RESTORATION:
Unless it's blatantly obvious (and seriously, it's gotta be really
blatant) we just can't tell when a comic has been restored, i.e. color
touch, cropping, pressing and the like. We don't work for CGC, CBCS,
PGX, or any other company that grades comics professionally, which for
some reason is assumed at times, so we just don't have this skill. When
we assign a grade to any comic that we sell, it's just our opinion. We
have of course did our reading on Overstreet grading, so we feel like
we've got a semi-good handle on it, but we aren't always right,
especially on older lower grade books. Those are tough.
