Quote:Originally Posted by PhilCoulsonI think I did. After a whole lot of looking in different lights and from different angles, I think I found a little dot that may have been the color touch. But that was a long time ago and now I can't remember exactly where it was. Somewhere in the black, pretty sure. I do remember looking at the inside of the covers and seeing no sign of any color bleed-through back before I sent it in. |

| The only purple label book I have is my Madame Xanadu #1. It's the only purple label copy on the census, which I did not know when I bought it. | ||

| @CatCovers That's what makes me so curious about the "restoration" label. Why not just doc the grade if some kid took a marker and colored in a light spot 30 years ago and grade the comic as-is. | ||

 Hmm... Moderated again!

Quote:Originally Posted by CatCovers A1 restoration can generally be removed, and at 5.0 could probably be done without grade loss. That's exactly how mine went from Restored (purple) to Conserved (blue/gray). If the color touch was the only thing done, and you had it removed, that Batman 42 would go from Restored to Universal. |

@figment I’ve thought about doing that. But I keep having flashbacks of seeing books with color touch removed that look like someone let Edward Scissorhands handle the job.  |

| The only way to fix color touch is to make a hole. I find the stigma of color touch ridiculous because when 98% of color touch happened, it was just innocent like writing your own name at the top of the splash page. I find the price penalty they get ridiculous, and the cure worse than the disease. | ||

| I'll be honest, I am currently looking at books that have very minor restoration. The restoration stigma tends to bring the books closer to my price range, and I don't mind it.I know, there are folks out there that hate the thought of a restored book, I felt that way for many years. To each his own. | ||

I love restored books in high grade just as much as universal HG's (below are two CBCS with no purple blush and one from CGC)...      |

 This is my only purple label. I bought the book a few years ago raw, and forgot that there was some color touch, and then sent it in for grading. |
