PGMASM50 restored 2 2

[mike devon]

Hi folks.  I decided to prettify this 50.  On here it had scored a 3.0 to 3.5 in its raw state so I'd like to know what you think it now looks visually.  Bear in mind ofc that when tilted to the light you can see where the creases were.  Im going to repair the bottom right corner too.

How do you all feel about restoration on a comic in low grade..?  Once it gets down to 3.5 I'm all for it - I can't see the point of very tatty looking comics.

I would never try to restore any comic, keep it original.....if you want to tape it, color it, fold it, bend it, eat it, it's your comic.....

Sure.  For me once they visually degrade past a certain point I can't see the point of owning them - unless its an AF15 or similar.
This is an experiment for me - I've bought it specifically to retouch and sell.  I put an ASM14 on ebay last month - nice nick but ad page missing.  Gone in an hour.

Same! Don't ruin the book by doing resto

There's a market for both, but, keep it virgin..also, agree on additional pics would help
