Pressing, dry cleaning, and raw grading for fun & profit

Pictured here is the latest bunch of comics I recently dry cleaned heat pressed and raw graded using the Comic Collector’s (https://www.comicbookgradinglabels.com) raw grading labels and data backer-sheets with my grader notes, along with Nostomania’s all important raw/slabbed value and 1 to 3 year past performance trend as a complete package. Needless to say, my client was very impressed and happy with the results. I always have my phone with me when I go comic hunting and check Nostomania value first. It’s my best weapon of choice when making an offer to buy a collection when I come across one in the field. With the Nosto sales data, it gets better and more current all the time. It’s worth being a premium subscriber. Nice going STAR-MAN and Nostomania!

Aw shucks brother Mario, thanks! What a cool lot of books there! That Jungle Girl is actually Nyoka #1. And those Planet Comics! Great stuff. Isn't it something how pressing is such a big thing now, and how the grading companies want to keep it so hush-hush (so they can charge you a shitload to do it). You can't even mention it on their forums or it gets scrubbed. We hardly ever scrub anything here, we can take the heat - it just drives us to do better. One of my faves is still spendler's "The Silence is Deafening here!" post

Brother Tommy, sad but true. The pressing cat is out of the bag! There is a LOT of information out there on pressing, dry cleaning, etc., restoration... This collector's market is going nuts! This particular client friend of mine has close to 1 million comics between two houses!
