  1. Agreed. Who will press Modern Age books beyond 1997? So few key issues in late 90's to early 2000. 2004 Walking Dead #1 is easily pressed due to non-glossy white/black pages.
  2. I will watch it for you. Hope it will go same thing with other boards.

  4. I assumed this book that you bought before it was stolen. https://www.ebay.com/itm/WOLVERINE-145-NABISCO-VARIANT-CGC-9-2-NM-SS-SIGNED-BY-SIENKIEWICZ-MARVEL-KEY-/254391183175?hash=item3b3ae56747%3Ag%3ASgkAAOSw1nVdp4t4&nma=true&si=RMsQpC2KGM6wUd1QVzb55GjsAfk%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
  5. The owner pulled his collection out of the sale twice in 2014 and 2016. Not it's not great time to sell it. The time is running out. BTW, Batman #1 seemed to have color touches on red letters and artworks.
  6. That is amazing what you went through those places had many histories. I didn't want to work with the pressing machines for the rest of my life. However it was very educational for us.
  7. What years did you work with those pressing machines? My last year was 1988 before I graduated from my college. The technologies of the pressing machines have so much changed. My old comany was Elkhorn Webpress in Wisconsin and is now under the different name - Central Printing.
  8. I worked as the pressman for 3 three years. The ink feeder was where we put new ink. Sometimes, the feeder had low ink that we sometimes forgot to add more ink. There were four feeders for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. If we had printing problem (it had nothing to do with the registers), we knew the plate was out of proportion, damaged or worn-out so we asked for the new plate from the production team. That was pretty rare. I saw Amazing Spider-man #188 has some area that lacked of redness so I knew Magenta was either low or empty. The foreman was supposed to check everything and told us to correct the adjustment and add more color ink to each feeder. Sometimes, the misprints or printing errors were overlooked. The last place was binary where they used saddle staples before cutting the edges. Anyone who saw the errors would pull and destroy them. I did for magazines and catalog books and I had seen errors many times that always were ended up in the discarded carts but few slipped by. Any errors were found at the stores and would be returned. Few people kept them.
