Cover cleaning...

[G.A.tor]

hello all...

correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that cover cleaning is restoration...in a "friendly" debate with a fellow collector over such issue, and hoped some folks could shed some light. He claims that 2 books he sent to cgc that had the cover cleaned came back blue label (don't have specifics, just a "claim")...I assured him cgc would note such with a purple label...so, the answer is?

please advise

if the cover was dry cleaned and not detached from the interior if would not count as restoration

To be more precise, many collectors and dealers consider dry cleaning to be restoration. CGC and many other collectors and dealers do not. I personally consider removal of any defect to be restoration, which would include dry cleaning.

I've cleaned my covers with solution.

I know I probably should have not. But oh well.

Dry or solvent, but not aqueous cleaning?

I have a Superman #30 and a Batman #21 that I am going to keep for my personal collection. I was wondering who can I send these books to for cleaning and pressing? These books are probably going to get slabbed, don't really care if it's in a purple or blue label for they most likely will stay in my collection for years.
