 1.0 Blue label with cover split and detached

I would take the issue that has the nicer presenting or more complete front cover, although I normally avoid tape and tape stains, if the tape was removed.

Tape alone wouldn't be considered "resto".  This is true even if it is holding a split cover together or is attaching the cover to the book.   Either way, Tec 29 is an awesome book.

Yeah, like Tyler said above, I didn't think the tape would make it restored but maybe it is conserved now (I still am unclear on the newer tape grading standards and perhaps it is archival tape which may make a difference).  

Just step up and go after the 3.0 in CC's auction (note it has tape as well but on interior cover so different than your example.  It is a great book/cover and I'm not a DC guy at all.

is the 2.0 a plod?  if so then i wouldnt touch it.  i love low grade keys with a split spine that otherwise look g+.  I picked up a 1.5 tec 35 not too long ago with a split spine.  

[tth2]

Neither.
