Other than replacing the cord (a must), getting it working properly and just minor cleaning, I would leave it alone. It looks great the way it is. People like them original. It has honest patina and is real. Resto, like comics, can hurt it’s future value. Did my wife talk to you? That is her opinion too Maybe I will take the buffer to it and see if it shines up. I can try it on the back 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you gently clean with soap & water and dry throughly, maybe try a little quality car wax if you must. Try on back first. I would just leave it alone… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post frozentundraguy Posted July 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 7, 2022 Acquired this book two weeks ago, but there were some minor delays getting the book as the seller was out of town. Worth the wait as the book presents pretty well. Math Teacher, comicjack, Courageous Cat and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gino2paulus2 Posted July 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) I will definitely be double posting this one!! This book which is the Harvey Kurtzman File copy was graded back in Feb of 2003 so almost 20 years ago and I gotta say it presents very well for a 1.8. The old holder has a bit of scuffing especially over the “4” and the label on top is peeling off so i’m trying to decide whether to simply reholder or just crack and resub altogether. I wouldn’t mind leafing through it though and taking some interior pics so i’m leaning towards crack and resub at some point after i’ve had some fun with it. Did I mention only 7 on the census 🤟😎 Edited July 8, 2022 by gino2paulus2 ThothAmon, Point Five, comicjack and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
