Bad amateur restoration - ink on edge lines

I have about two dozen old Batman and Detective comics from the 1950s. Someone attempted some bad amateur restoration by using a black felt tip marker - they tried to draw over some of the edge lines and dark areas on the covers. Aside from the restoration ink damage, most of these comics are in the VG to VG+ range. What does this ink damage do to their value and condition? Thanks for any info. |

Spine split on newer comics

I have 100s of Batman and Detective Comics dating from the early 60s to present. I've noticed that in the early 90s the comics seemed to change paper stock, thickness, number of pages, etc. As a result, dozens of these Batman comics have a crease instead of a slightly rounded spine. And that crease has split - I see a white line where the ink has split apart. It is very thin. Most of these comics are in the 9.0 to 9.2 range - other then this spline split. What does this do to the value and grading?
Thanks for any info! |
