Would You Chance It?

No. The auction even speculates that the book has restoration. The seller has little feedback. I seem to have little trouble finding enough relatively secure outlets for my collecting dollars, and so would never take a risk on something like this.

Looks trimmed to me.

Judging from the scan the book definitely looks trimmed, and probably cleaned and pressed - the colors look faded and the comic does look pancaked.

 

There could be professional color touching, too. All in all not worth the risk - the seller shouldn't really fudge the resto issue on such a major book.

No way. That book is obviously trimmed. The spine stress that is visible would also take it out of 9.2, let alone 9.4/9.6.

[Sharkey]

No way.

 

I love the "I am not a professional inspector/grader i can't guarantee it will come back from CGC unrestored or in the grade I have given it" disclaimer.

 

Uh, yeah.

 

He's also got a GS X-Men 1 that is either miscut or has a poor trim job.

That book looks like a miscut rather than a trim. Very hard to trim those squarebounds, anyway.......

Nope...considering the seller's "might be..." proclamation covering his @ss, my money's on the book being restored...

Where? I think the back drop in those photos makes it the lines look off but I think the book is fine.

[Dr_Neff]

no he gives the disclaimer holding him harmless - so you might as well draw your own spider-man # 2 and keep it.

Are you joking? The book is trimmed on all three edges.

[Silver Surfer]

Like I said earlier, that back drop really plays with my head. I can't get a good bead on whether the edges are straight or not.
