Today I started my own comic collecting system. For a dollar I'll let someone know whether I would purchase a specific comic book that the "someone" specifies.

Unfortunately, almost 12 hours since I introduced my system and not a single customer.

[TRUTH] Why I hate using other comic pressers

One thing I absolutely hate about giving work to your average comic book pressers is how they don’t clean enough. Any old presser can say he cleans comics, but when it comes down to it, they just don’t have the ability to do a great job. That sucks. It sucks for you. It sucks for your business (if you use them) and it kills the value of your comics. That’s why you don’t wanna be hiring cheap pressers to do the cleaning. Most of the time it doesn’t get done right. Now this is bad for their business and any other chumps using their services. But for you… I smell a BIG money making opportunity. A chance for you to get in on their action, “James Bond” roll into their industry and slay the competition. Absolutely murder them (metaphorically speaking of course!), and you know why?  Because your pal Dylan here’s gonna give you the recipe for being a lean, mean, comic book cleaning machine.  So many pressers do the PRESSING part correctly . But they don’t f*cking clean enough. “You can’t get a 9.8 if it has not been cleaned well.” -anonymous CGC grader.  It’s like you can’t make REAL money if you don’t do it. As they say, no pain no game.  Except, they charge you the game price when you take the pain and you didn’t even know it. I say enough.  They freaking leave dirt!!!! Lots and lots of dirt. And in the eyes of the CGC, a dirty comic is not as high grade. If you worked at a 3rd party grading company, would you give a higher grade to a super fresh CLEAN comic book or a smelly and dirty one?      All this dirt on the spine? The mast head is all colored in, soiled, don’t THINK collectors and CGC won’t notice. Sure cleaning can be time consuming BUT it makes the comics look WAY better.  Some guys try to use a school kid eraser to clean but you’ll have to deal with eraser residue (lowers the grade) and you’ll have to worry about getting the ink cleaned off. Color loss hooray. Not.  Even pressers that claim they’ve pressed and cleaned over 10,000 books still make this mistake. You also want to be careful not to scratch or rip the comic. One rip is all it’ll take to end it, and then you can kiss a few thousands of dollars goodbye if it’s high end. Check out this Wings Comics #90 I had pressed by another presser.    I got it back from him and granted he is a good friend of mine, and I said, “You know this dirt is cleanable right?” He replies, “Dylan if you want it cleaned like that do it yourself.”  And you know that’s the interesting thing. The best pressers usually are not for hire and neither are their skills. I take pride in being the force that changes this hobby.  I made that Wings 90 so freaking nice I made that pencil and the indents VANISH. Like a magic trick, but it’s not a magic trick. It’s just a fraction of what you’ll learn in the system.... You want to be using something that gets all the dirt off, something that cleans well WITHOUT damaging the color of the comic or taking off the gloss. This special cleaning method is one of the little tricks I teach you to get a vintage comic book pressed and cleaned up to a higher grade. And the higher value the comic is the more bang you’ll get for your pressing efforts.  All combined you’ll have the skills of a master presser, to make more money & make you better than 90% of pressers out there. I don’t know a single person who teaches all this stuff outside, and I’ll be damned if you can find proper techniques on a youtube video. It’s ONLY available inside “The System”.  I can’t guarantee that these methods will be available at this low low price for much longer, so if you want in, I suggest getting in now.   Dylan's Comic Book Resources   Dylan Schwartz

The System is apparently unaware it's 'No Pain, No GAIN'. 

He probably meant to type, "No Pame, No Game."

Careful, he may just destroy overstreet.

Is there any evidence he's an Overstreet Advisor or are we just taking his claims as gospel?

Maybe an Advisor is like a Prominent Member...

Is “Prominent Member” the new “BSD”?

That flim flam writing style comes straight from the grifter style manual.

I'm only a few days into the system and I'm having to find creative ways to stash my money to make room for the Cosplay girls coming over later! Best decision ever! Why bother selling 1,000 books for $1 each like a common chump when you can just charge $100 each for the same books and make 100x more! I'll be taking Sunday off to relax, count my $$$ and enjoy some chips and salsa.

Man, he cleaned that one so hard, it blurred my vision!

This reminds me of the guy who uses a belt sander with 80 grit paper when all that is needed is some light finish sanding.

I'm thinking he may have used a belt sander on this book!
