I am sending in about 30 vintage comics for grading. Some could use a good pressing and cleaning…. Hopefullly to remove creases, foxing?, and realign spine.

1. Are these good candidates?
2. is it worth it? Hulk 182 has a missing value stamp inside

What would a realistic grade before and after pressing be?

Hello there!

Im going to SDCC in a few weeks and would like to have my comics graded.

I signed up for membership and can pay ahead of time, and drop off to save on shipping there. Do I have to package it or will you do this for me?

Is there also an option for grading at your booth in real time (or done by end of show)? 

Would love to restore but don’t want that classification.

I’m going to still send in for grading. Hopefully will keep from further degradation as well?

Thanks Matt!! I am so attached to these … but they have been in a Mylar sleeve in a closet for decades and should probably bring joy to someone. And… I have college kids to pay for. 😆 

Great idea to look on the sale board. Just joined here so would be good to know!!!

Got one more that I think is a lot cleaner, but I’m concerned by the discoloration on the cover. 
 

Any thoughts?

I’m noticing discoloration over time and wondering if it was there when I first got these. I’m noticing them a lot more and wondering if…

1. This affects grade and how much.
2. is there a fix for it
3. if I encase will this keep from getting worse.
4. is it worth restoring?

I’m finally grading my beloved comics that I collected as a child. Here is a sampling that I might end up selling to pay bills. 
 

Is it worth grading or sell Raw (will the $40ish investment be worth it)? Is there a rule of thumb? I “think” most are upwards of 7.0.

It seems like it would be worth grading but probably not pressing.

Is this worth grading and pressing?

Grade estimate anyone?
