G.A.tor Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 DAMMIT- who snatched the 37 from metro- I was about to move on it!!! That's hilarious. I saw that book last night and thought to myself "decent price" and almost made an impulse buy. Seems to happen every other day lately. Yah, just like the Marvel 5 swipe! So I heard. Does anyone have a pic or know the grade of the Marvel 5? hey I bought that marvel 5 a week before anyone even mentioned it on these boards (actually, that is true, I bought it 2/14, a few days before the 5vs9 thread was started) rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not, yet...$10,500 hello all.. that is actually a pretty good price on a 4.5...the last one sold via clink for $11,500...so, it is like a $1K discount...the cheapest I would consider selling my 4.5 is $10K, if the right package deal came along, and I am not really interested in selling, so that is something to consider rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the price dropped by $500 since then? I def. need a Tec 33 in my collection, but even with $10,500.. It's still darn expensive!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou_fine Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 one 8.5 cvr cleaned for $7,390, (still on their site) one 8.0 ct/cvr cleaned for $2,000 (still on their site) and the 5.0 for $3,000, which is the one that is gone now, was this book restored ?? the listing didn't say anything about resto. You are thinking of the high grade #36 which has a cleaned cover. The VG/F does NOT have a cleaned cover. Stephen Which has more of a negative impact on the price of a book? A book that has had its cover clean or a book with colour touch? I guess it really must depend on the amount of the colour touch. From the above listed prices, it looks like the copy with the microdot of colour touch still sold for over guide. The book with the cover cleaned is still sitting unsold for around guide price while the copy with both colour touch and cover cleaned is also sitting unsold even at a big discount to guide.

showcase4 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Which has more of a negative impact on the price of a book? A book that has had its cover clean or a book with colour touch? I'm sure this is a "case by case" decision, but for me, a cleaned cover is less bothersome than color touch......a cleaning is just that...a cleaning. Color touch is replacing/ filling in an area/chip/stress line that is missing its original surface layer/pigment. I would imagine I may be in the minority on this one, as a small amount of color touch may represent a repair to 1% of the cover, where as cleaning effects 100% of the cover... With cleaning...you are brightening/cleaning/refreshing what is still there. With color touch...you are replacing something that is missing/no longer there. (seems more severe) ( all this from someone who doesn't buy restored books anyway ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.tor Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 hello all... I think I would take color touch over cleaning (aqueous based)...with that type of cleaning, you are actually altering the chemical composition of the cover/book, in essence, "changing" it structurally, far more "damaging" to me, than adding color touch which concievably could be removed...you can't undo a cleaning (plus, it sometimes leaves a wierd feel to the book)... rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hand ® Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Yeah, if I had to choose between a small color touch and an water cleaning I'd choose the color touch, it's much less invasive and in most cases can be undone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "feel" of the book changes after a cleaning. But, having said that, it wouldn't stop me from buying a book I want if it had been color touched AND cleaned. The book is what matters most to me. I'm greedy like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
