| The corner piece was fallen irretrievably so i decided to leave the book without rather than stick it with tape or glue. Who agree? This books looks so proud even with a missing piece  |

| It is a bit unfortunate that fear of “restoration” results in chunks missing / not properly reattached. It is partly the fault of how restoration is often inadequately described. A piece added that is reproduction is very, very different in my opinion vs a reattached piece of the original. I’d personally prefer a professionally reattached piece than the chunk missing… |

| Oh, I definitely would, too. "Professionally" being the key word, though. | ||

| I don't have an issue with conservation or restoration done correctly, but I don't think that book needs it (barring any unseen problems). I do think that if you were going to have it conserved, it should be done by a professional. | ||

| A piece of tape holding a small chunk of a cover should not result in getting a restored grade. Many blue labels have tape on their covers, inside and/or outside. CBCS would note the presence of the tape on the label and in the grader’s notes. CGC stopped noting defects like this on their labels a few years ago, but should still include it in their grader’s notes. | ||

| I agree with @esaravo. I'd buy some archival safe tape and put a small piece on the back cover attaching it back to the cover. Then send it in to Cbcs to get slabbed. |

Quote:Originally Posted by esaravoYes. This is smart play to get the most value. @Jr1776 if you hopefully still have the corner you can attach it with a piece of scotch tape on the inside. I have seen blue labels like this often. Missing cover and Resto will hurt the value more |

 If I could, I would. I swear.
