maxon Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Hey all, wondering if this would be considered color touch in the eyes of CGC. It's a black marker spot on the spine, with no indication of CT elsewhere on the book. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatterEaterLad Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Afraid so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxon Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Interesting. I only thought it was CT if it was done to conceal color loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody who considers ink on a white area to be colour touch has no business grading comics. silverseeker, B2D327, THE_BEYONDER and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I would say no, it's an ink stain with bleed through, but it does not appear intended to mask wear. However, if you were to use whiteout to hide it, that wold be color touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatterEaterLad Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Interesting. I have a purple book somewhere with two dots similar to that. Perhaps there's color touch somewhere else and those are just ink stains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William-James88 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It's not colour touch. The book will still take a hit on the grade due to this but it won't be considered restored. MatterEaterLad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I believe it is just sharpie on a comic. Shouldn't hurt the value or affect grade if it is in the VF or lower range otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
