The products I use to clean and press are listed on my website at improvecollecting.com/recommended-comic-book-collecting-supplies/ Be sure to sign up for my newsletter while you are there! I am developing tools to make collecting better and will be announcing it to my email subscribers in the future.

I'm using your expertise to test my grading ability. My first thought was 2.5 so it's nice to hear you talk throw the process. So glad I found your channel thank you. I'm making my way throw your vids.cheers

More “newer” collectors need to watch this. This is the time it takes to ensure a high level of accuracy with grading. While a person can look over a book in a minute or two and still nail the grade, they will be less consistent especially if they don’t have the experience of doing so with 1000s of books. Until you are there, take your time, be overly critical and you will never be upset or let down by CGC grades when you do submit books. Keep up the great vids

You are exactly right! Thanks for the great advice! I am actually working on a video today about having a consistent process when grading. So your comment is very timely!

I would be interested to see what kind of improvements can be made to the lower grade book... not necessary for obtaining a hogher grade value but more so for improving our PCs and preserving valuable books. Lower grade copies are more obtainable to true comic fans that are interested in owning and reading the books and it would be cool to see what can be done on a budget to approve the appearance of an overall collection even in lower grade.

Lower grade books scare the heck out of me. They are often brittle or have barely hanging staples, etc. But yeah.. I definitely need to find a few good candidates to work on, thanks for the suggestion!

Using the tool and putting the first book on BOTH the left and right boxes I get a 80|2.0 on the left(green) and a 84|1.5 on the right (yellow/pressed) The higher values are coming from the Major boxes, giving 20 points on the right side vs 18 points on the left side. The second higher grade book shows the same value on both the green and the yellow areas 30.5|6.5 It looks like the entire "Major" column on the Pressed/Yellow side are all set to a value of 20 vs the Green side being set at 18 Thanks for the tool!! Going to print a few out as I set up some cleaning/pressing and sending off to CGC soon. I also found this nice little chart/tool while searching for some helpful grading "scales" i.imgur.com/8hPK0w0.png QUESTION: Can you maybe make a brief video showing/describing using the other Tabs on this Google Sheet. Is the CGC Analysis tool up to date? I know the rates have at CGC have changed recently. Do you use the submission analysis tab? Thanks again! EDIT: Grammar

Thanks for catching that error! I guess updated the left side and forgot to make the same change on the right, doh! I do have a video on the "analysis" sheet, and am doing one on the shipping tab this week or next Please let me know if you think of anything else that might be useful, or any gaps.. and I'll do my best to get it done!

@@ImproveCollectingComics The only other thing that I have made myself is a cost analysis tool for book initial cost, raw book value pre-slabbing, post-slabbing and expected total costs for the CGC slabbing submission(need to include shipping costs on mine still and insurance for high value submissions) and I guess press/clean cost for those that don't do their own(don't have this on mine as I also do this at home!)
