    Did you improve it a lot? Yes. .I would argue that before, it was beyond collectible. If I saw it for $1-2, I would maybe buy it. Even then, I would have to store away from all my other books so really, I would have left it.
    Now? I would maybe pay $5? for it. Much nicer and as long as that mold is dead, I could store with other comics. Cool process though. Would be nicer to see on a comic with a small amount as I am sure you could turn a hurt book into a nice one if the mold amount was smaller.

      @@maris4137 Thats a tough question to answer. I am certain that I can do it. I am uncertain that you can do it, but you might get lucky. There's just no way to know. Be warned that I ruined a great many comic books before I got to the level of confidence I have now. I would suggest you find 100 books you don't really care to much about and practice your skills on those first. That is a good start and you will learn a lot. This is as much art as it is science and you need both.

      @@ImmaculateComics Thanks for your advice. I actually just googled a few how-to's and yeah, I think I'll try a few non-key books. I'm going to try using Hydrogen Peroxide. I hope I won't mess up. Thanks.

      @@maris4137 same here. Try 6 or 8% H2O2 if you can get it. Houshold peroxide says it’s 3% but it degrades quickly and much of it is actually around 1.8-2.25% in the bottle. Fun fact : peroxide bottles are brown because in the old days they discovered this degeneration happened more quickly in clear glass than in colored glass (photdegradation) so they started storing it in brown bottles. They use iron , sulfur, and carbon to color the glass, incidentally. So that’s why the bottles are brown. If you can’t find a higher Concentration of peroxide let me know. Be aware you can hurt yourself with it... but the pain goes away in a couple of hours. Rick@rickmorgan.net

    It’s great, but we’re only talking about the grade going from a zero to maybe a .1 or .2. Which would be a NG?? This process would only realistically be applicable to a small amount of mold on an expensive book. However, it’s still cool to see the effort.

      @Mark Grant Hey Mark! Well I've been to both cities several times. Naturally I saw the spider-man show on broadway lol. I can kill the mold for you if you like but I am not sure it would be worth it for you to pay me to clean them. I can definitely take an initial crack at it though. It may take me dozens of hours to actually clean those books to a very high level and if they aren't mine or they aren't interesting or fun new problems then its just work.... you know how it is. But killing the mold is the hard part and I can definitely kill it for you for not much effort. email me: rick@rickmorgan.net!

    I can restore some of the colors using printers ink , but it wouldn't have the dot matrix, I have access to solvents for cleaning and bleaching. I have archival way of reglossing the cover close to original and it's undetectable.
    The only thing is it would cost more to raise the grade of this comic by a couple of grades than it would be worth.

    Great content. Interesting to see and experiment, but I'm not sure in the long run a very practical restoration idea for most books. Would love to see if the investment of $70 was worth it with a resale. Still, enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing!
