Silver Age Comic Book Dry Cleaning Tutorial: Tales to Astonish #44 CPR Episode 2.
This video series will cover all aspects of Comic Book CPR: Crack, Press, and Resubmit. We will cover how to evaluate a comic book CPR candidate, crack open a slabbed comic book, clean and press the comic, and send if off to get re-graded to maximize value, whether you have a PGX, CBCS, or CGC slab.
Our CPR candidate is a nice Marvel Silver Age Key: Tales to Astonish #44 in PGX 6.5 with Off-White to White Pages. It’s the 1st appearance of the Winsome Wasp, by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
In this video i demonstrate a thorough dry-cleaning of the front and back covers and evaluation for reglossing, which is a form of comic book restoration.
