skypinkblu Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) I am trying to figure out if this would get a blue label or a purple? At first I thought it was just someone filling in with marker, but there are no scratches to cover, it looks like x's and o's, so either tic tac toe or kisses and hugs by a kid? Thoughts? and thanks in advance:) Sharon Edited December 1, 2022 by skypinkblu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I suspect that CGC would consider that "restoration". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I suspect so too...but wanted to double check:) Just in case they recently had a "doodling" waiver;) Appreciate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post seanfingh Posted December 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2022 My guess is resto - to me it looks like the marker was added to cover up the doodling. And because they appear to have tried to "color match" the marker, it appears to be intentional. Sorry. theCapraAegagrus, jsilverjanet, skypinkblu and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I feel like irrespective of what was doodled or not-doodled or whatever, red marker on a red field is always going to get a resto flag. skypinkblu, theCapraAegagrus, jsilverjanet and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I'm guessing restored. I had something similar on a prehero marvel and it came back purple. skypinkblu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 What does the other side look like? Is there any bleed thru of the "x"s and/or the overall covering color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water color is often used by pro restorers for color touch since, when applied properly, there is no bleed thru. Looking at it I think the original assessment of kids drawing and later coloring over it and would glean a resto label. Using a large display it also looks like it could be a wet attempt to clean off the writing which caused it to smudge, which would be considered wet cleaning and also a resto label.

I don't think it's water color, I've taken more water color classes than I want to remember;) ...I think it's possibly a water based marker although those didn't really come out till the late 70's...and you might have a point about the removal. It could be an alcohol based marker. The card stock is so thick, it probably didn't bleed through. In any case, a friend was interested in it and I am going to tell him it's restored. So thank you all PovertyRow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
