Do you press magazines? What is the cost?
Yes - $30/ base rate
He's not defrauding CGC. He;'s defrauding whomever he sells the book to. Unless he discloses what he's done.
I before E (except after C) or when sounding like A, as in neighbor or weigh.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had that same problem. I had thick comics, and I was putting them in a short box and then all the books were kind of turning to the side and I couldn’t fit as many in all the books were shifting over to the side, so I flipped some of them around that way I was actually able to fill up the whole box.
Yup - staple thickness is real
Long time collector but new to cleaning/restoring. Is there a difference between cleaning and whitening or bleaching? Would this process be considered cleaning or restoring? I know some collectors like one but not the other.
That is a complex question. This video attempts to answer also a case study w a cap and Thor side by side I did: COVER CLEANED!!!! Why? Is this restoration? A clear discussion on why CGC might flag some comics th-cam.com/video/akdHT58vbC0/w-d-xo.html

@@TopComicsPressing Cool Thank you! I will take a look.
Somebody at CGC must have a box of damaged Amazing Spider-man 252s which have a big dent and spine tick in the middle of the spine., which they replace with your nice copies. I have seen 4 vids now of bananafied Amazing Spider-man 252s - all have the exact same damage.
😢
I'm relatively new to pressing and I've been getting wavy pages on my books post pressing. What's the best way to press out the waves? And is the waving due to too high of a temperature or too much moisture? I steam them but without a whole lot of moisture and was pressing 160F for 600 seconds.
I don’t recommend the hand held steamers as they are uneven and that can be an issue. What era of book?
@TopComicsPressing yeah, I am suspect of them as well now. I've been pressing some Spider-Man 1s by Toddfather and unfortunately a Tomb of Dracula #1 . They are not bad, just definitely not flat . Ugh. Thanks !
I've actually gotten some decent results with no moisture as well. I live in a fairly humid mid Atlantic coastal region
try cooking for 30 min at 150 and see if an extended back out flattened them. If over hydrated need to dehydrate. Those era should be ok
As long as they are not deep creases you can generally improve w out humidity. But if there are serious issues it won’t come out w/o hunidity
Congrats on your channels anniversary! So many great videos! Thx
Glad you like them!
Do you only press for yourself or do you take orders?
Take orders - can reach out on Facebook - Instagram - or at topcomicspressing@gmail.com
I adore Sakai’s renditions of the turtles! Very jealous of that! My fav Usagi stories are his crossovers with them turtle boys. Congrats on two years!
Thanks! Yah 100% awesomeness. Cowabunga.
Congrats on your anniversary and collection! Great reminder to buy the book not the number! Uncanny how you were able to keep a 9.8 with all those signatures on that last X-men - Very cool!
I was biting my nails in that one - I did make a very special window bag before cracking so it immediately went into double full backs and was not taken out. Also yelled at the guy cracking to let me do it and they could watch 😜
I have been watching you since the beginning. But, I didn't realize it's been two years already. Congrats! I will be looking forward to more content moving forward.
Thank you so much!
Watched from the start of your channel and look forward to all of your videos.Congrats to two years.I have been pressing for over ten years part time and still learn great tips watching you work that have saved me from making many mistakes..Thank you very much and hope you continue the channel for many more years.
That is awesome! Thanks
Congratulations
Thank you
fun to watch! THX!
Welcome
Hey, Happy Anniversary!!!
Thank you
Congrats! One of the best pressing channels for legit information.
Glad you think so!
A bright spot in an otherwise pitch black week. Thanks! Great video as usual

Congrats man!
Thanks!
congrats on the 2 years.
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Was helpful to me as well.
Glad it helped
Do you have a website or social media with prices and instructions on how to send books to you for grade bumpski’s?
Can message on Facebook Instagram or email at topcomicspressing@gmail.com
Great job son!!!
Thanks for watching
Congrats, nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey, thanks for posting this video! Very informative! I want to ask a few things as I have a few books which actually show signs of foxing (mold related as I've seen some of it nearby) and I want to use your method to clean them. So my questions are: - What wave length is applicable for the use for books and will not harm ink or paper? - How long it is safe to expose books to UV? - have you thought about adding a cooler to that box at the top? I'm planing on building such thing in order to prevent other books from being infected by the used books with mold that I have.

Great work. Bummer the owner never got back to you. Maybe some day.
Meh - it happens more than you would think
People will stop sending books in to be graded if they are too critical.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing this. I am a vintage radio restorer and i stumbled across your video as i was looking for a solution to whiten speaker grill cloths in situ (still glued to the wooden board. I'm pretty sure this would work on cloth, at least on originally light coloured cloths. Unless you do not recommend it for some reason. Again thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Should be fine on cloth. Cloth and paper are basically the same thing. High quality paper is actually made fully of cotton.
@@TopComicsPressing Indeed, it was also my reasoning, thanks.
Much easier to use a melamine magic erasure. Use light pressure to clean entire cover without worrying about rubbing out color.
That’s what the mr clean sheets are for
What an awesome grade bump! That dry cleaning did that book wonders!
Yes it does!
What a great case study - thanks so much for sharing the process from start to finish!
You are so welcome!
Awesome video bud! How did you get the front cover to shine up really good?
The bled-overlay method. I have a video on it with an asm316
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Insane!!
Thanks for watching
Love that run of cap!
🤓😀
If I could give you two thumbs up, I would. Great video.
Wow, thanks!
An absorene pad would get most of the dirt off the white areas in a fraction of the time.
Also, if I have large areas to erase, a 1" x 2" block eraser has more surface to do more erasing, at a time.
@@joshuaclark1930 I like the slow and steady. I have tried the pad and it’s not for me.
@@TopComicsPressing I have found the stick eraser can affect the gloss, or generate a waxy or even dullened appearance, with stroke patterns being noticeable. And believe me, I use the stick all the time, except on certain silver and bronze stuff. I lighten everything to the point where it takes forever to erase without leaving traces, so to speak.
I mean the seriously not sarcastically, get rid of your erasers and try these. I know exactly what you’re talking about and I see that every time I try to use a pencil and cap eraser. Please leave the glass, always looking brighter and shinier than when I started.
@@TopComicsPressing I use the same stick eraser thing you use. I still find it leaves marks. Cheers.
Very nice job. That was awesome bump up in grades.😮😊
Thank you.
Thx! Always enjoy seeing your process!
thanks for watching.
Wooooooooo! Extra long video today! Awesome!
tick tock.
Excellent video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Why grade the Speedball? Nice books in all though, good luck with the grades.
Was a stack from a client so I did not decide why to send them. A few of them were returned without further work after some of the defects were revealed. All in all I try not to advise people what is or is not worth slabbing because I’m terrible at flipping.
Are you kidding me? That is a restored copy?? CGC has lost their minds!
They offer color touch removal and have for a long time. It’s a common practice to remove the color touch and get universal. Any other complaints should be addressed to Matt Nelson at CGC.
There’s that great CGC QC at work. It took customers to find the problem, not their own QC. What does CGC QC even do?
Much like the center of the tootsie pop the world may never know
Hi, do you clean & press comics for other individuals?
Yup. Can reach out on Facebook, instagram or gmail
Cool video! Really love the two Marvel Spotlight #5's you're gonna send in. Didn't know that the paper in those books had really low quality!
Awesome work as always brother! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Wow I love the knowledge you present here. I would love if you made a video about screening comics that can be improved and ones that you should stay away from.
There are some similar videos on the channel - all are form client subs and go through the stack as received
Great video as always!
