Lninefingers Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) I don't think the grade is going up with a reattached cover and it wouldn't be cheap to do, so unless you're allergic to the slab I wouldn't. Edit: the auto censored thing is funny. I guess I should have said "non-CGC" Edited May 3 by Lninefingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should have said "non-CGC" Yeah it may even go down, i think its graded correctly- but just non cgc case is ugly and it could defintely look better after a clean and press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Pontoon Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 If you want a raw copy you can read, sure open it up. C&P is not going to do much to improve the eye appeal, there's too much wear. I'd be happy with it as is. Also, posting :censored: books on the Boards is not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 CGC has softened up their tight grading standards lately. You may have a chance to upgrade the grade but you may have to pay 4% FMV charge and you may get the restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Presents nicely for what it is graded at, but I do not see the grade going up as the list of technical flaws is long. I’d think lower, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Zipper Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I think it's a generous 2.5, so an upgrade is highly unlikely IMO. And the spine is likely weak and in peril. Unless you have a burning need to thumb through it, I'd leave it as-is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
