Tomahawk #63 - this comic is special to me because it's the first "old" comic I ever got. My grandfather gave it to me when I was about 8, and it had been his. I read the crap out of it, re-stapled it myself, etc. When I actually started collecting, I dug it out, and realized I wanted to have a better quality copy of it. Here's a scan of my better copy:![]() For comparison, here's my original well-loved copy: ![]() |

Quote:Originally Posted by vacaboca Nice books and great story. The lower grade copy would definitely come back as restored if you changed the staples. Probably a 1.0-1.5 restored if complete. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Despain I didn't CHANGE the staples, I (as a child) literally stapled the book to help keep it together... if you zoom in on the image, I think the original staples are still there, and then there's a "bonus" staple lower down and about 1/4" off the spine. I think it would be funny for that to be logged as restoration, though I guess that makes sense. I could remove the staple before submission - I'm not sure it's actually doing anything other than maybe helping with a spine split? I'll have to take it out and take a look. |

| @vacaboca I see. Added staples. I guess they would be considered as reinforcement kind of like tape added to reinforce the spine? Anyway, it's still a cool book with a great personal story. That's what matters most. |

| @vacaboca @Despain is on the right track there; taking a stapler to it is not restoration or conservation. It's treated like tape, just another defect to the grade ![]() |

Quote:Originally Posted by vacaboca With a story like that, nope. Doesnt sound like you would sell the book anyways. I did all kinds of taping as a kid to my GL#1 and sent it as-is without removal. Think I even drew on it with a pencil in a few spots, but didnt want a presser removing that either. Memories, man! |

Quote:Originally Posted by shrewbeer Thanks for the advice - I agree. This definitely wouldn't be for selling... Ideally I'd get a double-slab frame and display them together. Maybe I'll submit them later this year... certainly if I do it will all be posted here |

| I think an added staple left in is more desirable than removing it, right? | ||
