  1. Seems the issue (at least for me) is on my mobile devices.
  2. In the hands of the right person this books will see a nice grade bump.
  3. But…in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing it can be greatly improved.
  4. There are some highest graded pedigree copies in this months c-link auction. i.e. TTA 90 TTA 91
  5. I have many friends that are full time comic dealers.
  6. I press embossed comics all the time. Never had an issue. Regarding the card stock covers, you need to know what you are doing to get good results.
  7. Water damage is one of the worst things that can happen to a comic. It often leads to the paper deteriorating, rust forming at the staples and mold, if not dried out properly.
  8. They are more problematic than regular comics, but an experienced professional can enhance the look of the the book greatly.
  9. There is no blanket answer to this question. It is on a book-by-book basis, as to what makes that book a good pressing candidate or not. It is always best to show a scan or pictures of the book and ask for opinions. Sometimes even what is considered a slam dunk for a press and resubmission fails to achieve the desired result, as grading is subjective.
  10. If it makes you feel better, I didn’t have any pre-show sales either at SDCC.
  11. They could have been over graded when they were first sent in.
  12. In some cases the inner well can cause the book to warp, especially if the seal is too close the the edge of the book.
