BA773 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 A little bit of the blue turned to white in the back of the red hood, did it severe for grading or not? I put a picture of a normal book to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maraxusofkeld Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 It looked like there was some friction in that area and that was rubbed off. Not sure what grade you were expecting but I wouldn’t send in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA773 Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 I never want to send my books for analyzing, that not interest me. But its for my personnal knowledge. If we considere that the only default how many point that cost in gradings? Approximately ~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 A significant scuff can bring the grade down to 6.0-8.0. To me, this looks pretty significant, so I would be at 6.5/7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA773 Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 I have an interrogation, did you think we can remove them? I know restoring will change the grade but not a problem because i want to keep them for me, it just i want its look better. Did you think japanase mulberry paper be a good option? I see that on web. Nobody here haved that kind of problem past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody here haved that kind of problem past? Is it this exact copy of this issue that is important to you? The actual one you're holding in the photo? Because if it's just any Batman 635 that is important to you to own in high grade (not this specific copy), you'd be far better off buying a new raw or graded copy - the money you'd spend on trying to get professional restoration on your copy is probably more than you'd spend on buying a new high-grade copy. If it is this specific copy that you're holding that is important to you for whatever reason, I'd argue to keep it in the condition it's in (maybe it's like that because it was a favorite, well-read comic from your childhood or something along those lines?) and put it in a nice Mylar bag with a quality backing board. Then when you look at it you can remember why it has the character that it has, vs. overpaying to have professional restoration done on a modern book.

Jesse-Lee Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 As an example of what I mean: this is my favorite comic in my collection - it was my Grandpa and then Dad's copy of Batman 209. It's extremely low-grade, but it's the book that started my love of comics. I'd never consider restoring it because when I look at the creases, lines, etc. it reminds me of my Grandpa and Dad reading it and then myself reading it as a child. I keep this in a nice Mylar bag, and I bought myself a second, high-grade copy so I'd have both this one and a nicer copy in my collection.
