ty_guy22 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) I have a really nice copy of Adventures Into Fear #11 but with the sharpie of previous owners initials all on the back cover I am not sure how much this hurts the grade. I have a similar situation for my X-Men #99. Any suggestions of if its possible for me to improve the grading on these at all despite the sharpie?

joeypost Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Not much can be done at this point without a good chemical bath (even then no guarantees it will significantly improve). Based on previous submissions, CGC will hammer these books significantly. Especially since it looks like earlier attempts to clean it up just smeared it around. Its a shame really. But my advice is just sell these as is and buy nicer copies. grendelbo, ty_guy22, Galen130 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ty_guy22 Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Thanks y'all for all the replies. I figured they are both kinda dunzo, luckily I didn't pay much at all for either of them, so I may just keep them as reading copies. But for real, thanks so much for the feedback :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
