Why not a blue label with notes saying Outer cover 4.5 with slight restoration or with tear seals and color touch or something like that. I'm not a big fan of the different color label anyway but in this case I would see it as an unrestored book.

 

BTW TnC, if the outer wrap were carefully taken off, is it now a qualified comic? or just a normal unrestored.

Nah...it's a restored book as long as it's connected to the comic...

Depends on if you can tell there was a second cover there upon inspection. If so, it's a qualified...

I voted purple label...

 

 

I've got a question also...I have a GA comic with a double cover that, during my impetuous youth, I felt it would be better to carefully remove the outer cover and save it for a coverless copy of the book to appear and then...viola...I've got 2 comics...

 

So does that make the comic with the original cover restored?...

 

Note:

To remove the cover I carefully removed the staples ...removed the top cover...then reinserted the staples...

 

Just read ft88's post...oh well ...the question remains... frustrated.gif

I was actually the first to vote. Voted it is restoration. The outser cover has restoration. The outer cover is part of the book. Hence, book is restored.

 

Maybe a more intriguing question would be - "If a double cover book with restoration on the front cover has the front cover removed, is the book restored?" grin.gif

If the restoration was removed it would not be a PLOD anymore.

It might still be a GLOD however... 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

I honestly don't have one yet. It is why, to me, the question is intriquing. Must take some time to ponder.

Don't know how you could tell, or why the frig you would even wonder . . . 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
