  1. Tried this in the grading section to crickets. There's a Facebook group that just released a book on stain removal which I have ordered. Using peroxide method for stain removal and blue LED light exposure in a light box. Blue LED is used to whiten teeth, over exposure will adversely effect the colour (yes, that is the proper way to spell colour) Many books have already been through CGC with blue labels but some with too much of the methods got a PLOD like the batman pictured. It went from a 3.5 uni to a restored 3.5 at Voldemort's place (pics from the FB group) As is the mantra of pro-pressers: you are not adding anything to the book, so it's not resto, apparently peroxide is used in the paper/print process. Exposing to light isn't really adding anything tangible The stain removal methods will remove foxing and stains so I'm very interested in that considering how harsh CGC is on foxing https://www.amazon.com/Comic-Book-Stain-Removal-Whitening/dp/B09QJXBJ3X/?fbclid=IwAR0nbbMgcFLRtZ4RKGbcpAy1dh-2GAEIVkZEWNoAMSPfV5Ay6c9iQHxjt34
  2. Trimming should not be considered restoration but rather get a huge decrease in grade - blue label with trimming noted. green labels should not exist imo

I don't have much of an idea on the stain removal part of the book but for the blue LED light aspect is you basically expose the book in a light box.

  5. The Bryne run is awesome in this title, Claremont writer maybe? Been years since I read them I remember reading the Tigra issue when she was Kraven's slave and being very creeped out by it as a kid. Of course Bryne's women were drawn pretty, pretty, pretty good.
  6. By far the most ridiculous aspect of collecting is the 9.8 chasers, considering the inconsistency of grading.
  7. Did it the old school way, saved the pictures to my desktop PC
  8. Bought an original owner ASM run from issue 1 to present. 8 shorties Happy days! He started buying at issue 38 when he was a teen, bought the early issues in the 80's 90's 38 and up to 80ish have his name written on back and same store stamp from the corner store he frequented 1 is restored moderate Crappy pictures but I can't log onto the boards with my phone lately
  9. Great seller and super fast shipping Thanks Dan
  10. Okay I'll take this, I believe it's from 1975 though (which merits a $5.00 off no-prize) Too bad they didn't use the original cover
  11. This is one of those examples where if you have 2 9.8’s and one has this printing defect which book would EVERYONE choose. Doesn’t make sense that it would have the same value. Same goes for Marvel chipping
  12. I have a package that was delivered April 27 give or take a day. Still not in system but there is confirmation of delivery. over a month! Sent out some Eternals 1’s yesterday Fast Track - do those subs get any extra love as to quicker shipping room receipt?
  13. If you truly believe they will double in a year, why wouldn’t you buy more? Seems like guaranteed money
  14. I’d put Marvel Feature 1 before the mags since mags have zero street cred
  15. I don’t think I’ve ever read a Star Wars book. Can’t be worse than Star Wars 41 “first” Yoda. He appears in silhouette on the last panel and is not even named. Unless you count the ESB preview article at the end of the book I guess
  16. I think it’s a first FULL versus cameo word salad voodoo magic thing.
