Case Study: Iron Man #55 foxing removal and CGC comic book submission regrade comic book pressing

[@malus911]

You have far more courage than I when it comes to trying to fool CGC antics these days with the purple labels for HOPS/Blue LED appearing. My last customer had a couple purples with the definition, "cover cleaned" and a purple label. WTF!!! I have gone back to strictly dry cleaning for my customers these days until something concrete comes out about it (LED/peroxide treatment), instead of this random subjective grading practices they use.... Or, maybe I just suck at it. Btw, I agree that you should have gotten at least an 8.0 on the book. Looks good though.

If your not carful, you can leave tells for sure

[@TopComicsPressing]

If you have after pics of the comics before grading, I can take a stab at what was flagged. I have a video on two to show using a Cap and Thor book side by side. I have not been flagged in 2023 to the best of my knowledge

Cracking open these CGC cases always unnerves me, I only slab major keys, most of my PC is raw.

[@TopComicsPressing]

Mine too

Awesome content🤩😁👏🤜🤛

[@TopComicsPressing]

Thanks for watching

[@TulsaComicBookSwap]

Nice bump for sure

[@78GhostRider]

You do great work do you have a website where you can go and look on how much you charge to press and Clean comics. Thanks

[@TopComicsPressing]

I don’t have an independent site - just Facebook, instagram and email at [e-mail]

CGC always seems to downgrade to 7.5 with any amount of staining. That book could have been a 9.8 with only the staple staining, and they probably would have said 7.5. Ridiculous imo

[@TopComicsPressing]

It’s kinda random… but in general based on size and intensity

[@JoeyRam.]

The pages in creme color can be whitened, or that is only done with the covers?

[@TopComicsPressing]

You have to be very careful w interiors. There are a lot of ways to leave “tells”. Can be done but very very tedious

[@JoeyRam.]

@@TopComicsPressing I'll keep that in mind. I'm trying to dig as deep as possible because I want to try make a living out of this. Don't know if that is done as a side hobby or else. Looking for directions everywhere.. lol

[@Turinfly]

This is horrid. You are self restoring comics. Another reason to not buy / trust CGC books. Taking gullible people as they (chances are) won't break the case.

[@TopComicsPressing]

please note label does not state any restoration. Please address complaints to Matt Nelson at CGC.

[@Turinfly]

Done. I contacted him directly. You are a scammer and should be ashamed to call yourself a 'collector' Explain what happens to the 7.0 in the database? @@TopComicsPressing
