Replaced staples 0

[Spider-Guy]

Hey guys forgive me as I am rather new to collecting but I recently got a silver age book that I believe has been restapled as the staples look perfect and the book is probably only a 1.0 so it doesn't line up. That and the fact that the cover is only hanging on by the staples leads me to believe the cover was detached and someone down the line restapled it back on.. Any way if a book has been restapled with new staples not vintage staples what is the max grade it can receive? As far as I have heard it doesn't count as restoration. Thanks.

Hi Chris, it would help to upload some pictures if the original staples have been removed and it has been re-stapled I believe that is restoration at the very least it would be noted on the label replaced staples after manufacturing or something to the sort. As for the grade your saying its a 1.0 it would either be a 1.0 or 0.5 unless its incomplete.

Correct-a-mundo. Staple replacement is restoration. If it was replaced with vintage staples it would be conservation.

So, it'll receive a PLOD if submitted to CGC. Would have received a gray/blue label if they were vintage staples.

A restored 1.0 of a common non-key Silver Age book isn't usually worth a lot. For the sake of clarity, may I ask what particular book we're talking about?

you should post some pics in the PGM book section of the forum and see what others say but if your sure about the shiny (non vintage staples replacement) your going to get a 1.0 (or whatever grade) restored label book. if your looking to sell the book since it will get the PLOD you might be interested depending on how severe or what can be done and restore it further if your about the higher #
