OO collection and the "L"

[whomerjay]

So, if anyone bought this book, would you get it restored? I think I might...

 

looks nice as is to me

maybe not the best resto candidate

Centerfold and cover detatched?

 

can't tell in the slab.

 

If restored, you just have a Suspense 3 with cover and cf detached +glue+ restapled. not worth it IMO.

I'm not a big resto person but I like my books with attached covers. I would definitely take the opportunity to crack the slab before submission to the restorer and read the book if it wasn't brittle.

 

In the case of something like a Suspense 3, would it be worth going from 1.5 as is to say 6.0 Extensive(P)? What would that do to the book's value? I can't ever do the calculations and all that stuff correctly. Nor do I have the slightest idea about resto anyway. Although I think I'm gonna get the cover reattached on a Fantastic 5 I have. It's a beaut and I want to read it without damaging it worse. But that's not even in the same league.

He just posted a Suspense #3. It's a 1.5, but a VERY presentable 1.5.

GPA on this book was $3,346, do you think it will go higher as its not a bad looking 1.5 copy. Also, do you really think this is a Gerber 8? There are 7 different grades in GPA alone, 9 in the census.

I think its safe to say, at this point its gerber 8 status is shaky at best.

Maybe I'm naive but I bet it goes for less. This seller is killing themselves with listing all these huge books at once. I'd say Gerber 8 with the insert BTW.

This copy is MUCH more attractive than the 1.5 that sold for $3.346. That copy had a large, ragged, hideously ugly chunk out of the top of the cover, and red tape all along the spine.

Thought it was the same book. Probably would have been better to throw this book on Comic Link with an asking price of $4,200. Chances are he could probably net more than $3,346 that way. I think there are a few board members here who consider this to be a grail purchase.

I'll be bidding on some of the books that will be ending later. So, if anyone wins, please post here about how the seller handled invoicing and shipping. Thanks.
