Pressing experiment #7523651

:hi: guys,

 

saw a few days ago this thread and told to myself: "if he can do it, i can do it".

 

Tonight, i rolled up my sleeves and delved deeper into the fascinating world of pressing.

 

First, i had to find a book for my experiment, and i must admit that the choice was Cornelian hm :

I decided to go with the AF #15. After all, a NM copy more or less won't make a difference into my collection:

Ok now, à nous deux, little guinea pig :banana:

doh! OMG, what a disappointment.

Maybe pressing is not a panacea ?

Or maybe i made something wrong... I should perhaps continue to train.

 

Now, where's my FF #1 hm

That vegetable cleaning will get a PLOD. You need to use something from the "Bread and Pasta" food group to keep your labels blue. :gossip:

Ok, but do you think i still can sell it on eBay ? Maybe NM- now ?

 

No no - the way you have to list it on ebay is like this:

 

Book is in gorgeous NM condition if not for the fact that's in two pieces
