APDallas Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) My brother has a AMAZING SPIDERMAN #1 that looks like it has some brown grease staining. We wondered if it could be cleaned up and brightened. Any thoughts or advice or are we stuck with it as is.

faster friends Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Better to leave it alone vs risking a restored label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APDallas Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Thank you for the advice. How would this affect the grade though. My brother is of the opinion he just wants it to look nicer and really does not care if it is restored as he does not plan on selling it. I told him to just leave it alone but am concerned about thelong term effects it may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gonna be dinged pretty hard, considering the apparent condition of the rest of the book. I'm unsure of the long-term effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent many a trip to my LCS back in the day staring at that book in the glass case under the cash register. Congrats on having it.
