Grading Vs Restoration 0

[MaxMiller1990]

Speaking financial would it be better to restore a comic or just have it graded in its present condition. I currently have all the Infinity series (Gauntlet, Wars and Crusade) which I'm planning on keeping long term to sell at a much later date. They are all good condition some worse than others. Was just wondering which would be more appealing from a collector's point of view.

I am not into investment but everything I have seen and read indicates that a restored book does not have the same value as a non-restored book in the same condition.

If sending in for grading to CGC a non-restored book will receive a Universal Blue Label while a restored book will receive a Purple label noting restoration which folks refer to as the "PLOD" (purple label of death)

Also,the books that you are referring to are not that old or valuable and should not require any restoration.
