JRich282 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I just got 3 books back from CGC. To my horror - not one, but two - came back in the dread purple label. One is Journey Into Mystery Annual 1 8.0 and the other is Marvel Superheroes 17 9.0. Both have been given the designation of Slight (C-1). JIMA 1 notes read "small amount of colour touch on cover, small amount of glue on cover". MS17 notes read "small amount of colour touch on cover". If memory serves CGC will attempt restoration on Slight restoration, I just wanted to hear some advice or examples from others. I'd post some pics, but I doubt the restoration would be noticed. Also, should I send them back in their slabs, or take them out myself while disclosing the restoration. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttock Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 C-1 implies amateur, which likely means bleed through and can't be removed without taking chunks out of the full thickness of the cover. Probably not worth it. greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Pontoon Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 And many people, myself included, find books that have had resto scraped off look like poop. If the CT bothers you, you may be better off just selling the slabs as is and buying blue labels. bighairjer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topnotchman Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Very small A-1 would be a lesser amount of professional color touch which does not bleed through the cover. C-1 small amount sounds extensive to me, but I believe ccs offers an opinion on successful restoration removal for a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topnotchman Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 A-1 very small A-1 small B-1 very small B-1 small C-1 very small C-1 small Your already at level 6 for possible color touch restoration removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
