But either way it's in a purple label, so it's not that much of a difference. Am I misunderstanding how much you hate trimming? No you just have completely misunderstood the whole point of this convo and I refuse to explain it a 10th time to you

Not at all. Yes there is risk but if this comic was not originally trimmed then the slight/mod resto could be taken off eventually without it coming back trimmed.

THANK YOU, GOODNIGHT! You nailed it Darth. Not thank you lol My whole point is if you buy a restored comic to take the resto off then shouldn't you be aware that by doing this the comic will come back as trimmed. We are all aware of the risks of taking resto off and people do this as a business but not knowing it was trimmed is not a risk the buyer should have to take as it should be noted

	@matterus023 what you're looking for is a guarantee that removes the risk. Having the trim fix always noted. I can tell you, you won't get that from CGC, they want extra money for the notes. As for CBCS, we need to get an official answer as to if this info is in the grader notes. Without an answer, or someone providing a sample book with that exact work done where we can look up the serial number it is just speculation.

But my point is valid regarding this. When trimmed comics are turned into untrimmed comics it should be mentioned no matter what. I know work that has been done by people regarding this and it is not noted. You don't have to take my word but I will not name names on here as very unprofessional. Like I said I see nothing wrong with restorers doing this it is the grading companies that are at fault here imo. Others may not see things the same.

This logic can apply to anything though. I could say when you buy ANY raw comic to slab and increase value that you are taking the risk when buying it that it isn't trimmed or restored. But a good seller should note this if they know. So a professional grading company especially should note this.

If on this point I can be proved wrong then great but I know that in all the cases I know about it isn't noted. Still happy to be shown in other cases it has been noted Plus in the world of comics I don't care if people trim comics, restore them, press them for value. I mean whatever helps pay your bills. Just nice to have all the facts and figures though

Yes I have seen examples Darth. But as courtesy to the restorer/s I won't mention the comics as not professional. I appreciate here I am asking you to take my word on it and you are in your rights not to. But would be an odd thing for me to make up

	@matterus023 I don't have any experience to draw from regarding CBCS slabbed restored books. So I don't question what you have seen. I would say to CBCS if it's true you don't describe such work in the notes that needs to change. More information is always better.

It is a very very small % of times this would happen where someone may want to remove resto on a comic which was previously trimmed but regardless it should be mentioned. Also some would like to know in general. Phew we finally got here lol. I still don't believe Swampy has a clue what I am talking about

	@MR_SigS That's pretty much what I was trying to get at when I said if someone is intending to undo resto, they need to get an estimate of what's been done to it by whoever they intend to hire before any work is done. That would prevent a costly mistake.

If you buy a comic with ONLY pieces added why should you now have the added worry that if you get a professional restorer to take the work off to get a blue label (or a restorer themselves buy it do do) why should you get burned with now a still restored trimmed comic?? It would be very simple on the notes for it to say the pieces added in this case were to cover that this comic was infact trimmed. Is no one seeing my point on this seriously? I mean lets say someone took a UK edition comic, painted over the d and put cents and added the date on the comic. So it is restored with colour touch. Would you not want to know you are buying a uk edition comic that has just been worked on to look like a cents copy. I mean it seems to me that others just feel this is the buyers tough luck. Not at all it is up to the grading companies if they have spotted this to note it.

Your beef isn't with us and our opinion of the buyers responsibility in assuming the risk with the ventures of crackling PLODS. Your beef is with the grading companies. If you really want results on this issue then contact the customer service of CGC and CBCS and tell them that this is something that concerns you and you'd like for them to address it in the way they make their graders notes. In the meantime, if anyone chooses to crack PLODS then just know that you are taking a risk and be prepaired for not having it go as you planned. Every venture entered into for profit has risks of failure, that's just the way it is.

Every venture entered into for profit has risks of failure, that's just the way it is. This, and that's that. Of course every defect should be noted and available,but if the description is vague and the buyer claims it anyway, that's on the buyer. It's like buying a car advertised as being "handed down from a relative- told it needs work". Would a buyer think, "Hmm, doesn't say what it needs, but I'll assume it needs new tires, so I'll buy it then check it out." Should the seller have mentioned there was no engine? You bet, but he didn't and the car was paid for anyway. Not mentioning what the car needs is on the relative. Poor advertising is on the seller. Purchasing a vaguely described expensive item is on the buyer. Bottom line, sure all grading companies should describe in detail everything they learned while grading the book. But if they DON'T, buyer beware.

	My whole point has been missed. If a comic is slight/slight/mod and a customer wants the resto taken off then it should be a 100% certainty that if all the resto is taken off it comes back as a blue. Not if you take all the resto off it comes back as resto still. Doesn't matter this has become boring lol @DarthLego I appreciate you saying you agree it should be noted. As I have also said I have no beef with anyone on here about it. To begin with it was just a passing comment about this which then took me a fair few messages to show that it happens then felt like I had to explain endlessly why it would be annoying to a potential buyer. Now others are saying taking resto involves risks. Well this is very clear to everyone. This was not my point. Taking all the resto off and still being left with a resto copy isn't a necessary risk it is extremely unfair.

CBCS and CGC can't detect trimming or pressing 100% of the time but you want this type of thing, which happens to 0.00000000001% of all 3.5 million comics ever slabbed, to be 100%? Your request is unreasonable.

But you bought it as restored so you haven't lost anything. You were just dumb enough to spend money trying to change a PLOD into a Blue. That's on the buyer, they have to take personal responsibility for their actions and realize that greed got them into this situation in the first place.

	I'm out. Thanks for the chat. Plus i never mentioned pressing to be noted. Plus asking if trimming covered up for it to be mentioned in the notes is hardly asking too much. Your whole argument is a contradiction. So it never happens (what you said) but it is asking far too much/unreasonable for when it does to add a couple more words on notes. Wow what an ask. Your points make no sense at all mate
