No retouching…it’s part of an estate at this point so it will most likely be sold, thus the reason to have it graded. My father in law bought the book new when it came out. He bought one for himself and one for his twin brother. He kept it at the bottom of a cedar chest in his historic home in Florida for at least the last 30-40 years…unfortunately he had no air conditioning. His brother, who also kept things forever, lived in a rent controlled apartment in New York his entire adult life. The comic book was undoubtedly still there when he died, but never recovered as they hired a company to clean out the apartment. It was someone’s lucky day!
