  1. You have to know which defects to look for. To be honest, these types of home runs are getting harder to find as dealers and collectors are sending books in to be CPR’d before selling as is. Doesn’t mean you can’t find them, you just have to know where to look.
  2. This might need a second press if sent to someone who knows what they are doing. To many breaks for a 6.0.
  3. Home after a long travel day yesterday. Missed my connection because it took the Calgary ground crew two hours to de-ice our plane. Had a nice 5 hour layover In Minneapolis. While lthere were fewer comic dealers this year I went to my normal sources and had a good show.
  4. Looks like it could be a coffee stain. Take a clean q-tip and wipe the area that is affected the worst. If it wipes off easily it could be molds that grew over the stain. Quick tip to get the heavy surface mold off is use an artists brush to gently wipe away what you can off the surface. The brush should be medium stiffness to the bristles. If you plan on getting it graded, do not use any type of cleaner on it, as it will come back conserved or restored.
  5. In order to see if it is worth it we would need to know which book it is. It may press out completely, but the cost to do so would be more than buying a perfect copy. As as far as removing the defect, if done properly, the dent will come out. It may leave some slight remnants, especially if any of the inked areas have cracked.
  6. I have too many to list but some highlights are... Hulk 181 9.2 to 9.8 X-Men 94 5.5 to 9.0 Superman 500 SS 7.5 to 9.6
  7. Grade is in. I’m in Calgary and will post scans when I get the book back from CGC. All I I will say is someone was right.
  8. As long as you saved us some good books...yes. I have Greggy’s money to spend.
  9. See everyone tomorrow. Looks like I have to break out my winter clothes after an 85 degree day today.
  10. I do hate stains. I would leave the FF 1 as is. The Hulk 181 is a clearer choice to do a CPR on.
  11. Less than a week away. Have lots of money to spend.
  12. Was able to print labels tonight, but noticed I have no shipping history.
  13. Dr. Watson Green Anfieldfox Just a few that come to mind.
  14. It would appear it is not the only defect. After seeing the book in its entirety, the seller will have a hard time moving this as a 9.2.
