Hello everyone this will be my first post and first topic  I have a question please, i recently got this sub mariner #1 low grade and the cover on it is weird, when i look other covers he doesn't have the same line on his head or his hands, it's like he's more hairy . Am i crazy or is it because of water damage. Thank you for your help   |

| Does it look like someone drew over the cover art? Maybe after it faded, someone tried fixing it. |

| @Boiron looking st the oi tures the covers are the same more or less your talking about a book that was printed in the 60s sometime it will fade and look off for sure if it wasn't properly takencare of and I don't know of many placed trying to make a fake and low 3.0 ish grade cover for any book. It could also be that someone tried to use a marker to fix issues etc.. I know I did as a kid not thinking about the value of a book from back in the day as a 6 year old and all lol | ||

Sure looks like someone drew over the cover art to me. Perfect example of amateur restoration!  |

| Yeah water can expand the colors on older books honestly no way for me to tell with a picture nore am I an expert by any stretch but you'd have to have it checked out by a professional either way even if it's a restored (poorly) label its still a cool book to have | ||

| @Kasperb991 Thanks for the explanation, i will try to find a cleaner and send it to him. Whatever label it gets is okay (i never tried sending a comic to cbcs/cgc the shipping/customs are too expensive ) for me it will go directly in my PC. |

 Where's his Bat-package?

| I've been able to help buyers with customs when a book goes to an international buyer. When you fill out a customs form, make sure that you put "printed matter" in the description. There are a LOT of countries - including the EU - where printed matter is not charged customs duties. Best of all, this is NOT customs fraud. Whether a comic is in a slab or not, it is still printed matter and thus duty free. | ||

| @Byrdibyrd That's very interesting thank you for that trick. I ordered a comic at 7ate9 i will try to ask them if they can do that. | ||

| @Boiron I hope it works for you. I often sell on eBay, and even when they pre-fill the customs form with the title of the listing (guaranteed to get charged customs duties) I can delete that and put "printed matter" in its place. It's very easy, and no risk because the description is still accurate. | ||
