CarlNicholson Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Picked up a copy of Hulk 180, that was already graded, and had a restored label. Was looking to remove the restoration, just for the experience-I haven’t had any restored books before. however, the “restoration” looks like a kid just drew a little on the cover in some small spots-not to hide any flaws. Can someone help me figure out if this can be removed, or if it even really is restoration? *note the green spots on the woman’s hair at the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveinthecity Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The green you see on Marie’s hair isn’t color touch. It’s a result of the printing process itself. silverseeker, grendelbo, KCOComics and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topnotchman Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I would check for black color touch along the spine first. silverseeker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notes say color touch on the front cover-is that normally just a generic statement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topnotchman Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 The spine typically gets spine cracks and the black color breaks. Amateurs would take black pen or marker and fill the color breaks. djzombi and steveinthecity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topnotchman Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 That black area between the staples which is offset by a slight white spine mis wrap. Could I see a close up picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Zipper Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) It's likely in the dark area to the left of Hulk's word bubble. Probably covering some hairline creases. In fact, it appears some of it may bleed into the white area of the spine. Edited January 27 by Mr. Zipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it looks like sharpie, or pen, not really covering up anything even though it’s over two color breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topnotchman Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 For sure you have a few color touches in the black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
