Pokémon card cleaning & repair:

Getting better. Almost ready to take on submissions for card repair. This Mew card was pretty dirty and banged up. It came out pretty well, don't you think? I'd say the "before" was no better than 4.0, and the "after" is a solid 6.0 or 6.5.

Let me know what you think. I want to hear your questions and comments!

Happy Saturday, Pressing Fans!

I am considering expanding my services to include treating trading cards and would appreciate your feedback. I have achieved excellent results with older cardboard type cards.

The trading card grading market has been blowing up! If you like getting your comics graded, why not dive into your old baseball and basketball card collections and get those cherished rookie cards graded too?!

Let me know if this is something that interests you.

The back cover shows where an amateur presser attempted to work on this book and indented the tattoo and insert sheet into the back cover. Easily fixed with the right tools.

Nice book, right? Awesome grade, right? Take a look at picture 2 to remind yourselves why NOT to use CGC's pressing service.

Here's one an old customer of mine submitted to the McFarlane signing that he is not happy with. Looking at picture 2 of the sunken in staple shows (1) that their press services are hacks that don't know what they are doing, and (2) bump up the grade of a book when using their press service with a submission.

Obviously not a 9.8 with the way that staple area is sunken in and slightly torn so it can never be sold with an obviously improper grade.

Stick with That Old Press Guy. I love comics and I take care of your books as if they were my own.

I am in search of these variant covers of Blasphemy Throne #1. If you have 'em, I want 'em. I'm a completionist and these are the last two covers I need to complete my "All Things Dead@17" collection. In cash or trade for my pressing services. Who's going to be my savior?!
