ImAWookie Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) hi everyone looking for some advice recently got this and didn’t know it was restored when grading. What would happen to the grade if the bottom right corner where it’s restored is cut off? https://imgur.com/a/NBG5hro Edited February 4 by ImAWookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 That depends on how much you have to amputate. A book missing its pinkie toe will grade higher than if you cut it off at the knees. I'd leave it to the professionals if it was my book, or return it to the seller for the undisclosed restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I wouldn't cut it. Maybe send it in for Restoration removal assessment, see what they recommend, try to gauge the impact of that, and go from there. I think its value as a Restored 6.5 will be in the ballpark of a lower grade blue label. Presents very nicely as is. But if you hate the label, and you can get your money back on the comic (presuming you haven't owned it for decades), maybe best to do that.

joeypost Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 CGC’s definition of minor could be 1-2 spots or twenty. Leave it be. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topnotchman Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 C-1 is likely a significant amount of color touch that bleeds through. Do not attempt to unrestore or scrape off. If the book isn’t a keeper, sell it and buy another copy. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
