PGM All-Flash #28

[blutobc]

I've got a few golden age books I need a little help on.....

So anyone's comments on the following book are welcome, thanks.

 

Please estimate your App. Grade as there has been some restoration to this book.

Feel free to shout out the resto if you can see it?

I'll spill the beans on the restro in a day or so.

I'd say 4.5 but can't see the resto you're speaking of... I see a crease running thru the middle of the cover horizontally. Does that have anything to do with the resto ??

[BrianR]

Is it a water stain running from the flash's lower foot to his upper leg or a large piece added? I can see a 2X in the lower corner.

color touch along the bottom edge

[blutobc]

No one has nailed it yet. I just did a color invert and it's quite obvious then.

But then again I know where to look...so maybe I'm cheating.

Tear seals bottom rt.?

 

Looks like a 4.5 to me.

trimmed top right corner!

Apparent SP 4.5

 

Colour touch along spine and tear seal bottom

[143ksk]

There's definitely been pieces added and color touch at the top and bottom of the spine. You can see the color mismatch best on the back cover. I would give it a MA 4.5. I wonder why the chip from the top right edge wasn't fixed? Maybe it occured after the resto?

Pretty Close answers!!!!!

 

*Color touch to top left corner of FC and in title of FC, "APRIL".

*spine seal/repair to top and bottom of spine...texture changes are due to the repair, not color touch.

*You can't see it in the scans but the staples were reinforced.

 

This book may have gone through different hands for the resto. The spine/staple work looks tons better than the color touch. I don't know if the corner chip occurred later or was beyond the ability of the restorer???
