Big staple pulls on this one. 

I don't believe the red over the eyes counts as color touch either.

0.5-1.0

I am bucking the trend I say 1.5

Looks like the cover is still attached so I'd say 1.5 to 1.8. However... those red ink stains around the eyes are going to give you a restored grade..... Personally, I wouldn't send this in to be graded unless you don't mind a PLOD.

If the eyes were red, then I'd agree.  But not all color on a book would receive a restored label. I'm pretty sure red on black isn't considered as restoration in this case.

Not sure that I understand. Are you saying that the red ink is original? If you look at the inside front cover, you can see clear signs of bleed through from the ink/marker used on the eyes. To me this is a clear sign of color touch. Probably done by the kid who bought the book in period. In any case, I would think that CGC would consider that as restoration.

No, I'm not saying the red is original. I'm saying it wasn't placed there to help the appearance of the book. Names and random doodles aren't considered as restoration. If there was blue bleed through on the red background in most cases it wouldn't be restoration.  Just like red on black eyes in most cases wouldn't be restoration.

Hey @Meekrab, why don't you weigh in with your own grade? I'd still be very curious to see how CGC would treat this book; assuming it doesn't sell of course...

1.0/1.5, no color touch for the eyes.
