gadzukes Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) This is a restored AF15. It was a remaindered copy that has had a new masthead attached. It also has color touch. I just want to get a sense of what you guys think it will grade out at. Back cover is a little better than the front cover.

Westy Steve Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 As it is, I think it's more like a 4.0. But can you press it? I don't know if you can press a book with a piece replaced. I think a press would bring it closer to a 5.0 if CGC is forgiving on the chipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassman10 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) 3.0 -3.5 The photo doesn't show the spine and the book is seriously rolled. The "A" in Amazing fantasy is actually going around the edge. The color breaks are really numerous. I don't see that book pressing.

Vorpal Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 All I can say is that the restorer did a masterful job. I can't even tell anything was replaced; they matched the wear on the rest of the book... amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the original configuration. If you look at a lot of AF15s you will see that many are wrapped like this. In a perfect world the centering would always skew to the front, but for some reason with Af15s many of them are not very well centered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 This Af15 is now being shipped back to me. It got a Restored 3.5 B-2 Restoration includes: small amount of color touch on cover, tear seals to cover. I wanted a 3.5-4.0 so I'm more than happy with that. I'll post a pic when it comes in.

rjpb Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm surprised it got S/M. I didn't realize from your original post that it was a married masthead, which is why I thought extensive. Whoever repaired it looks to have done an excellent job, as you can't tell from a picture, and it didn't get straight up moderate resto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
