The only thing about a baseball card is what it looks like, and how it got that way. A comic also has a printed story, and many pictures, a cover and DREADFUL paper. If your comic is falling apart, it makes sense to have the cover re-attached. A tear could be mended in such a way as to make it more legible. ANYWAY< I can undersdtand that restrored comics have value--but not, you'll notice, as high as unrestored ones in the same condition.

Actually, I have a fall, 1975 "Arcade" that never got brown, brfore or after I put it in mylar. It has the best collecting story of all time in it, by R. Crumb. It's about a phonograph record, and it's called "That's Life!"
