Very good info! Thanks!
Appreciate the knowledge video mate 👍🔥🤘 Thanks for sharing 👍
No problem 👍
Some people like to buy/collect purple-label comic books just because they on average run about 50% of the value of the blue label. I however have zero tolerance for purple-label comics. I can't tell you the pure outrage I had when I sent in books to CGC for grading which I had owned for 20+ years and they came back with color restoration on them. Comics like X-Men #1, X-Men 10, and Silver Surfer #4 to name just a few. I gave them away for essentially a cheeseburger just because I wanted nothing to do with them. But, people should buy/collect what they want that makes them happy, and if that comes with a purple label, so be it.
i will buy the purple labels from you
Found a purple label Hulk 181 I was thinking about pulling the trigger on. We know how much you love working on 181s!
Depending - might or might not be able to help
My personality would be to only collect purple labels, if I actually liked graded comics at all...
I agree with your pov about considering amateur restoration as damage. That would make things much easier to understand. Professional restoration and conservation is an accepted practice in all other art forms, so I'm not sure why pro restoration/conservation (i.e. deacidification or light rice paper application) is somehow considered the same thing as using a sharpie to color the cover. If pro restoration/conservation is good enough for Rembrandt then it's good enough for my comics. 😉
Thanks 🙏
For people who aren't speculators, purple labels are a great value (I'm not sure why I would volunteer to pay more for a comic). All things are relative, but a small color touch or cleaned cover is just a part of the history of the book. As a silver age guy, the part that makes these books valuable is their history, they made kids happy, they were not concerned with value, they just put it in their pocket.
Well said
It's quite the mental gymnastics as you say. To me, Pressing and cleaning should be viewed as restoration by their logic. By cleaning and pressing books, you're removing damage the book has collected over the years. Water is bad, but eraser is good? It's just silly. I guess they have to give collecters some leeway. If people thought cgc was going hit them for cleaning and pressing, they might be less inclined to send books in.
I have approximately 30 restored graded comics and I love the fact some are worth hundreds without the color touch. i paid less than 30 bucks for most of them because people use to let them go dirt cheap. Not as cheap anymore. Use to get them as low as 10% now it seems everyone wants at least 50% or more.
Yeah 40-50% is common now
The big difference between "Restored" and "Conserved" is you can reverse a conserved book if needed.
Not true. There is conserved cover cleaning A good luck getting the tanning back on
It depends on the book for me to buy a resto book. Dry cleaning and pressing (properly done) is not resto to me. The rest is a conversation
PLOD.... Purple label of death.... Same thing...😒
Who died and left CGC comic god? They have lost their mantle after the latest scam.
