What are you restoring? (if it’s OK to ask).
A 1970 Camaro Z28, does my screen name make sense now? I've had the car for 37 years now while my comic collection was built between the late 60's to the early 90's I hope that its OK to post a pic of it here-

Nice! Something that will give you years of pleasure every day.
During Covid, I rebuilt and restored a ‘49 Indian Scout. I funded it by selling off a bunch of books that really ment nothing to me. I never dipped into my “core” collection at all. Very happy with my decision…
Very cool, that's a rare bike. My car is in the resto shop now, the time and $$$$ are sure to add up!

My younger daughter will turn my collection into vintage muscle cars as fast as she gets the money. And, hey, I’m OK with that. Heck, I’ve been tempted myself…
I love it. I'm in the process of selling the bulk of my collection to restore my vintage muscle car.

Around 30 years ago I worked on drum scanners at several color houses, to avoid newtons rings when scanning transparencies we would apply a light dusting of scanning powder to the mounting surface of the transparency (Kodachrome or Ektachrome slides, 2x3 or larger professional transparencies) when mounting to the scanning drum. This worked quite well unless you were enlarging the scan about 300-400% then you would oil mount the transparency to avoid enlarging the powder grains. Obviously oil mounting collectables is out of the question, but since slabbed books are not going under a microscope perhaps a similar product could be used when encapsulating comics? I'm not sure if scanning powder is even available anymore as by the late '90's-early 2000's digital cameras pretty much moved drum scanning to the dustbin.

Thanks!

Can I make a pedigree request, or is that something that is assigned after submission?

The only copy of Action #1 that I ever saw was when I was in College at the University of Oregon in the early 80's. The owner of the local comic shop Emerald City Comics took me down the street to his safety deposit box and showed me his prized stash which also included copies of Reform School Girls #1 and Batman #47 as I recall. He had purchased his copy in 1979 for $6000.00 which merited a story in the Wall Street Journal. It was a F-VF copy as I remember. I lost touch with him over the years and heard that he sold his business and his copy of Action #1, although I have not confirmed this. My very first GA book that I purchased in 1979 that I still have-
