OA restoration

[fable]

Has anyone here ever had a piece of OA restored in any way? There is always a lot of talk about this regarding comics, but not so much with OA.

 

I ask as i have several pieces with missing stats that i would like to replace, as well as others with glue stains that i'd love to have removed. The third problem i have is with stats that have the glue showing through, staining the stat itself - is there any way to have this fixed?

I have owned pieces of original art from ASM #6 (the famous dog eaten issue) that had pieces replaced to the borders and restoration has no effect on value. And these pages were the most extreme examples of restoration I have seen to date.

 

OA is unique in an of itself, unless you are replacing large sections of the art area or having a piece re-inked (and done by anyone other than the original artist) there is usually no issue amongst the majority of collectors and restoration.

 

Cleaning glue stains and replacing non-original art stats is really a non issue to me. It really doesn't effect the artwork at all...value wise or value perception.

Without having seen the pieces in question, the problems you've described are all pretty easy fixes for a professional. PM me and I can hopefully point you in the right direction.
