Crazy Canuck Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Dear boardies, Below is a raw Fantastic Four 48 for sale. Book obtained as part of the "Sleeping Giant Collection" currently advertised in the Mixed Age Thread. Please review the following Grading: Book presents incredibly well with significant gloss and snow white pages. Great alignment, with no classic miss-wrap and lays flat. 1/4inch tear to back outer edge 1/8 inch bottom middle of the book pen scribble to top page, right upper corner and right upper edge with slight pen bleed through on inner page. This book has not been pressed to my knowledge. My opinion VG/FN (5.0) In short, grading is always subjective, so I will provide as many pictures for you to determine the grade for yourself. If more images are required I'm more than happy to provide. Will be shipped securely, insured with priority tracking. PayPal only! No return, sale final.

MattTheDuck Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 You should probably include a picture of the "pen scribble." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Canuck Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Not sure if these pen marks in the 1st image would be considered restoration, but I’m open to feedback. The 2nd images seems to be scuffing, but I will have to take a better look. Just at work right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollyComics Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 To everyone who did a great job to detect the restoration. It's an apparent amateur restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
