Thread: 7 day value, restore vs. improve

That set is in pretty good shape! I working on a set very similar to yours right now. As Glenn suggested, just clean them up and they will look new. On synthetic materials, I will use a polymer wax. I use a Renaissance wax on natural materials. Your case can be cleaned up also. In today's market, I think you would be disappointed if you sold them individually. I agree also with using them. With not much work, you will have a very nice set.

Honestly I would say clen them up and use them as is. they are in pretty nice shape and it would be a shame to break up that set.

On a related note I don't think I would look twice at them individually, there isn't anyhting really special about them. I think the greatest bulk of their value is as a matched set.

what about the date markings on the spines? any ideas on how that could be redone? saturday is almost entirely impossible to make out. It's still clear they're a set, but I'd like to find a way to restore the markings.

I'll just keep them out of the wives sight for a while.

Take lots of detailed pictures, sand them off, and then have someone etch them back.
Won't be cheap or easy, but there is little else you can do I think.
