the OFFICIAL it's restored and I don't care thread!

[PovertyRow]

Nice book!

 

Based on the scan, restoration was beautifully done. Very nice!

[ninanina]

..and where the hell is ninanina? We're all forced to read about your damn FF1 and JL 1 on your sig line, might as well post them!!!!

 

Here I am and hey, I got rid of that signature line a long time ago.

 

I tried scanning it once after someone offered to help me post it and my scanner made it look just awful. So, for the record, it's a heavily professionally restored apparent VF that I got In trade for lotsa stuff I didn't want in my collection anymore. As per many other posts, I never ever would or could put out the money for an unrestored VF and it was nice to get in trade for lotsa stuff I got a long time ago - cheap, but knew I could use it in trade for something I really wanted. (Got my Justice league #1 the same way.)

 

And it's nice to know there's other people who "don't care if it's restored"

Surely someone else must have one to share?

We don't talk about our PLOD's...if anything they show up on the Grading and REsto Forum as: Grade this FF48 or Grade this silver age key... and end up getting dumped real fast on eBay as "unrestored"

Bronty...if I had the bucks I would certainly be lodging a bid on this bad boy...

 

Perhaps murpho will swoop in and grab this baby...

 

One nice freakin' resto book...

That book needs to be put down.

Just because of the tear seal? Not a very intrusive resto job(!)

Here's a sweet (and rare) book I have, and it's for sale (shameless plug).

I can make out "color touch" and "pieces added" but not the thrid entry. What are the restoration notes?

[fantastic_four]

probably "reinforced"

[PovertyRow]

probably "reinforced"

 

It LOOKS like that but I don't see any noun preceding what may be "reinforced" - like "staples reinforced". It is a book that reeks cooliosity, though!

i think it says "vortox"... ...I could be wrong though...

Yeah - it kind of reminds me of that ebay Action GA super-sweet scan!

Hopefully lighthouse will supply a scan of the book in your "Have a Cigar" thread once he recieves it....

Seriously - would love to see that scan. Granted there are brittle pages but still - 40 odd bucks for a Supe WWII book - just the opportunity to read it a few times seems worth it.
