I’m buying the facsimile editions because it’s what I can afford right now but I’m happy to live vicariously through you! Maybe one day…

Great results! Love that Uncanny X-Men 266 9.8. Just submitted one myself recently, fingers crossed for a 9.4.

Awesome, outstanding work. Your skills have come a long way. I thought you were amazing from the start but these grades you are achieving are superior quality work. I can't praise you enough. You continue to be an inspiration to this community. I always look forward to your content. Keep up the great work. You were compensated very well for your talents, dont undervalue your labor. ❤

Fantastic! You are living the dream but making it happen via skills and amazing work. It's so exciting to see you get some amazing results on these books. If you ever open up a pressing service for key issues I would love to send you some good stuff.

Fantastic work! And nice additions to your PC. So will you start taking submissions of other Rae books and paid in comics? I’ve still got a bunch of those McFarlane issues ! 😊

Love the content! FYI page "color" aka white/off-white pages is not about the actual color but the brittleness of the pages. It's a stupid naming convention... White pages are the least brittle.

Thanks for the clarification, will take note of that

Well done. I know you don't do this as a business, but, if people are gonna trade books for your work, thats the way to do it....
@visioneyeviewtv Жыл бұрын
All respect to YOU my guy for the great work, but CGC has been extremely inconsistent with their grading for most part of this year and even the latter half of last year so I’d tread carefully. Nonetheless I’m happy for your outcome regardless of whether or whether not it’s accurate 🙌🏾

Great job. I'm a huge Spider-Man fan but I don't glorify ASM#121 and ASM#122. Silver Age Spidey was my favour and made by legends Steve Ditko, Stan Lee, JRSR, Gil Kane and even Jack Kirby(AF15 cover and unpublished originals). To have Gerry Conway come in as a kid and off Gwen in 10 issues of being on the book... nah. It's a mess.

Their "off white" definition is pretty hilarious, and looks way off white, like tan. It's beyond me, how they gave that to you...

So for all those times, I told you that you should start your day job and start cleaning and pressing books and you said nope not going to do it, wow looks like you jumped in the deep end. It’s only time now before you go live with your own cleaning, and Pressing company
@ImproveCollectingComics Жыл бұрын
I don't see that happening.. I don't see how people make decent money doing it, honestly. I see companies charging like $15 per book. I can only do a max of like 10 books a week. $150 a week for 20 hours of work? That's below minimum wage.. no thanks

You would have tremendous clientele if you started your own pressing cleaning business and I would be the first in line to submit. 🥰😉
