Here is my copy.

 

That is a beautiful looking 2.0.

Any history behind picking up this piece of history, for you personally?

So I had Kenny remove the tape that was on the inside spine and the little bit that was on the outside and a dry cleaning. There was athletic or medical tape on the bottom half of the inside which was removed. No restoration though. The spine is completely split otherwise so it is basically a 1.0. Different lighting makes the colors look a little different.

nice job!

It wouldn't be better than a 1.0 right?

Wow, that book looks much nicer and more presentable. Good job Kenny and congrats Ankur! I think it might have a shot at a 1.5

Can a fully split spine receive a 1.5?

Gotcha. I think a blue 1.0 is better than a 8.0 extensive resto

Man, I gotta get you a better pic, I took that with my iphone before it was even pressed.

It really does look nicer now, that exposed Medical tape was a sticky mess.

not that I've seen or received. Fully split spine seems like a "ceiling" defect that CGC automatically says 1.0 at very best even if eye appeal is much nicer.

While mr primetime is probably right, NOT SO, the last Sup 1, on CLINK, or HA, or CC, was a 1.5 with cover completely split,

I think

of course!

All extensives are far from created equally ...

The tec 33 coming up in comic connect's auction in August has a completely split spine with a 1.5.....
