Thanks, would a press / dry cleaning improve the grade?

Hello, Really great color. Some non- color breaking creases i tried to show. Any opinions on if pressing / dry cleaning would be beneficial vs detrimental? Thanks

Hello, I've had a couple of WWII cover ACs for a years and I'm considering sending them off to be graded. The covers have creases, but wonderful color. There is a big crease on the back cover. It isn't ripped, but it looks like a rip in the photo. Any opinions on if pressing / dry cleaning would be beneficial vs detrimental? Thanks

X-men #101 Help with a Grade Please
KCOComics replied to Jim Fletcher's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Sorry guys, I got over excited! Didn't pay attention to the details. I'm a very optimistic grader I suppose. You couldn't imagine my shock when my NM copy of hulk 181 came back from CGC as a 6.5! Don't even get me started about my NM tales to astonish 24!! -
X-men #101 Help with a Grade Please
KCOComics replied to Jim Fletcher's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
He's better at this than me. Go with his answer I was thinking you might be able to get the stains and creases out to drive up the grade, but the cost of doing that probably isn't warranted. -
X-men #101 Help with a Grade Please
KCOComics replied to Jim Fletcher's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
I'll throw out to the experts, but could dry cleaning get that stain off? I imagine with a press and dry clean through cgc it could be NM. -
I'm sorry the return didn't go smoothly. I honestly wouldn't have picked up on the color touch or trimming so I'm thankful to have learned something

I had a collection of 6 large boxes and a handful of short boxes. Lots of full runs of 80s and 90s marvel and a few boxes of keys. In 2012 my wife and I had our first son and owned a very small house in the greater Boston area. I ended up selling everything except the keys and thought my collecting days were over. Shortly after I started having withdrawls. There were a few runs I missed, but I mostly missed collecting. But my tastes had changed. I got really into GA WWII, then transitioned into PCH, mystery / SyFy... anything LB Cole. Then the coolest thing happened. My 5 year old (now 7 year old) son fell in love with comics. He of course loves the superheroes so now I'm collecting primarily silver age heros. So to answer your question, the right size collection has changed for me allot as my priorities in life have changed. At 22 my goal was to have every comic silver surfer or punisher ever appeared in. At 30 I had less than 40 comics and at 37 my son and I collect with wreckless abandon, no real plan and rotate through 2 small boxes and probably 30 to 40 slabbed books.

I'll preface this by saying I'm much less experienced than many of the folks who have already weighed in. And I tend to over grade only to experience consistent disappointment when my books come back.. Call it perpetual optimism. That said, I think it's a 2.0. It presents really well and the obvious major detractors are the spine and the missing piece. I'm looking to buy a 2.0 locally and yours presents much nicer. It's a highly desirable copy because it will be "affordable", complete and looks great.

The Ballad of My Avengers 1
KCOComics commented on CardiacKid1's journal entry in CardiacKid1's Journal
This was a great read. Your story reminds me allot of my own, although I'm a bit younger and spent much of the 90s chasing down comics. I'm glad you still have your avengers 1 signed by Jack! -

I enjoyed this post. Honestly it's a distinction in comic book history I wasn't aware of. -
[CLOSED] Slab sale: gold, silver, bronze, keys
KCOComics replied to october's topic in Golden/Silver/Bronze Age Only
Take via PM! Thanks, Kevin -
Not nearly as impressive as some I've seen on here, but I finished putting together a sold mid grade run of 1 - 7. I may look to upgrade #1 at some point, but I'm in no rush.

Is strange world's 1 kirby's triumphant return to atlas / Marvel? Just before the super hero stuff really took off? Great looking books regardless. GL selling -

Inherited collection of Silver Age comics...
KCOComics replied to Cherami's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
People may disagree with my advice, but I think your on the right path. Identify the keys and get them slabbed. As for the rest, I would put together nice runs and sell them on Ebay. No reserve, take good pictures, be honest and let the market decide. It's, quick and efficient. The biggest hassel is shipping. Or you can take my approach and become emotionally attached to them in a way that makes your wife feel uncomfortable, never sell them and day dream about converting your attic into a "comic book museum."- 47 replies
