Darn, if only it was the second unrestored CGC graded 10 offered I could perhaps maybe possibly make a sort or kind of what could be called an offer by some. :ohnoez:

Isn’t this the copy along with the Detective 27 that’s heavily restored that CGC refused to grade and then a lawsuit came about?

Why did they refuse to grade it?

Ahhhh..................it must be Christmas time again just like those lazy, hazy, and crazy days of Christmas of 2015 when it was absolute dullsville until we were all awaken from our slumber when the Meyers and Matt decided to air their private and dirty laundry out in public on these very boards here for shall we say our festive seasonal entertainment. lol  :slapfight: :slapfight:

It really seemed like a serious case of "he said, she said" between two former lovers and any bets that if Matt was still involved in the process to the end, this would now be another tool in CCG's toolbox to bolster both their top and bottom lines and some boardies in turn would be just fine with this activity and jumping right on board this money train without giving it a second thought.  hm  :facepalm:

Meyers' garbage. They took restoration to a WHOLE different level.

This is what the book must have originally looked like.

Actually, isn't this image much more accurate when applied to the "leaf casting" process that Matt Nelson and another restorer (was it Kenny Sanderson??) perfected over 10 years ago which was deemed to be a so-called "revolutionary" process that supposedly "elevated" comic book restoration to new heights not seen before?  hm  (shrug)

Leaving aside the amount of resto, wouldn’t it be pertinent to the provenance of the book (especially a $3M book) to show the before/after the work? Classic cars that sell for $20k+ have extensive paperwork showing the work performed - and granted, there’s a lot more to show - but the premise of restoration is the same idea. Showing how it was and then showing how it’s been restored.
