Another great video. Night and day difference in the presentation and preservation! I would be thrilled to own this conserved comic book! I really like how your staple replacement has evolved to include re-curving the staple arms to have a natural bend as they should from manufacture. It's the accumulation of these little details that results in such a finely-conserved comic book! Personally i think it will grade higher than you estimated. 👍🏽
Thank you, Dr. Paul! I should have a grade on it this week. I’ll be curious if it’s a purple label or a conservative label. It did have a lot of work done to it but for $40 spent on it I think it was money well invested. This is one of my favorite covers of an EC horror book. So I will definitely share with you as soon as I know the grade.
Great job with your scalpel carefully trimming the Japan paper to reveal the back cover spine area piece out hole.
Thank you Allan!
