GA Superman CPR with Collection Recognition 1 1

[artlyprinted]

Hello dear collectors,

i recently bought a Superman 45 from the Bobby Blue Collection. I really want to do some CPR on it because it can be improved very well. My only concern is it will not get the recognition as Bobby Blue Collection after CPR. Or will it be no problem if i sent in the old cgc label with the new submission?

Not too sure if CPR means Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or some sort of restoration but either way this book needs neither.

Leave it alone.  The book grades a solid 6.5 with nice PQ.  Why would you want to muck it up by "restoring" it?

That collection tends to have heavy tanning on the inside of the covers.  That can hold the grade down a bit.  It's not a super high value book, so you have to factor in recertification costs, so seems like a bit of a gamble.  If you send the label in you should be able to maintain the collection status.

Not sure how cracked out CGC books are treated. I assume they would probably retain the pedigree. One thing is for sure, they definately would if you let them preform “the work”.

But, I am of the opinion of the previous poster. Just leave it alone. Very nice book the way it is.

CPR is Clean - Press - Resubmit or Renew. My intention is not to restore it. I was thinking about cleaning it to achieve a even nicer eye appeal.

Keep in mind that a clean and press is not necessarily a benign procedure...

I'd be interested in hearing the story of the "Bobby Blue" collection.

Why? So you can maybe get a higher made up number? This grading stuff is the worst thing that's ever happened to comics.

Not to mention that there is also a problem with the CGC encapsulation process (bend gate)

  I presume this is not related to the entry way of a boundary barrier, but rather some of sort of concern with the slabbing process?

Yes.  Problem with the slabbing process.  Long thread in Comics General.

I totally agree. I love the old days when we bought and sold comics without even needing to grade them first. Heck, there was nothing better than passing off some piece of karp, torn up book to a fellow comic collector and taking their beautiful, shiny, unworn comic in trade. Since there was no grading each book was equal in value! Man, those were the days!!!!

And tape wasn’t considered a “defect”…

Too bad it isn't from the Badfinger "Baby Blue" collection...
