I loved how you took the challenge of that 7.0 and turned it into the 9.6, I’ve been hoping you would do more videos like this.

Killer grade jump

@leeniren3706 Ай бұрын

You have a superpower. The power to renew. Just think, you can take a book and make it look like it just came off the press. What an amazing superpower you have.

Awesome job on the Squadron book. Like you said, not a 9.8 batch but very nice 9.4's and 9.6's. Well done. :)

All Star Squadron #47 is the origin of Dr. Fate. I was so glad to see another upload the other day for your channel, that I waited two days to watch. LOL. I was busy with life I reckon.

I'm trying to upload 2 videos a week now. Hopefully I can keep up the pace. :)

@@ImproveCollectingComics Brother, either way we love the channel. No pressure.

I'm like you always looking for that mid-grade slab at a discount that you can crack clean press and bump the grade. Hopefully make a couple bucks along the way if you don't keep it for the PC. Another great video Cheers

All star I got that in a 9.8 got all his first 5 books except Coyote 11

@malus911 Ай бұрын

First you say, its a success regardless of the other books, then you pull the 9.4 on 301 and you look bummed. Lol...Nice work.

This grader was not Loose Larry, Harsh Harry or Accurate Andy. This grader’s name is, “Huh… That’s Interesting." 😃

It’s so crazy how subjective grading is. Glad to see you’re happy overall with what you got, though! Amazing bump on the All Star Squadron!

@davidevans-lv6uq Ай бұрын

Great job on that All star Squadron! I think in theory that’s his 3rd DC cover fourth overall with an origin of Dr. Fate. But I think you know! That Comics Journal behind you has his first published artwork! I’m a big Michael T. Gilbert fan and I’ve never seen ya press a Mr. Monster but I know they are not worth crap… Love the videos, would love to see more process! Ty!

@ImproveCollectingComics Ай бұрын

Thanks for the info, and I'm definitely working toward doing more process oriented videos. The reason I currently don't do more is that I am still working on my process and don't want to give bad info. Getting there though!

Wow, 7 grades are you kidding my, you have to know someone at CGC 😆 🤣

@lucasevans462 Ай бұрын

Well done! Always fun to watch

@havok33777 Ай бұрын

Wow! What a wild grade bump! That’s awesome! I appreciate how you enjoy challenging yourself with these diamond in the rough mid grade comics. I just picked up a book hoping to improve it and saw that it wasn’t as nice as I’d hoped too. Would you be willing to share your thoughts on what grade it might cap at if I sent you a picture? Would definitely appreciate your input! As always, great video!

ASM 226 is not a key to my knowledge. Just an appearance.

@MrYac-ie8ie Ай бұрын

even as a non-comic cleaner myself i still think the transformations are fun to watch, so congrats on the big bump. just curious though as i've only found your channel fairly recently but do you clean books for other people professionally or just a personal hobby?

@ImproveCollectingComics Ай бұрын

It's just a hobby for me

@MrYac-ie8ie Ай бұрын

@@ImproveCollectingComics well then thanks for sharing your hobby with us!

@robertgray1365 Ай бұрын

You've got to give us a full process cleaning and pressing video. Do a series even. You'd be getting all the views.

@ImproveCollectingComics Ай бұрын

I plan on doing that type of content, the reason it's delayed is because my process is still evolving. It's getting there, though! I have changed very little recently.
