Folds vs Missing Peices 0

[Ozonetv]

Got an outside the box question - if a piece of the cover is just folded back, but not missing - does that still effect the grade?

I've got an FF1 with little Kevin’s signature up top,  and wondered what folding back the top a bit would do to the already low grade. Since the piece is still there and not missing, does it effect it?

Don’t do that

What the what!!!! Don't do it! You will damage it's condition still further and make it look a damn sight more unattractive. You hold in your hands a treasured piece of comic book history, don't mess with it.

P.S. My name is Kevin Smith and I would like my book back, please.

I’m not going to - but was curious what the effect on grading would be. Besides, Kevin would send his secret stash crew after me.

I was considering getting it signed by Stan over the kRS in the middle, but was told he wouldn’t be able to do that due to macular degeneration sadly.

On the already extremely low grade you have it wouldn't have any effect on the technical grade but you run a big risk of damaging it as well as certainly making it look worse.

Thanks- I was most interested in the technical part of the grade...and chances are the graders would just fold it back anyway.

Like I said, its not going to happen.

Here it is after it was cleaned and pressed by Susan Cicconi at the restoration lab (no restoration done)....big difference!

Sorry, I don't like the overall look. A book with all those wrinkles and creases should not look that flat. I do like the spine alignment. You should put it in a slab where the unnatural flat look will not be as obvious.
