The Science of comic book grading, cleaning, pressing, and collecting is a whole new level of appeal! Thanks for this video, nicely done!

I am hoping to someday start cleaning and pressing my comics! Great video with very useful information, along with others you have put out there to help out! Thanks!

It’s very rewarding! Best of luck

My pleasure

Great info. I have been leaving my books in the press for 24hrs or more to combat reversion but it does take up the press real estate. I like your set up a lot more. Thanks!

As always Jon, great, informational content. A high quality video that gets to the point and is very helpful. I just started to use the 56pt. backer boards and I really like how they fit the book and bag tighter. Fills up the gap that I get some times and secures the book away from the edge to prevent any damage. Thanks again for the tips and looking forward to ITV.

Thanks Zim! Those boards are great.

I do not like the resealable bags because it has an adhesive residue. And it goes straight across the back of the bag so it is easy to touch it and then that would end up on your comic book. I just use blue tape and fold one end for easy pulling.

[@ScottTice1971]

He’s only using the resealable for groups of 7 books that are already bagged/boarded.

[@paperchasecomics]

I get that. I personally have still seen the painters tape create tape pulls on comics. Ive found the Scotch Wall Safe tape is the best as far as taping bags goes. I do use the resealable for the individual because i also feel its a better seal on the bag from humidity. The location of the adhesive on the bag shouldn’t be EASY for them to get it stuck to the comic. If they do your books were DOA in the hands of that grader anyway lol

[@TheWarningBand]

@@paperchasecomicsI noticed on the pre screen rejects I got back that the blue painters tape were sliced open and not even pulled by the fold I left as described by @thirtyacres. Maybe I’ll try the resealed bags too🤔

[@paperchasecomics]

@@TheWarningBand interesting. Im sure every dealer has their own ways, makes it difficult to predict

[@IntegrityInspects]

That Tomb #5 though 😮‍💨

[@charlielarson2407]

Cuz I found two Mark Jewelers I want to get graded

[@charlielarson2407]

Can you send me the link for a 10 pack to turn off to get graded catalyzed

[@paperchasecomics]

Not following your question

[@Thisistheway-2187]

Resealable bags are horrible. Blue tape only. Ruined couple books from the tops being left open and touching a raw book.

[@paperchasecomics]

Ive seen painters tape ruin books 🤷🏻‍♂️ The true best tape ive found is SCOTCH Wall Safe. I did a hack video that demonstrated it. The resealable is more air tight to guard from humidity and for the grader to get an entire bag stuck to a book they have to be REALLY carless with it. Tapes easily misplaced. But hey these are all opinions on how different people operate. Whatever works best for you!
