Post your favorite RESTORED book from your collection!

My favorite, cover reglossed...and that's it to my knowledge, but I'd really need to take a close look for anything else.

This is my favorite. CGC 6.0 Moderate P (Sorry about my poor scan)

 

That is my favorite restored book, too!

That's a real looker, CD - Planet 1 is one of THE "golden" Golden Age books (I love it) IMHO.

 

FYI, Jon Berk has a link to the original art (posted today) over in the Fiction House thread. Wander over and feast your eyes...

Sweet!

Boy, ask a question like that and you're just twisting my arm for me to show this again:

 

[Timely]

OUCH!!! that's got to hurt!! My arm!!!

 

You can see the ink that has bled through on the top LHC and top edge of the book, otherwise that's it. I should have the book in my hands next week so if this technically doesn't qualify as color touch but instead is treated as an ink stain I might have hit the jackpot? Should start a thread on this.

 

AWESOME SPLASH PAGE! Just on more reason to collect Timely's

You know, that's just not fair.

Don't forget that you have color touch at the staple and along the bottom edge too.

Yeah what a shame, looks like a graded side of beef.

I love all of my restored books that I knowingly purchased as restored so it is difficult to

limit the list to one. I would have to go with the All-American Comics #16. It was my

first CGC graded book purchased in the summer of 2000.

 

 

[Point Five]

Eye-popping books in this thread, guys!

 

And collectively, I think they make a pretty strong case for learning to live with resto once in a while.

My only restored book:

 

I don't think I would buy another restored book unless it saves me 60K like this one. I don't think I would ever buy a trimmed or pieces added book either.

[Filter81]

NICE book, CoolJ! I really wanted to pick that one up when it was for sale! If you ever decide you'd consider trading that book for a nice unrestored GA key or something send me a PM!
