Hello again,

 

Up for your opinions are the following 2 DC SA books...

 

Showcase # 80: 1ST SA app Phantom Stranger. Neal Adams cover. The colors are vibrant, pages are OW/WHITE, lots of gloss on the covers...

 

Aquaman #37: Pages are white and there are no defects hiding from the scans

 

I don't have many DC books in my collection, but the ones I do are quite nice thumbsup2.gif

 

Thanks for looking

Showcase 80: 6.5....7.0 after the Wonderbread. poke2.gif

 

I've heard this "Wonderbread" thing posted a couple of times confused.gif

 

Are you serious that dirt/stains can be removed with it?

 

If I am just "gulable", then so be it! But what's the story with the bread???

Yep, it removes dirt just fine. If you have a white backround, use a white art eraser instead. Neither is considered restoration by CGC and most non-superanal collectors. I have used both in the past to get rid of soiling.

So what do you do??? Take a piece of (fresh?) Wonderbread and rub it over the cover??? If you would be so kind... hail.gif

Yep. Carefully rub it on the cover. Just use trial and error on a few low grade books first. Use the white art eraser for white backgrounds, NOT COLOR. The eraser will remove the color along with the soiling. I only do this on a handfull of books I know I am going to be keeping. Who knows what the future trend might be in regards to this kind of thing? Personally, I don't care if I buy a book that has been dry cleaned or pressed, but some might feel differently. confused-smiley-013.gif
