Yeh, there's lots of places along the spine that where touched up by a black sharpie. GL's right arm has a big area filled in as well. All the ct has bleed through also. Any idea what I could sell this copy for? I don't have much experience selling restored comics.
For a non key book, as a general Rule of Thumb I go with about 25% of the unrestored FMV. I know it sounds stupid but I have intentionally sent in some key books with CT to get graded by CGC. I think it is an easier sell in the slab if the book grades out and the buyer knows the full extent of the resto. If this were a Marvel I would suggest getting it signed by Stan Lee (LOL) !
+1 It's a not shabby GL4, so in a slab will do fine for resale.

My LCS got in a very solid raw VG Green Lantern #1 last week - dime sized dark stain on cover and some interior edge tanning, but a really nice looking book for the grade.
I know many collectors focus on the Showcase 22-24 (great books), but is this an issue worth pursuing?
