| Nice books. Wish I could afford a .5 in any of these. I’d be interested to see better pics (to satisfy my curiosity). Personally I’m iffy on resto, but I’m all for conservation of books. Aside from piece fill they are more conserved than restored. I say nay to the trimmed, color touched, franken books. Welcome to the forum.

| I know that everyone has their own preferences, but if given the option, I will take an original Key book that is beautifully restored to present like a six figure high grade every time vs an ugly low grade copy, but that's just me. |

Quote:Originally Posted by RedKnight You mean "mostly original" I think, since parts of the comic were added. My "ugly low grade" AF 15 & FF1 are beat up, but everything is original. These do look great, though. Any chance we can know who did the work? |

| For a little background on me, I have done extremely well on the CGC boards and ebay in the past. So I have never had much of a need to try the CBCS boards out until now. So, there has been a bit of a revolution against the CGC restoration grading department this past year with most resto guys and resto book collectors on the boards swearing off of using them. CGC is doing a horrible job grading and even detailing some of the work or even quality of work right. Worst part is they have been seemingly very easy on their in house grading team, but screw over everyone else sending in high quality resto work, so that partisan conflict of interest is pissing everyone off. Until something changes, I won't be sending my resto books to them again. Had not tried CBCS out in a few years, it was OK on my last experience, just not really motivated to switch from CGC until recently for all resto books. For my first report, This experience was absolutely amazing, CBCS has 10X the customer service process/skills and far better/speedy turnaround times and they are fair and consistent and know their stuff on restoration a lot better than the newer graders over at CGC. So I think I am here to stay and that is why I decided I better start using these boards since offering CBCS slabs on the CGC boards have always been a non starter. LOL Thanks to everyone that has welcomed me over. I did not know CBCS boards allowed CGC book sales or I might have come over much earlier. |

| They look great, the AF15 looks really good. No trimming, original staples (unless they missed it). Those of you that don’t care for restoration probably would have great trouble if you saw what they do to paintings, old books, furniture etc... I think if there is transparency it’s good. An unrestored AF 15 in that grade is so expensive. I have a interest in a AF 15 exactly like this on the radar but it’s a bit too soon. Is trade in any form an option?? Regardless best of luck I would be happy with that AF 15. |

| Actually I swear they never miss new staples, if anything 3/4 times they are the same exact original staples they came with and they get it wrong when they say they are replaced (they always err on the side of caution) same with cleaning and glossing, my guy never ever does that, but more than half the time they say its been done just in case. I might consider a cash/trade type deal for the Hulk/FF, AF 15 is my only copy so I am not super excited to sell that one, but if its mostly cash with some trade I might give it a listen. Thanks for the interest! | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by KYDU Are you referring to necessary conservation, or perhaps well-executed restoration? It's fairly well established that poorly executed restoration severely downgrades the value of an object, particularly when it's so outrageously poor/ham-fisted that it may not be reversible without even further damaging the object. |

Quote:Originally Posted by RedKnightI dont really have a horse in this race, as I have these books already, but one thing I will say about this comment....there are no ugly low grade copies. They are all gorgeous examples of writing and art that are the basis for many of our collecting themes still today ...some might be in worse shape, and some better, but none of them are UGLY |
