Need some harsh feedback -- Marvel Value Stamps
redgar-red replied to redgar-red's topic in Bronze Age Comic Books
Thanks -- I had to end an auction and send an explanation. You also gave me a start -- I won WWBN 32 (bought that one off the comic stand as well). It does not have a MVS! Thankfully. -
Need some harsh feedback -- Marvel Value Stamps I have a Daredevil 131 that I owned as a kid. I have now see that I cut out the Marvel Value Stamp. This is one of those times when I get to face my own stupidity as a youth. Is there are rules of thumb as to the decrease in value? Thanks in advance!

Green Lantern #40 -- this is a project.
redgar-red replied to redgar-red's topic in Golden/Silver/Bronze Age Only
It's yours -- PM me please. -
Green Lantern #40 -- this is a project. I picked this up from a estate sales. It is pretty nice, BUT the center page is detached -- please see all the pictures and email me any questions. I thought about trying to re-attach staples, but have decided that I will let someone else try. I have asking $5.00 for the comic and $4.50 for shipping. Paypal only please. The first gets it. My only ask is that you send me pictures after you fix it!

NoMan -- to follow up with Bomber-Bob, yes. I have a press that I was able to acquire off Craigslist and its the best investment I have made in comic collecting. There is nothing like getting a book that is 7.0 - 8.0 and pressing it up. Even if you are not going to have it slabbed, I would argue that a pressed book preserves better. There has been studies done by document preservationist that indicate that pressing does not decrease the longevity or durability of document. I am not the guy that will press a new book. I have not seen creases come back, but I can tell you that multiple pressings (2-3) tend to produce the best results. I bought my own press after I saw the results of what pressing can do and did not like paying the cost or waiting time. The guys that press charge a fair (more than fair) price often enough -- I just like pressing my old books. And I am not patient enough to wait the 4-6 weeks on top of the waiting for grading. It is kind of therapeutic -- sorry if that sounds odd. I will say that slabbing a book and not pressing it seems odd to me.

This is a really nice book -- It seems like an easy 7.5 to me, but maybe I not seeing with the other guys are .

PGM Marvel Super Heroes #18 -- before and after
redgar-red replied to redgar-red's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Good feedback -- I did the pressing myself -- so that cost and the shipping are not part of the equation. The thicker books have those side staples -- just trying to figure that out. I know that if I do get it graded I will have it pressed and cleaned (by someone other than an enthusiastic amateur) -

Wow! That's a nice book! The only thing that I see that would give you a ding is the spine. If you had a tough grader I would say 8.5. Otherwise I would say 9.0 and a stretch 9.2. Beautiful!
